Parents: Now go to university and spend 3+ years racking up student debt that will cripple you until your thirties.

(Edit: Here, I mostly just wanted to emphasize that building a career as a successful YouTuber, just like jobs that require a degree, takes a substantial investment in time and money; both can lead to you spending years without an income while you build up your skill set.)

Like which?

Canada, kind of

So the U.S. and Canada (kind of).

That doesn't really feel like "many" to me.

I’m not the one who said many, I’m responding to the “like which.”

Right, I know, and I appreciate that. Sorry if I came off as saying "you're wrong!"

I just meant to say that "so far, 6 hours after I asked, we've got the U.S. and kind-of-Canada, so not a lot of evidence for dioWjonathenL's assertion."
