Andrey from PokéHouse breaks down how a high school friend basically forced him to launch YouTube in late 2022, how vendor POV content became his lane, and what it really takes to survive the algorithm without losing your mind. The conversation jumps from dealing with negative comments and pricing chaos at busy card shows to monetization math, pumping out three shorts a day, and his plan to build a giveaway binder of duplicate Mega Pokémon pulls.
