Is YouTube still possible to get a following and income or is

Too much adblocks out there OP. Better record, give some samples and sell with PayPal/Patreon

It can be a good idea, it just depends on what you're looking to get out of it. As >>1379279 said there are too many adblocks out there to make a good enough income off of ads alone. You would either need sponsor ads throughout the video or at the end, considering its educational, I dont really know the market of sponsors and such so the availability you have is unknown to me. Best bet would be >>1379279 idea with paypal/patreon. A good example of this would be the youtube channel, captain disillusion. He makes education video debunking videos, very high quality, and overall just a great guy but he is underappreciated. however, he has a patreon which I believe a good amount of people support him on.

So all in all, go ahead and try it, there should not be any harm in trying. Dont get your hopes up, but you might be able to make a bit of cash on the side.

Not really since all big youtube channels have a studio and what not. If you don't plan to put money beforehand, don't expect to get anything back.
Also entertainment channels are more trendy than educational. Sad, but it's the truth.

It's a learning experience, which is infinitely valuable. You'd be a fool to talk yourself out of it unless you're strapped for cash and were hoping it would be easy money, which it won't be.

I've made a total of $100 from youtube, I have 100 videos up and ive been doing it since 2013

Youtube isn't an endgame anymore. Use it to get popularity/leverage into a real world position. Definitely do it as if whatever you are doing currently as main income doesn't work out, you look passionate and hard working. If I am wrong about you not making money, well that is a win for you too.

It's a lot of hard work and dedication.
