This idea looks good so far, but I would like to add a suggestion.
We could consider adding ads if this idea is successful and the channel has a decent amount of viewers/subscribers at one point.
I am sure that (almost) everyone wouldn't mind having to watch a couple of ads here and there, since they would want to support this project. I'm aware that it does take a good amount of views to get a decent amount of money. Although, we don't really lose much if this idea fails: If we get money, great. We donate it to the server. If it does not get big enough and we don't get enough money, we tried but didn't lose anything.
I don't see any obvious downsides of this suggestion. Perhaps there are some? Let us know!

It sounds like a good idea and as you said, it does not have many downsides. Im not sure what the criteria is to advertise on Youtube but for Twitch:

[color=#32323e][font=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Average veiwership of 500+ (I've heard they still accept lower ones though)[/font][/color]

[color=#32323e][font=Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Also I recommend using OBS for streaming + recording (What I use) It is free and has a lot of features + videos don't take up too much space like with fraps[/font][/color]
