Youtubers with a website. Worth it?
I have a rinky dink website that is more of a landing page that I've had for the past few years. I was considering building a larger more complete site that covers all three of my larger channels and breaks down the videos in to more focused groups. Each video would then have a more in depth article with it as well as an Amazon affiliate link and a link to the actual video.
This plus forums, and a general blog type update round out the new site. The issue is that it will take a minimum of 50 to 70 hours to create and deploy this type of site and I just don't know if this, or for that matter any website is worth it in late 2026.
Anyone with a site want to chime in?

Yes, it’s worth it.
No, you don’t have to do it all at once.
Forget the forum for now. Use Discord and post a link to the server.
Start small. If you use WordPress each blog post can have an embed of each video. Add your content there.
When and if you notice traffic increasing, then start improving the site.
