Shoud I reveal I have a 300k+ sub YouTube channel when applying for PM positions?

Mar 12, 2021 9 Comments

Currently work in a quantitative researcher/data scientist type role. I want to get into product but have no direct experience working as a real PM. I'd say the closest thing I have to real product experience is growing my YouTube channel where I had to identify a product market fit and tailor videos/merch for my audience. However, I'm a bit crass in my videos (nothing too extreme but definitely not afraid of cursing/dark humor). I'm pretty sure I'm unidentifiable on my YT channel otherwise. Should I list this as an experience and make it a talking point? I feel like a lot of my product sense did come from growing my YouTube business but on the otherhand it could very well be considered unprofessional. Help!
