Quick answers
What tools do you need?
Just the platform account.
How much does it cost?
No paid tools needed: this case uses only the platform itself, which is free to join.
Is it allowed?
Yes, if it is original. YouTube does not monetize mass-produced or repetitive content. Source.
Watch out: Revenue is a third-party estimate, not reported by the channel. The Guardian notes it appears aimed at children; kids' content has stricter YouTube rules and limited ads.
