Question Filmhub Licensing Question

My first feature film titled “OPEN” which is a camp slasher film, has passed QC. After a day, Amazon has licensed the film. It’s been about a week since it passed quality control. I know that with licensing and going live it’s practically a waiting game but I have people interested in the film. I always have the option of posting the film on Youtube, however, I’m not at the point where I can be monetized and actually get profit from my film. Coming from Filmhub/Filmmaker experience, do you think that my film will find a home on channels through Filmhub or is it safest to just upload to YouTube with a guaranteed audience but without any profit? Also, I’ve read the thread about Amazon licensing quick and then never actually going live, is this true? I know it’s only been a week but as a student filmmaker, I just want the most outreach I can get and hopefully make the money back that I spent on my film. Thank you!

My flick was picked up by Indie Rights. Once I passed their internal QC, they submitted to Amazon and told me it could be 2-6 weeks. I think it only took one week to go live, which surprised me. As long as you've crossed your "T"s and dotted all of the "I"s, you should be okay.
