@moonman its very feast or famine. The top 50 YouTubers make more than the rest of YouTube creators combined
-
@moonman I'm not making that money up, its according to YouTube itself. I ... er, don't really consider it a selling point like they were trying to make it sound like though.
-
@nerthos @moonman I find Markiplier the very epitome of cringe.
-
@purplehippo @moonman The funny thing is, is the ones beside the big moneymaking ones that see the most success with youtube, seem to be the ones that don't treat it as an income source. I don't think you can really "force" it.
-
@purplehippo @moonman Clive Mitchell makes 1672 US/mo on patreon for his videos, I mean, thats not a hugeass wage but its definitely something you can live off (its about what I make with HA!)
-
@nerthos I am not familiar with the term so I'm not quite sure what you mean but I think we can both agree he is annoying, from what you say.
-
@purplehippo @moonman That's really the common thread with the successful people who arent the mainstream big name thing. They're knowledgeable people doing stuff they'd be doing anyways. John Ward was doing the teardowns of dodgy products for years and years on his own electrical company's website for yonks before he started doing youtube videos, for instance.
-
@nerthos That seems an apt description for these people. They're so bad you almost feel bad just by the weak association of watching their videos.
-
@moonman @purplehippo He's scottish and lives on the Isle of Man. As long as he doesn't shop at Waitrose, he can easily live off that.
-
@purplehippo @moonman Isle of Man rents hit rock bottom last year because the local tourist industry basically just died dead.
-
@nerthos If I had a kid who I knew watched Markiplier, we'd have to have a serious discussion about life choices.
-
@nerthos Haha, pretty much
-
@purplehippo @nerthos Period blood hair man should calm the fuck down
-
@moonman @nerthos The problem is they got exactly the audience they cultivated.
-
@nerthos You joke, but I'm pretty sure the reason the latest generation of Americans are so stupid is because they grey up with parents who just sat them with the tele and youtube to placate them so they didn't have to properly raise them.
