Dr Gloom 21912 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 You really need hundreds of thousands to millions of subscribers before being “content creator” can be considered a viable career. Unless you have generous/tolerant parents willing to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in tears when he was trying his hotel food in Portugal. The bit where he was trying his soup. There was big fuck off lumps of chicken in it and he just kept trying the liquid and going "Can't even taste the chicken". Try fucking eating some of it! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the amount of views. yeah because the longer people watch, the more ads they’re served. Better engagement means your videos are more likely to be picked up by the algo though and therefore should result in more views/subs because in theory it’s being seen by more eyeballs. his figures don’t suggest to me that he is making a living out of it.

He's not much older than my eldest, there's no way if I could afford to bankroll that lifestyle that I'd be doing it without getting in on the act. I'm willing to bet he's got a revenue stream through this endeavor. Doesn't he claim to have given up further education to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that the YT income is paying for the travel, the tickets etc. But he's living with his parents who very likely bought his equipment (such at it is), so he's got no overheads because his parents are footing those bills.

If this was simply 'bank of Mum & Dad' it wouldn't be sustainable for long and you'd have expected the cash to have come to an end already. He's clearly got a decent revenue stream coming from somewhere and for all the figures being banded around, we really don't know. I can't discount the idea that he may be on the club's payroll in some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44805 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 He'll be telling his mam and dad that whatever income he makes on the channel, he needs to reinvest to build the channel. So 5k will do very nicely for these little trips he's been on this summer. "Content is king guys. Once vuh channuw hits a hundred fousand subscwibaz fings wiww start to snowball.
