[quote=Anonymous]My daughter started a YouTube channel about a year ago. Recently, after upgrading her editing software, her videos have really improved in quality. The channel has been monetized from the start, but until recently, she only made a few dollars a month. In the past few months, though, her subscriber count and views have skyrocketed (I’ll admit I don’t totally understand how it all works), and now she’s starting to earn a noticeable amount of money.

This week, she shared with my husband and me how much she’s been making. DH immediately said she should give him 25% of her earnings. She pushed back, saying that it’s her channel, she does all the work, and we wouldn’t even know about it if she hadn’t told us. DH’s argument is that we bought her computer, pay for the internet, and she’s using our home as her base of operations. She feels like she’s being punished.

For context, she keeps her GPA high, is generally a responsible kid, and has been saving most of her earnings. She occasionally spends some money on small things. For example, she spent $50 at Marshall’s last week and about $25 going out to lunch with friends.

I’ve been staying neutral so far, but I’m curious to hear what others think. Is DH reasonable, or should she be allowed to keep her earnings since she’s the one doing the work?
