[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know whether this is fortunate or unfortunate, but my friend's son is raking it in with his YouTube channel. He also does video editing for other YouTubers. I have no idea how long someone can sustain this "career" but if a kid has an entertaining skill such as gaming or building stuff, other people may want to watch it online.[/quote]

😂 no this is not true

Do you not understand how many utters there are and the metrics for this [/quote]
I don't quite understand the utters part but the kid is bringing in six figures, which is common for highly successful YouTube channels. (TikTok also pays for views but not nearly as much.) It's enough to live on his own (he's mid-20s and a college dropout). There are TONS of people trying to build a YouTube audience and most of them will fail because they suck at videos. This kid is apparently pretty good, although my Gen-X eyes don't appreciate the content as I am not the intended audience.[/quote]

My nephew caught the Youtube wave early and has 6M viewers, is asked to consult, and could have retired at 25.  Probably could have been wealthier if he hadn't been focused on graduating college.  But that was almost a decade ago, and like I said, he tells everyone that he "caught a wave" and not to assume any of his cousins can follow his path. [/quote]
