Most people couldn't care less about being famous on the internet Sorry massive massive pet peeve for me. That aside yeah it's actually very cool how successful people can get off of youtube, there are a few musicians that make livings off of youtube that are hugely talented I'm actually listening to one right now and most of them are much more musically talented than most pop stars. | ||

My real question lies in how advertisers who pay youtube, think that their money is being put to good use. Nowadays, internet ads don't sway me to buy their stuff, perhaps even less so than TV ads. To me, advertisers are wasting money (the reality may be that internet ads are effective, I just don't feel that they are effective). | ||

I'm glad that a lot of entertainers can make careers and forge something bigger for themselves through this medium... I don't see the problem. | ||

Also I get the idea from your main post that you are not happy that someone is making money doing this because you don't find him funny or some such thing, this seems like pretty petty jealousy. | ||

If you are familiar with twitch/justin tv you can understand that they get paid based on however many thousand ad views they get. Nigahiga, as shown by social blade here: http://socialblade.com/youtube/user/nigahiga Easily pulls in 200k a year. As he is a high profile youtuber I would not be surprised if he was pulling in near the higher end value. Also I get the idea from your main post that you are not happy that someone is making money doing this because you don't find him funny or some such thing, this seems like pretty petty jealousy. nope not at all. Dont get why some of you guys think im bitter towards him. I dont have a problem at all. I just mentioned that i think there are some other youtube stars that i think are more entertaining but i dont really care, they arent taking money from me. The main point was that you can make a ton of money off youtube. I knew you could make money but didnt expect it to be six figures | ||

To me, advertisers are wasting money (the reality may be that internet ads are effective, I just don't feel that they are effective). The way they set things up, these youtube partners can pull in consistently at least 7 figures of views at least weekly (and some of them post videos more than once a week) from a very specific and targeted demographic. That kind of marketing is absolutely invaluable to any company. | ||

You don't get subscribers just by being lucky, you have to provide content that a lot of people like, have to do that consistently every day (depending on the content) and have to know a lot about marketing and advertising yourself. I wish it was as easy as a lot of people seem to think *looks at his 6 subscribers* :-( | ||

This idea that everyone should have a supposed 'proper job' and make money by slaving away in an office is a relic of the old fashioned mentality passed down by older generations. | ||
