KP: 15 years ago, there weren’t jobs like Bloggers or YouTubers, but now the Internet has opened up a whole new range of possibilities to make money. YouTubers have the opportunity to get paid for their work. You’ve maybe heard about popular channels like Pewpewdie or PrankvsPrank or maybe Vitalyzdtv. Using their video editing skills, they’ve each been able to make millions of dollars per year from YouTube ad revenue by just posting unique videos. It sometimes sounds a bit unrealistic, but they’ve been able to do it thanks to YouTube’s Partner program which pays out pretty well to those who are able to clock in enough views on each of their videos.
According to Bloomberg, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan has expressed concern regarding the potential misuse of platform content by OpenAI’s Sora, an AI-driven video creation tool.
Shaz from TL writes: “Linus Sebastian’s media company, Linus Media Group, is under fire. From ethical concerns with videos, to allegations of workplace harassment.”
If you need (or prefer) to read video content on YouTube, you have options.
MKBHD isn't in the list, I thought he is making millions too with all that crazy stuff he get to review almost everyday. btw nice informative and well written article.
man thats amazing how much money they earn, youtube have given them great opportunity
I can't understand Pewpewdie's popularity.
Time to quit my job!
A lot of them that provide videos with little work(people like Pewdiepie) are heavily overpaid. They should not be making more money by sitting at home and commentating over a short 2 minute video, while others worked to grab hold of a high paying opportunity(doctors, scientists etc.) don't make nearly as much. Even other Youtubers that aren't afraid to speak the truth say that they're overpaid. I'm not specifically talking about people like Smosh and Freddie Wong who actually put a great amount of work into their videos.
