Not saying they are or aren't getting a bag like that cause far be it from me to count another man's paper :dame:

But y'all still doing the "so and so must be loaded cause they drive a (insert high end luxury car)" like that hasn't long since been debunked as an indicator of any real wealth?

Also a lot of these youtubers/creator/influencers are being bankrolled by silent investors. Put them up in mansions and fund their antics while taking a big cut of the profits

That shouldn't be a deterrent to some people here who have a solid enough fanbase to support their work.

It's such a low cost opportunity that I genuinely do not get the distain. 99.5% fail because literally everyone can do it. It's like every entertainment field - talent rises to the top, but unlike all of the other entertainment fields, there are no gatekeepers on the internet. It's the best example of "there's something out there for everyone"

Y'all posting insane shyt here all the time and still consistently get daps. If you get a lot and all the time. You might have something you could bring to YouTube or another social media platform.

Yall just old as fukk and have a disdain to anything new. nikkas acting like luddites even after seeing the success of so many black people thanks to this shyt. It's a new age
Posting on a forum is widely different than generating YouTube revenue. Daps aren't dollars.

You also have to find and market to your audience. This isn't impossible and it doesn't warrant a "never try" attitude, but we should be realistic. Those same low barriers to entry means potential customers have to wade through thousands of content creators to get to you.

To be real, at some point You Tube will reduce the payouts for these content creators. I believe this happened in the past already. If folks are doing well on YT they better make sure they got multiple streams of income cause putting everything in one basket is a risk. They should have having something going for themselves outside of online activities to be safe.

Payout been reduced, google been seen this coming and restructured everything immediately when they took over.

Before all you needed was just a vid to pop to make money regardless off subscribers count.

I miss pre google youtube. Algorithm was a lot nicer for non sponsored folks. Everyone really could eat.

YouTube and streaming are top heavy. To live off it you needed hundred thousands or millions of subscribers to make it work. It can be a good side hustle but building from scratch is a long and arduous process if no one collabs or puts you on.

My favorites are Tra Rags n LongBeach Griffy. No flexing money or ish, just hilarity day in and day out. From out the mud.

Another mainstay is the comedian Josh Johnson.

Started off just doing sets years ago, he's blooming right now.

Dude's a Comedy central correspondent for the Daily Show yet also weekly 20 minute uploads standup sets that on average get 650k views or more.

Cashing it in coming and going.

At least change your son channel to :

Cj on 32's.

This white content creator having a Lamborghini is no accomplishment. They got web farm money. At least have him watch the best black youtuber ever.
Plus the best youtube fleet of cars.

Buy a raffle ticket too.


to all you coli nikkaz.

How y'all front on cj on 32s.

let me know about y'all.




Again :

Best black youtuber = cj on 32s


You fronting and hating. If you say otherwise. Plus if it ain't cj. Then what is this better.

Nah...most of these cats are either renting or they come from well-to-do families, allowing them to sit around all day coming up with content.

Some of them make legit bank but we all thought a lot of 90s/00s rappers were balling until the truth came out.

Why would anyone pay money to someone to watch them spend said money?

People are genuinely sleeping on the money there is to be made from YouTube and twitch right now. Instagram and kick are different levels.

But it genuinely always blows my mind seeing how easily people dismiss shyt like this. People are saying these cars are leased without any knowledge of them already being previously rich as fukk off Vine alone.

It's an entirely different world if you're not used to it, which is shame. Because some people from here could easily profit off content. But instead will see someone like Ak do it and just hate for a decade lol.

New podcast coming with some coli people soon. Anyone interested just hit me up.

What type of content yall plan on doing? My homies started a podcast damn near 10 years ago when the lane was still empty but it wasnt organized enough and it was like 9 of us but only me and 2 others had the personality and jokes to carry it. Like someone said its hard to have kids and a job and devote time to a fulltime cast so it fell apart

There was a leak a couple years ago for Twitch payouts.

It's all top heavy and competitive.

Successful Twitch streamers make, on average, between $100,000 to $200,000 monthly between subscriptions, ad revenue, sponsorships, and donations, but they only earn about $2.50 from each subscriber.

Mid-tier streamers with 1,000 to 10,000 viewers make $5,000 to $30,000 per month, and small streamers with 5 to 100 subscribers make $50 to $1,500 a month.

About three-quarters of small Twitch streamers make no money​

About 72.8% of smaller streamers don’t earn money on Twitch, according to a poll of 276 Twitch streamers conducted by the Discord channel of Stream Scheme. Only 15.2% of respondents make between $1 and $25 monthly.

Between OnlyFans and YouTube, quite a few people are making a lot of money. The real money is selling products to your audience, whether it’s ebooks/courses or something else that can be made cheaply and sell for a good profit.
