YouTuber PewDiePie made $7 million in 2014

[Pimp]

This guy has over 6 million Twitter followers? He has more than some superstars. That's crazy.

 

[Reality]

is it really surprising that he made 7 million, for the level of celebrity and mainstream acceptance he's gotten... that number is not mindblowing at all....

he is literally the biggest draw in the supposed craze of online youtubers.... and he made 7 million before taxes? thats nothing.

care to share how much you made last year?

There was a news story a mom and her child watch guys like him during heir Saturday mornings like it's Saturday morning cartoon show

obviously 7 million dollars is alot of money to me or you, but if the conversation is how much these youtubers are making relative to other forms of media........... its peanuts...

The maker of minecraft, which is an indie game... is worth 1.5 billion dollars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Persson

and yall are over here busting your nut over 7 mil... i mean good for pewdepie but thats nothing considering the amount of money floating around new media.

Its all ad sharing

Yeah but when is youtube going to make money? They have never broke even. This is the part I'm trying to wrap my head around.

oh shyt

Would I be wrong to put my son on YouTube and pimp him out ? I've been thinking about this for about a year now. lil nikka is almost good at everything. He grew up on this youtube shyt so if I make a video of him he naturally just goes into youtube mode. Lil nikka be thinking everything goes straight to youtube he even ends videos with "don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe "

But seriously... why not? Get him into video media/editing and you're actually looking out for him. Especially if he is already interested in that kind of thing.

it's kids. kids will watch the same thing over and over again relentlessly because it makes them happy.

This channel is literally someone opening toys, they have 7 billion cumulative views

This channel is a kid opening up toys and playing with them, 1 billion cumulative views
https://www.youtube.com/user/EvanTubeHD/about

Here's the double dip catch, kids are dumb enough to click on ads, so the $$$ generated is way more impactful vs. adult views where people run ad block or know what an ad is.

My 3 yr old love those channels.. LOL ... good think i use the You tube kids app on my ipad... no commercials to click

Google makes the majority of the ad revenue though

I'm not talking about revenue, I'm talking about profit. They spend more on YouTube than they make.
