tell me more about youtube paying for content please...
More views/subs, more $$ you get from ad revenue.
There are some stipulations, like you can't bash other youtube partners and stuff. And they also look at your subs to views ratio. So if you have a ton of subs but very little views, you won't get paid or paid as much since you may have created 1000 accounts to subscribe to just yourself and try to rig the system.
That's my understanding of it. It does become a full-time job for most people, and in the end they get rewarded very decently. A good example is Kinobody (Greg O'whatever his name is), from youtube alone he built a whole intermittent fasting empire lol. Drives around in a Lambo and a Tesla, lives in a very nice house. Only thing is, he's probably the douchiest, self-absorbed asshat on the internet. But I feel like the douchebags are the ones that do the best on this youtube thing.
