I became a full-time YouTuber.

Those people aren't optimistic enough to do something like you are doing now. Well done on pursuing your dreams and anyone can do it, just need patience and persistence. We all progress at different paces so anyone reading this, don't be put off when hardships arise.
 
Sorry, but the math does NOT check out, you are downright lying to us. Social blade stats show that you indeed have gotten some success recently but hardly something that is sustainable.

Your views and subscribers peaked last September at 277,000 views (which, with the 1-2 dollar per 1000 views means $277.00 to $554.00) and 2,760 subscribers. After that stellar month there was a decline (minus a little blurb in January) until April when you started gaining. This month seems to be a really good one according to social blade stats, but it most likely is yet another little blurb before you drop like a stone again. I look at the facts, and the facts don't lie. I wish you all the success in the world, but you sir are counting your chickens before they've hatched. Most of your videos are sub 100K views. You are no where NEAR where you need to be to make it sustainable.

To make minimum wage in the states you need at least 628,000 - 1,256,000 views a month. While you might make that this month, all the previous months have fallen way short of that. If you can live off minimum wage you are close. But I can tell you most people can't. Take another 6 month evaluation from this point on. If the growth continues you got a winner.

No one likes a lying sack. Especially when it is easy to uncover said lies. Try again grasshopper.

WOAH a big factor you are not taking into consideration is this man streams full time on youtube with around 300 viewers. Donations can be a huge part of him being able to sustain himself full time from youtube. He also has sponsor available so who knows how many people are doing that. So unless you are able to see those statistics dont jump to conclusions.

Oh yeah, but those are all unknowns. I deal with what I can see. And what I can see is a lying sack. I’ve been on 300 viewer twitch streams and didn’t see anyone donating. So there you go. I call it as I see it.

From my own personal experience streaming on youtube with a 140 subs and a average of 9 viewers per stream i was pulling in around $100 in donations a month sometimes more depending. My current mic, audio mixer, and webcam were all from donations. i have a friend who streams on twitch with 1600 followers and he pulls about $250 a month in donations / monthly subscribers. Alot of streamers do go full time off of his numbers. Not saying he is rich but saying he is prob making it. Expecially depending on his current living position. He may have several roommates to split the bills with. He may not have a car payment. He may live with family for free and has no bills so even making $500 a month is making it for him.

I think it's important then to disclose his living arrangement. Not everyone is going to have the financial situation that you describe. Thus, his claim that everyone can do it full-time based on his experience is moot because the scenario is deviated from the norm.

Really have been waiting on a reply from him in the subject. But i imagine a very large chuck of his income is from streaming. It is not uncommon for people to donate. I might catch one of his streams and see how lively his viewers are with donations. It will also be hard to gage how much he makes off of monthly sponsors. If he has 100 sponsors which is not to crazy with 20k subs. That alone could be the other half of his income to survive.
 
WOW! That is absolutely awesome! I honestly wish I where able to do that, maybe some day in the distance future :) Congratulations, and thanks for the motivation :) Keep chasing your dreams and goodluck! Hope someday I can make my dreams come true as well :) Just checked out your channel, it's pretty cool!

THIS.

I look at things from a perspective of loosing around $1,000 a month in housing (you should be able to get a small apartment for that, and maybe even some if not all utilities). And then another $1,000 to live life. My situation is Father of 2 kids, husband, house and cars. If I would look at it from my perspective the kid is 100% dreaming. But even from a solo point of view you can not make it. The fact he has remained quiet on the subject is probably very simple. He got called out, and doesn't have a response. He got owned. You don't stay away from a thread you created to bask in your own glory. Unless someone rightly calls you out on your BS.

People often think I am not a nice person. Nothing could be further from the truth. What I am is a realist. And many people don't know how to handle a realist.
