YouTube Millionaire! Or not?

[markkaz]

Being a millionaire has a specific meaning in my book.
It means a million dollars.

Maybe it is literary license, but they are trying to associate
a million subs with being a millionaire

In viewing his SocialBlade, he gets about the same amount of views
per month as I do with my piddly 31K subs =)

Not counting any peripheral earnings he may have, if I use
my earnings as a comparison, he won't be a millionaire in
as far as I am concerned for another 5-7 years.

So what do you think? Is a million subs good enough to be
called a millionaire?

Maybe a "YouTube Millionaire", but not a millionaire in the monetary sense of the word.

I suggestion we use the term Millioner.

But also, keep in mind that millionaire refers to your available assets (house, car, savings, etc), not annual income. So *shrugs* he could be.

I Think that you could call it a YouTube Millionaire as GafferGames said. It would make more sense.

Naw Youtube Millioner makes much more sense. A million subs does not mean he's rich, so it sounds kinda stupid to call him a millionare.

I like the Millioner suggestion since when someone hears millionaire they instantly think of money and worth. YouTube Millionaire would make people think they became a millionaire off YouTube

I just call them big you tubers! or maybe you could cll them "youtubers over 1,000,000 club"

 

[MarkRodriguez2012]

Lmao youtubers over nine thousand club lo.

By my math, you'd need to get about 500 million (500,000,000) or a half billion views per year to earn $1M in revenues from YouTube monetization. (Give or take...)
