Found a pretty interesting article about this:

"Another year has almost come to an end, and 2016 was a major one for YouTubers when it came to earning cold hard cash.

The top 10 highest-paid YouTube stars this year made a collective $70.5million, with the top earner raking in a cool $15million.

Swedish gamer Felix Kjellberg, known to his fans as PewDiePie, took the number one spot for the second year in a row thanks in part to his nearly 50 million subscribers.

Joining him on the Forbes list are comedians, a prankster, and an LGBT youth activist, among others.........."


For the list of the top 10 and to read the full article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4007938/The-10-Highest-Paid-YouTube-stars.html

Thoughts?

I think it's pretty cool that Youtubers are making it on to the Forbes rich list.

Also, check out some of the comments at the bottom of that article lol. It's interesting seeing how toxic and envious people are about successful YouTubers or even how they just don't seem to "get it":

u mad bro?
 
I saw the same article! I thought it was cool and kind of validates the career to people who discredit it. Also, I don't blame some of those commenters, someone could probably name off hundreds of traditional celebrities and I would have no clue who they are lol.
 
Phil D talked about the Forbes list in one of his recent vids, said they tried but as far as real numbers go they over-exaggerated quite a bit since they don't know all the back-end mumbo jumbo. No surprise though that people are stupid like that in the comments trying to be edgy but they probably watch every pewdiepie video religiously.
 
Of course Pewds was Top /s. But seriously are those people just mad? We work hard for our subs and views it's not that easy.
 
I think a ton of people who make a lot of money in entertainment aren't well-known to the majority of the population. YouTube is an easy target, especially for people who are a bit older than the audience skews, but the top earners do prove that there's a big market for creative folks on this platform.

Eh people are morons, and jealous at that.


Take any movie star/actress that gets paid 20-30mil for saying three lines "bravo bravo you did great!!!" or even better "show some skin for a minute and say one line in the shower -- 30mil!!"

But of course that's real talent and jobs and spending 16-18 hours a day making and editing content and interacting on social media's / promoting. That's just a crap hobby that shouldn't earn a damn penny.
