I'm sure not as much because it's based on views, I believe.


The battlefield friends guys started going strong with just gaming videos because youtube isn't setup for animators to really make any money, but since you get the same amount of views from a video of you playing a game, and it's obviously less time consuming, Neebs Gaming is almost solely used to help fund their animation endeavors. That's why BFF's went over to vessel.

Yep, that about sums it up. I only watched one of his videos after seeing that South Park episode. I found him insufferable. My wife's 5th graders love him.

Right. You would promise all of this content, but then make all of your videos private.

I wonder how much money the Battlefield YouTubers make.



Doubt it even sniffs what PewDiePie makes. He has 34 million subs. It's nuts.

A good rule of thumb is they make $200 give or take for every 100k views.

Never heard of this dude before. I watched one of his videos and found him annoying and stupid. Life isn't fair.

I simply can't understand how kids like this guy. Annoys the frick out of me, but I have to respect the money and wife he got out of being an annoying youtuber.

Robbaz is probably my favorite youtuber. Dude is very good at a wide assortment of games and hilarious.

Yeah, she is not super attractive, but he definitely benefitted from that youtube money.

People don't strive for TV as much anymore, YouTube has what many people need.
