I was having this conversation with a friend of mine the other night who has been building up his Youtube base and was complaining about the big media companies coming in and changing the ways that "the small guys" are making their living on Youtube. There are people who have been riding the system for years making a couple hundred grand off of stupid ass videos people watch on a website. You had to know that bubble was going to pop eventually.
Except they're not making a couple hundred grand, at least, not a year, off of youtube.
I'm indifferent on Matt Farrah, but he did do a really interesting podcast interview about how he got started and how he's been able to turn what he does into a business. tl;dr, each youtube video might net a few thousand bucks, with his massive audience now. He has to hustle 8 other ways to really make it work but the youtube vids give him the audience for it.
