Quite a few YouTubers out there making millions in like 2 year spans. What do engineers think about this? Is there really a better faster way to reach there?

    The equivalent in our world is Elon musk, bezos, doordash new grads, etc. a lot higher ceiling in this world, just as much luck required.

    I guess you should analyze this from a probabilistic standpoint. Once you multiply those millions by the chance of earning them (the number of millions-making YouTubers divided by the total number of YouTubers), you'll get an expected income which is probably pretty close to zero.

    Not to mention I imagine thereโ€™s a high attrition rate with these people, in the sense that they might make a lot of money for a while, but then they lose viewers as people lose interest, and their income drops drastically as well.

      Very true. Precious few influencers are able to captivate their audiences for a long period of time. They come and go.

  • Gig economy. In future( and currently) lot of people will use other such platforms to make money instead of regular jobs.

      OP
      I agree. However, it seems every other person is becoming a youtuber and going brrrr
      Also Iโ€™m not talking about the top youtubers. They might be in 8 figures by now
