If anything, this shows that YouTube is actually spreading the wealth somewhat more. If the salary of the biggest YouTuber with the most sought after audience earns as much as an average baseballer. Or probably what some first class footballer would get for a 15 second spot on tv.
- lovich 9y agoI don't see how it's spreading the wealth, youtube/google just keep more of the value created than the MLB/NBA/NFL.
- tempay 9y agoDo they? I think the creator/YouTube split is approximately 50/50 which seems reasonable as both parties provide value. I have friends just about managing to live off YouTube money (with other related revenue streams like blogs) with a "small" following in some niche area. The few people I know of in "minor" sports have a full time job to pay their bills.
- petra 9y agoWhat kind of traffic do you think your friends bring ? and with that in mind, what's your estimate to the number of people making a living from YouTube ?
