I'm seeing a lot of reaction videos popping up, especially from 3rd world countries. I found one in an eastern block country that are uploading a ton of videos just reacting to movies and tv series, so in a week they basically rack up 500k views. Multiplying that to a month and converting to a weaker currency means a lot of money (probably 3x as much as what I'm making as a senior developer, also in a 3rd world country). Probably for now it's still very viable, but the scene might change quite a bit in 5 years time. Also your entire income is tied to Youtube, just one arbitrary rule change on their side and there goes your whole life.
