His YouTube channel is estimated to net him $500K+ per year with negligible expenses. His business has an estimated revenue, per the linked article, of 1-2 million per year, with 15 employees or so. In all probability the YT channel is much more lucrative than the business is.

Where are you getting your speculative estimates? I just googled it and see numbers about a tenth of what you’re suggesting for 1.5M subscribers. It doesn’t seem probable at all that his channel is more lucrative. I also don’t understand why you emphasized “revenue” for the repair business, when the YT income is also revenue, or how you know what his YT channel expenses are. Care to elaborate?

  Regardless, why would it even matter? "Louis makes 500k per year from Youtube ads" is not a valid response to "Apple is harming consumers and destroying the environment"

  There are a number of sources that put him in that league given his number of videos and engagement. As to why I emphasized revenue, the expense to run a YouTube channel from a little room is a world removed from running a repair business with 15 employees.

    Please, do share a “number” of sources, that was my question: where are you getting the info you’re using to speculate? From my own sources (Google search), it seems like you might be exaggerating. What is your point is about the YT revenue vs the repair revenue? Why do you assume they’re separate things? Maybe the YT channel is marketing for the repair business, and both operate as a single entity? Highly monetized YT channels frequently require a staff to maintain, to do filming and editing, writing and research, marketing and SEO, not to mention the time investment to produce a lot of content. How do you know what’s involved behind the scenes of this particular channel? Why are you certain the expenses are negligible and don’t involve employees? People just baselessly assuming YT vids are easy and cheap is one of the reasons so few people make money on YT, and so many people share myths about who’s getting lucky and by how much.
