Topic	I wonder if/when a bunch of big YouTubers are going to quit, and what they'll do
Zeus 10/26/17 4:30:07 PM #18:	Some of them will have made and saved enough from their run to retire. Others can stay on top for ages since they've built a huge following and, even if the platform died, they'd migrate to a new one. A lucky few will transition into real entertainment. In general, I can't imagine any of them quitting unless the money was no longer there. However, if they couldn't succeed any more as internet entertainers, they'd probably have to fall back on the low-end work many of them had been doing. Realistically speaking, most will eventually be replaced by new stars and their audience will gradually drop off until it stabilizes at a lower number. The people who will really be affected are the marginal stars who likely have been doing other stuff as a fallback during this time. Keeping in mind that there are many channels which don't rely on money from YT. ADoseofBuckley, for instance, doesn't even run ads and its owner has a normal job despite having a 600k sub channel. Rockies posted... jayj420 posted... Get a real job? Yeah, but it might be tough to get a "real" job when you've spent five to ten years just making mediocre videos. Hell, I think a lot of people got into YouTube because they sucked at working real jobs. I'm sure after YouTube they can get some minimum wage job, but they're in for a rude awakening if they expect to be able to pull nearly the same income. Most people outside of a few internet spheres don't care if you were a YouTube "celebrity", and very few YouTubers have any sort of future in mainstream entertainment. A lot of the guys who get big came from minimum wage backgrounds so I'm sure they'd likely go back to that. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:889199960] in I wonder i...
