If I ever had 22 million dollars at any point of my life, I'd never work again, and probably give away a majority of that money.

my buddy has a kid in the toddler stages and even though they buy him plenty of toys that he expresses interest in, he never plays with them and prefers to park himself in front of the TV in front of these videos. thought his situation was a one-off but had no idea how huge this channel is, must be super common these days.

When the economy crashes the vast majority of those YouTube losers are gonna have to get real jobs.

I remember when my google Adsense cpm went down to like $0.02 in 2009 because every sane company cut its marketing budget

Friendly reminder that literally every estimate of online wealth generation is vastly off.

They likely made a mint, but I'd bet close to $22 million that they didn't actually make close to $22 million.

Must be nice for him. At least child labor laws aren't an issue, I guess. The amount of ad revenue he's accruing is ridiculous. I'm legit surprised that the companies didn't just exploit the platform as per usual.

At least you can argue that the personality or the gameplay is/can be interesting. The whole point of toys is to combine them with imagination to create the fun. I doubt 5 year olds are caring about other kids' personality.

A 5 year old kid is more relatable to other 5 year old kids than an adult, on average. I mean, they get to watch another kid enjoy toys and have fun and give them ideas for what they might want. And due to the ad revenue the kid accrues, it's tried and true targeted marketing.

Why not? It's one of the most open entry opportunities there is. All that's stopping you is coming up with a good idea and running with it.

Like I said, I wouldn't be qualified for it. No talent, no skill, no personality, I don't even own a mic or camera.
