I mean I assume they make some good money based on how these people live.

You'd think some of them would talk about it.
Like I have zero issues talking about how I make $120k/yr.

I believe Youtube explicitly forbids them from doing so. I'm guessing other platforms have similar restrictions.

It's not stable income. Like most of their money comes at the end of the year when there are the most sponsors and offer the most.

Telling people how much they make would discourage people from donating to their Patreons.

I make approximately $110-130 a month from the ads on my channel. I make around $20 a month from Patreon.

Even traditional jobs where you are nothing more than a drone aren't stable as businesses can fire you, cut your hours, or lay you off for any reason they want.

But wage is more or less predictable. These entertainers have no idea what will come in.

The latest job I just accepted is $55k / year

considering where I live with the cost of living, and my experience in the field. I'm also on a 3 month trial period and will get a bump up then as well.

Also, where is RottenMonk?

Also the general topic is stupid because -- outside of nations with vastly different cultures, like China -- *nobody* discloses how much money they make.

No, that's the definition of a stable income. If you know how much money you'll have from your job at the end of the month -- assuming you have that job -- it's pretty fucking stable. If you have to estimate or guess, it's not.

You're confusing stability with job security, but keep in mind you have NO fucking job security as an influencer, contractor, etc. If YT, Twitch, IG, etc, decides to ban an influencer, all that vanishes overnight. There's no such thing as absolute security. You can lose anything, so it's a stupid and kinda contrarian point.

The titties can even be the clickbait, though.

True, but you have no security as a small business owner/sole proprieter either. Your business could go under overnight and you'd be left with nothing but debts.

Advertising how much money you make as an influencer could only have negative outcomes.

Most don't make money. They are too busy falling off mountains and cliffs, or getting hit by busses, trains and cars and so on.

tbh, a lot of them go into debt with a fake-until-you-make-it attitude.

If people find out, then more people would jump aboard and the influencer would have more competition with someone who does the same thing or better

Some might think it comes off as humble bragging and understand the canvases might be jealous of how much money they doing what they do vs how little some of their viewers make who work a lot harder
