On a side note, my favourite is Salomondrin, very funny when he's dicking around with his side kicks, but also the 'let's talk about cars, yo!' feature is great too. And he's transparent about how he finds it all

Absolutely agreed. All 3 of them have a natural talent for entertainment. I wish Farshad would stop smiling so much though.

I still don't buy MoVlogs makes over a million dollars a year just from Youtube.

Quick maths that exclude any other interests; merchandise, brands, appearance fees etc:

50m views a month at the moment, presumably around $5 rpm, so translation to $250,000 a month or $3m a year.

Even if for some reason his RPMs are only at $2-3 or any other unusually low figure, he's still well over $1m.

Right, that's it I am selling the house and buying a 458. Youtube here I come... I am sure the wife will buy into the idea...
Dogs might not be happy though.

Damn, Smosh still going... Remember watching their bedroom skits 11 or so years ago (12 at the time), probably less than 50k views? Kudos for them for keeping up with it so long even if their audience 10 years ago grew up past them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1OXAQHv09E

Out by more than a power of 10 I'm afraid.

"a power of 10", means 10x.

"More than", means the obvious...

So, "more than 10x", capiche?

A power of 10 means multiplied by itself 10 times

10 to the power 2 isn't 20, it's 100 (10 squared)

To add, we all knew what you meant. Just some are more pedantic than others

Power of 10 means...10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10.

With your 'financial background' you refer to previously I'm surprised you seem to have confused 'power' with 'factor'...

Apparently I'm better at running a YouTube business

Hold on, why is £100k to a power of 10 not £1m?

Because it's £100k x 100k x 100k x 100k x 100k x 100k x 100k x 100k x 100k x 100k. Which is slightly more than £1M

if you replace 'a' with '1' in his original statement, then it does read correctly.

100,000 is 'ten to the 5'
1,000,000 is 'ten to the 6'

As such, 1,000,000 is larger than 100,000 by 1 power of ten

I guess this is how I meant it, English was never my strong point

Maybe I should go make videos like Mo - this wouldn't be a problem and I'd earn more

Bad news... thinking about it a bit more, you said that the guy was out by 'more than' a power of ten. I believe powers need to be integers, as such you are suggesting that it is, at the very least, out by 2 powers of ten... which would make it 10,000,000.

Based on this absolute cock up Shmee, I think you should pack your bags, flush your GoPro down the toilet (spare us the content though) and give up everything. There is no recovering from such a catastrophic statement... particularly when made on 'home of the pedants' Pistonheads

Dogs? Don't people love dog videos? They could be your biggest asset.

I was under the impression that Mr neistat did not monetize his videos on YouTube and instead earns money from his other businesses and ventures. Correct me if I am wrong? So that 250k per month from YouTube would be incorrect?

That was the case a long time ago, but he started monetising just like everybody else a while back too
