It's the Daily Mail, what on earth makes you think that it's remotely true!? That didn't last long did it?

I know this is way off topic but this got me thinking about "Celebs". In particular YouTube.
My daughter (along with the rest of the planet) is into the slime craze.
She was watching a video on YouTube. This video was of a pair of hands, silent and at x2 speed.
10 MILLION views.
Another, again slime but better produced had just finished a tour of the US..... MAKING SLIME. Tens of millions of views.
How does youttube monetisation work? Are these lunatics making millions?

Neil Ruddock, the ex Liverpool footballer featured on the Can't pay... Court Bailiff type programme, the new build detached house and shiny cars were both on tick and Bailif's left with nothing iirc.Davie_GLA said:

Some are. My daughter used to watch videos by Disneycollector. If the Mail is to be believed (which it isn't of course), she was raking in $5m per year unboxing toys. And probably less exhausting than her previous career. My daughter (along with the rest of the planet) is into the slime craze.

Youtube is full of grown ups playing with toys and raking it in. The toy manufacturers supply the popular ones with new stuff FOC. It's like one long sickly advert. Banned in our house now. Morality aside, the accents were horrific.
I'm not so clued up on this stuff but can anyone say how someone like DW would typically make an income? Former popstars at least must have some royalties flowing in if they've had any kind of success so I guess they'd never be homeless but I assume someone like Daniella Westbrook is only going to get the odd 'telling her story' type deal. But I guess even they must dry up after a while.

Gawd. Even if assume the mail amp that up by 5x actual truth that's just astonishing. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2958242/Br...

The sad thing is that the educational and science stuff isn't close.

They make a few quid from the Daily Mail by agreeing to go and look at some shiny cars in a shiny car showroom while being papped. The Daily Mail then make up a load of utter b
ks to go with it, the great unwashed get all out of their pram about it, and everyone's happy.

It works because the person who makes the video gets a slice of the income from the adverts you see played before their video. If 10million people watch the video, that is more than watch most UK TV programmes, and so getting a 5-second advert in before the video starts makes that person a few pence each time. It adds up if you're making multiple videos per week. My daughter (along with the rest of the planet) is into the slime craze.

Plus, many channels also now sell merchandise alongside what they show on the channel, for which they get a cut as well, and other adverts on top.
