Because money follows popularity. Why are footballers paid insane amounts? Sponsors pay crazy money to get on their shirts fan pay crazy prices to watch a game so the wages affect the amount of money in the sport which is also reflected in the popularity.

Same applies to reality tv stars. It's much easier to watch other people's 'amazing' lives than it is to go and make an amazing life for yourself. And most people are lazy.

So for youtubers, why do they make money? They're popular, there are ads, companies want to sponsor popular things etc etc

Advertising basically. This is Google we're talking about!
 
Err. Advertising? Seriously confused now.


I dont see any ads when I look at You Tube (music videos mostly)

I just get recommendations based on my previous browsing (and I've managed to more or less nuke that annoyance)

If you're using an adblocker you won't, but otherwise, you'd see an ad at every yellow part of the tracker, during this video:

YouTube without an adblocker is pretty horrendous tbh :eek:
 
Ah right. Adblock and Ghostery stop these people from making millions ? I'm good with that.

Seriously. I still can't understand how ads on You Tube can generate millions.

Is there a whole world of retarded people buying into everything that's advertised?
 
No its speculative targeted. People buying stuff doesn't fund advertising.

Does anyone have any figures on how this works?

How does someone not buying something that's advertised generate all those millions of dollars that these guys earn?

Serious question.

His fanbase is mostly pre-teen kids. They're the ones clicking/watching the ads and won't know any better. It's not your Internet savvy OCUK armchair warrior with ad block installed. His CPM is low because of it but then he gets millions of hits per video.
 
The women love him, I mean come one if you were a woman could you not see the appeal. :p

Same with all the others Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, etc they all female eye candy.

It also works the other way with twitch tv and youtube females.

The internet is becoming a soap opera and a TV all in one and I don't like it. :mad:
 
OK. So. if someone clicks on an ad he gets paid. How much?

If someone views his video on YouTube, he gets paid. How much?

ANyone have any figures? To put this into some kind of perspective?

Its about £1,000 per million clicks/views, so go figure. ;)
