Sparkles got a new upgrade. He gets more money from his other job but yes he is a rich youtuber in a sense.

Yeah? Well aside from the fact that I'd rather watch paint drying than read your boring replies

For that 'look at me video' alone, I will be avoiding any sparkles videos. What a douche.

No it's not. If they were doing something worthwhile it would be great, but they're just contributing to the morass of **** that is marketed to us, and helping in a nugatory race to the bottom.

Don't watch them then.

Simple.

Personally, I wish I could get a following like some of them and make money from Youtube videos, but I can't. I just do a few videos now and again for my own amusement, bonus if others like it.

I like watching the Frankie (OnPCin1080p) videos, esp the DayZ ones.

I'm pretty sure he does it as a (lucrative) sideline to his normal day job.

The amount of work he puts in is insane. I dont believe he has a normal day job.

I find TotalBiscuit does this in a perfectly fine and to the point manner. If I remember correctly any video of his that is paid for he states at the start of the video.

Yer he's the only one of these type I pay any attention to, its a realy sad his liver cancer has come back and is incurable. So the poor guy wont be around to to much longer.

I'm sure he's said he's a trainee solicitor atm, sometimes he doesn't post a video for days or even weeks.

Don't get the hate people give these people, well actually thinking about it I do, it's all about jealousy.

Fair play to these YouTubers.

Doesnt quite add up, same for Simon cowell that you dont have to like him personally but its basically an export industry for the UK forming talent and retailing it globally. Its good stuff overall even if its boy band noise or irratating youtube videos in this case

What's his other job?

He says he gets his money from "other projects", maybe he's a developer? Dont know tbh, he's minted anyway.
