    To this day I’m sure he is just laundring money. Or that he has some special deal with youtube.

    I don’t believe that he “just mastered youtube algorithm”, that’s not how things normally work. Idk to me just sound not trustworthy most of the time, there’s something going on.

      I did some napkin math on him when he first got famous, his giveaways represent a pretty small fraction of his yearly income before taking into account merch, restaurant licensing, etc. They seem huge but it goes to show how much a popular media personality can make if they are appropriately CEO-brained.

        That’s all based on his info on how much is he earning. Which may be a lie.

        I don’t even think his views per video are not inflated either by bots or by youtube themselves inflating the numbers.
