Top uk Youtube earners.

Stop fucking about on here. Get earning.
At the very top is Olajide "JJ" Olatunji, who dropped out of college, but has made $4.5m (£2.9m) in the past year, according to a Forbes list of the world's highest-paid YouTube stars.
The 22-year-old, from Watford, has more than 10 million subscribers on his KSI YouTube channel and a "social reach" of 17.4 million when other social media platforms are taken into account.
He is best known for filming himself playing computer games while commentating on them, but he also makes comedy videos and more typical vlogs.
His vlogs include one where he decided to dye his hair blond and another in which he filmed himself for a week to give his viewers a chance to see what he does when he's not posting YouTube videos.

More evidence that today's kids are a bunch of cunts. Watching some other cunt play computer games?! Really?

No, it's watching someone else playing video games and then updating your status on social media to let others know.

A hundred years or so, someone probably said something similar about paying to watching someone else play football?

I might set up a YouTube channel of me watching this bloke's videos, with me commenting on his comments.

KSI is a fucking unbearable dickhead
Absolutely amazes me why anyone would 'subscribe' to his bollocks

I think you're onto a WINNER there, Matron!
However, your choice of wardrobe could make or break it.

The bloke gets called a dickhead, idiot, mong, cunt, retard etc etc, in my opinion though, he’s a pretty switched on and smart bloke and I doubt he gives a fuck or cares what anyone thinks.
If I could make millions just by having people watch me do everyday stuff, I certainly wouldn’t give fuck either.
Yes he’s a cunt, a very clever cunt!

We're all massive cunts. Some worked out how to get paid for it. People on here spend all day bickering for a bit of attention and something to do. This bloke does the same thing and gets a couple of million quid.

Maybe one day WHO will be made into some kind of real time soap opera that will go viral and be watched by millions. 'Who KIA is going to call pathetic tonight? stay tuned!'

I'm afraid that has already been done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25VUqjjOT0
He even uploaded a video of himself commenting on that. It all gets rather meta.

I wonder whether any businesses advertising on services such as Youtube, Facebook and Twitter actually know whether it is cost effective. It all seems a huge leap of faith to me. I wonder whether getting Clickthroughs, Likes, Re-tweets and Follows lead to more business. Maybe it does but just seems unlikely to me.
Personally, I have developed an instinct to filter or tune out sponsored content. Or is it getting to me unconsciously? I will close any add on Youtube as soon as I can. Can't help thinking it's all an unsustainable bubble but am probably wrong.

I'm not sure a niqab will float too many boats, if you get my drift.

Has anyone cornered the market yet for a middle aged bloke posting videos grumbling about EVERYTHING?
If not, I may have a way in to this..

I work in advertising, and specifically this area for the last year or so (working with youtubers creating content for brands).
I can categorically state that KSI is an absolute fucking tool. From first hand experience.
You get the odd one that's actually ok, but for the most part, they're idiots.
The likes of Zoella charges £50k for a few minutes of video!
The norm (not that it's acceptable) is around £3k/6k...
These fuckers make fortunes!

I just watched a bit if that KSI - what the fuck? The content is boring and the bloke isn't even funny or charismatic. I sometimes watch the hodge twins and although they spout a lot of bollocks they have charisma and a string sense of humour (even if its bit to your taste). This bloke has nothing, he's not even good looking.
in seriousness whats his demographic audience? I'm guessing 13 year old boys and young sockets?
Bizarre but good luck to the bloke, his content seems pretty positive from the little I've seen of it

Two questions;
1 - Who is paying them?
2 - Why?
