i'm always amazed by the amount of money that Youtube produces, but good for Derek, he should enjoy his success.
When one has 20 million subscribers who get notified of the videos, those few cents per Ad, add up quickly. He's also worked his ass off on the quality side of YouTube, which has earned him a lot of good will and supporters.
Goes to show that quality content, can also be profitable. It's not all about the bottom dwellers.
It was just a general observation of how the Internet is completely financed by advertising. When it comes to Derek and his channel, I'm happy he has success, it's one of the best channels on the whole platform.
