#3Each of those laser array chips is ~$300 when bought as a factory reject from China.
He has 9 of them...
Is YouTube really profitable enough to spend $2.5k just in parts, not to mention the other components and a few days to assemble test and film this?

It's of course dependent on a lot of factors, but after the twitch leak a video game content creator released a video about his revenue via YouTube and twitch: https://youtu.be/0DtTwGFwcQs
Plus he has utilized them for several videos which helps amortize the cost.

quick googles says $4.18 per 1,000 views
and that has 1.4M views so maybe it looks like it? Not to mention the cool brand building etc. I mean youtube is the new tv shows and maybe they want to make videos for a long time so why not.

Maybe he earns money elsewhere too. Tips, side gigs. The dude is highly educated he probably figured out various schemes to fund his passions.

There is no average CPM that can easily let you calculate revenue from AdSense from view count alone. It’s often cited by youtubers that their individual rates vary vastly: https://www.businessinsider.com/youtube-creators-say-ad-reve...
> YouTube creators are paid a certain rate for every 1,000 views, which varies depending on a variety of factors.

Have you seen the insane studio and production value of MKBHD?
They use better cameras than what some theater releases are shot on.
I definitely can't work out the budget of a youtuber either, but there is money to be made.
Speaking of which, does anyone know if Mr. Beast is actually giving away wads of cash and expensive cars on his channel? The only TV show I can think of that gave away more money was when Oprah gave everyone in the studio a car.

Prime subs make up almost half his revenue. It might seem like that is expensive for Amazon, but it is almost impossible to watch a stream without the streamer talking about Amazon Prime multiple times throughout the stream.
It must me the most heavily advertised in-stream / in-content thing of all time! Advertisement time for VPN's got nothing on Amazon Prime!
