#3Watching one episode of The Annoying Orange has taught me that predicting what will be popular content is incredibly difficult.
In other words, there's no accounting for taste.

I'm not sure there's a lot of correlation between the two. It seems to have more to do with networks dynamics and timing than the quality of the video. Of course, those matter in any market, but YouTube seems to be particularly fickle--- hits are determined by whether you're one day early or late to a particular trend, by whether the first 5 people to see a submission to reddit voted it up or down, etc.

#5How is that what seems to me to be the worst content is constantly touted as "featured" content? Is this a reflection of what people are actually interested in or is there something else going on behind the scenes?

#6So, we work with these guys and I can tell you that right now this is definitely low in terms of an estimate of the money they are making.
In addition to what they make from ads, a lot of YouTubers will get paid to make videos that involve a product, etc. For some (most?) that is actually a larger source of income than the AdSense.
Also there are many many more than 10 YouTubers who are doing very well from their channel.

Lol...just watched one, its was funny. I think its more like we don't know what will make us laugh sometimes. I don't consider this bad taste, look at Napolean Dynamite, i really hated it but i have friends that loved it and it is now one of those cult movies. I would say that there is no accounting for the extremes of taste.
That being said i will not be tuning in to the annoying little orange again.

#8lesson: be very very cute and/or funny and/or creative -- ideally all three; now record yourself and post to YT; profit!
Re: People On YouTube Make A Lot Of Money
#9the amount of "niche" hilarious/awesome/interesting video on YT and other video sites is a huge factor (along with blogs and HN/Reddit-like sites) why I don't watch traditional TV anymore. It tends to be better, I'm not forced to watch ads, it tends to be edgier/uncensored, it's more personal and interactive, and it's also more asynchronous and on-demand, easier to time-shift, place-shift and device-shift to suit the moment.

#10I think it is telling that those are the most popular youtube channels. Hint : if you like watching people acting retarded or treating you as if you were retarded, then you probably are.
