I’ve seen YouTubers that just make videos and stream as a full time “job” and scantily dressed women who use instagram/other as their sole source of income. I have a basic understanding of ads and sponsorships I guess, it just seems crazy that so many 20 somethings can just take photos or make videos and somehow that pays the bills (and then some?).

The majority are poseurs who live off Mummy and Daddy’s money with the illusion of independence
It’s a matter of “volume”, the more viewers and subscribers they have, the more likely they are to get donations. 1 million subscribers, donating $1, makes $1 million dollars, basically.
Of course, there’s A LOT of competition and the majority of them don’t have that many subscribers. Those who do usually find it a full time job to keep delivering popular content and to keep advertising so that they get more subscribers. Making a quality video isn’t just a matter of sitting down in front of the camera and “rolling”, you have to be somewhat good at acting a script, and more importantly the editing of the raw footage takes quite a bit of effort and time.
