    Apparently there’s a material reason for the length of these videos … According to Spiffing Brit, a good chunk of a YouTuber’s monetization income comes from YouTube premium subscribers, and the algorithm works out (at least as it was 9 months ago) in such a way that, the longer a video is, the more money one gets from the share premium subscription fees.

      they have 11k patrons on patreon. They dont make visible the dollar amount the make a month (which is weird???) but we can safely assume they are making at least $11k a month outside of youtube im sure they could release more frequent, shorter, videos lol

          We do have to consider that they have employees now (well Contra does, don't know about Philosophy Tube). I think hbombguy has a shitload of patrons as well too. The only patreons ive ever subscribed to were Chapo and Jim Sterling and both of theirs are public. (holy fuck chapo makes 160k a month on patreon still :awooga:)

          i need to become a breadtuber theres too much dosh floating around

            for what is worth, chapo is transparent about their finance, pay their collaborators fairly and also pay their featured guests, even if will menaker threw a hissy fit about chris wade's compensation that one time, i wouldn't feel thaaat bad about giving them money on patreon. I only support hazel, that dude who's making his own branch of mupen64 and melt banana, for some reason.

            philosophy tube pays her actors, camera operator, and has set fees i guess. not sure what her writing/editing situation is regularly.

              I think co operative systems often work as well if not better as long as you have someone who's job it is to tell people to stope discussing and do the thing.

              That said I mostly know theatre work.
