How do the big YouTube channels afford to do the off road thing? Sponsored?

How do the big YouTube channels afford to do the off road thing? Sponsored?

LiteBrite, one of the popular ones, indicated about a year ago that they made around $7k/mo just from YouTube monetization. At the time they were technically homeless and just had a tow rig, trailer, and toys. Since then they've bought a bunch more stuff, including an acreage in Utah and brought two more people onto their channel. No doubt they're also getting sponsorships and free parts.

So yeah, suffice it to say they're not funding it from a day job like a hobby.

I haven't followed the E3 stuff so I'm not up to speed with how well that's taken off but that would be another revenue stream.

Big youtubers all have sponsors, be it monster energy drinks or Eaton lockers. The more viewers you get the more sponsors you will get.

I saw that, I wonder what happened - maybe just burnout. Too bad since he's one of the better ones.

I enjoy his channel as well and seems a little odd, as he just recently quit his day job to do Youtube full time.

Also a nice guy, met him at Reiter ORV last summer, he and Kelly stopped filming for an hour and helped us get a guy out of trouble...

I skimmed the comments and didn't see anything explaining it.
