Content creators can earn income from Google directly through their AdSense program, which provides advertising revenue. He managed to flourish despite the website being highly competitive, with it having essentially the largest online video library featuring clips, documentaries, music videos, films, trailers, video blogs (vlogs), and many more.

He also bought luxury cars, sneakers, and more which he showcased through videos.
