The New York Times, by comparison, has just 9 million subscribers. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to MrBeast, who runs more than a dozen YouTube channels with an estimated 200 million aggregate subscribers—and now has his videos translated into Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, and Russian.

Yeah but the NYTs also has a newspaper and a website. It's not exactly an apple to apples comparison. But there is tons of money to be made in the creator economy, but the problem is the odds of success are so low, too. It's like a lottery. Boring white collar jobs have better, more consistent pay.
