Since I retired and things calmed down, I have spent hours and hours doing research on YouTube. Anything from chainsaws, to tractors, computers, musical equipment, etc.
Most of you probably knew about all of this that I'm gonna say, but I'm a little late to the game when it comes to Tech stuff. Anyway, I bet it would blow people away to know how many people (some of them complete flunkees) make a fine living from creating a channel on YouTube and uploading videos. Of course, they get paid for advertisers when they reach a certain number of views, and subscribers. Some of them make over a million a year from nothing but their videos. That is just wild to me.
Anyway, I just stumbled on another thing I'd never noticed until today and this one is even more curious. I was watching a very cool dot Indian dude that is a music producer and product reviewer of all kinds of recording software, computers, music production equipment, and so on. In one of his videos he starts to talk about his computer monitor, which is a freaking huge LG 34" monitor that sells for over a thousand bucks. He posted a link so people can read about/or purchase these monitors. What stood out to me is what happened when I clicked on the link. It links over to Amazon.com, their official website, however in the web address following Amazon.com, it spells out this dude's name in the web address, along with some gibberish numbers and what not.
From the looks of it, and maybe someone here will know, this dude is not only making bank on his videos but has some kind of agreement via Amazon to get paid by the LG corporation when someone orders that particular monitor from his supplied link.
Lastly, I'm starting to think the pandemic and subsequent labor shortage dilemma is partially because of people like this guy and thousands of others have figured out a way to make a living in this manner. Could be wrong, but about 29% of the time I am dead-on right.
Thank you for your time.
