I'm a YouTuber in the IT field. Nearly 20 million views in all, 40,000 students on Udemy and 122,000 subscribers. Anecdotal, but I don't mess with Patreon, it doesn't work for me.

You are right about the sponsorships, ad's, affiliates and merch deals being where the money is for YouTubers.

Curious what is your yearly income?

I honestly can't release that. I have a full time software engineering job. I do pretty well for a 37 year old college dropout.
