I suspect he's doing fine. Millionaire? Well, of course not, but he is sort of niche.

But he also sells kits and I suspect that's been very useful to his paying for his ISP. I know I bought his 6502 kit. ;-)

I think the smart "content creators" figure out a way to sell plans, etc. in order to take in a little on the side. (Patreon, in my mind, is the worst way to do that.)

I mean if he works for a FAANG there’s a good chance he is a millionaire, but not from his YouTube.
