I think that many artists are now making money through Youtube. They are making enough money because they have many subscribers and they generate a lots of watching hours as well due to the fact that they have professional videos on their channel.

Do you know does sites we download songs and movies are not actually legal sites? Lets take movies for example, they make money when the movies are played in theaters and people buy tickets and all that to watch it. That's why you see its pretty hard for clear versions of new movies to come out for downloads on the site.

YouTube, TikTok and other social media accounts pay them. They also get invited to events and some of them are used to promote products and adverts.

I have never heard of someone earning loyalty, but I think that some people do earn monetisation revenue when they upload videos. They do need to become popular for that and upload High Quality videos for that.

Youtube pays peanuts compared to the lifestyle of these artists. I think it is more from live shows than youtube.
