    semi-succesful

    18 Million subscribers, Billions of views, has had Kobe Bryant and the US president as guests on his channel. If that’s “semi-succesful”, what on earth is your yard-stick for successful?

    I don’t always agree with his takes, but I honestly can’t think of a better or better-known tech reviewer.

      I mean, Linus Tech Tips exist. So do Jay-Z 2 cents. There are plenty of other successful tech YouTubers.

      I dunno. My local doctor has saved plenty of lives.

      Consider him more of a success than someone who reviews overpriced phones on youtube.

      Suppose how you define success depends on what you think’s important in life.

        A famous YouTuber is not going to be successful at saving lives, but is extraordinarily successful at being a YouTuber.
