This statement was confirmed by recently published data from the Pew Research Center, which show that 81% of parents allow their children under the age of 11 to watch YouTube. As a result, content intended for children is becoming more popular and watched, and their authors – richer.

The third is a gamer jacksepticeye who earns about $ 1 million a month and has 24.7 million followers.
