Usually his videos grab each about 10 million views. Yesterday he published his own inimitable response on Youtube to claims made by Swedish newspaper Expressen, which were then spread around the interent, that in 2014 alone he made over $7 million from advertising.
His “Lets Talk About Money” response has already grabbed over 1.650 million views in less than 24 hours, and in it he simply says: “People… thought it was unfair, ” adding “They thought I just sit on my ass all day and I just yell at the screen over here — which is true — but there’s so much more to it.” In other words he thinks he is worth it, and so, it seems, do his subscribers.
