We all know that YouTube works with advertisers to make money from the millions of videos that its members post on their site every day. It’s the most watched site on the web, and right now it’s facing questions about whether that dominance will result in brand safety issues.
YouTube is reportedly investigating ad campaigns that include its ads alongside videos that depict objectionable content. Some of the problematic videos were from popular accounts, and videos that are capable of inciting violence or even terrorism have been demonetized.
Those brand safety issues have made YouTube the second-most used social media network in the world after Facebook, and it’s the largest video sharing site.
Below is a list of YouTube’s top creators who are paid to create sponsored videos. Some make millions of dollars a year to do what they love. Others, like YouTube auto host Stepheyms1, make thousands of dollars each year. (Best product to generate traffic)
The talent on the list works in different languages and regions, but a lot of their work is aimed at brands based in the U.S. They are listed by how much they’ve made, and they are categorized based on their genre and how much they’ve been paid over the past 12 months.
