YouTuber reveals exactly how much he has made from 200 million views on the platform
A popular YouTuber has revealed how much money he made from the site after he gained 200 million views.
Garron, a popular creator from Ireland, is no stranger to saying how he really feels - so pulling back the curtain on his earnings comes as no surprise.
Why One Major Creator Walked Away From Donations
Garron had been watching a video by Charlie, also known online as MoistCr1TiKaL, who announced he was switching off all direct financial support from fans.
Charlie explained: "I'm explaining why I'm disabling any and all means of people having the ability to donate money to me. No more super chats, no more YouTube memberships for all intents and purposes. No more bits on Twitch."
He added: "I would much rather you keep your money. Use it for yourself or use it for things you deem important, whether it's charitable causes or what have you. But just stop forking it over to me."
Garron admitted he’d never even turned on YouTube memberships himself — joking that it was definitely not because he didn’t know how they worked.
But what really grabbed his attention wasn’t the moral stance. It was the money.
How Much Did Charlie Make On Twitch?
First up: Twitch earnings.
In 2025 alone, Charlie pulled in $55,525.48 from streaming, clocking 614 hours of airtime. Garron immediately did the math, rounding up to 615 hours to account for the extra minutes.
That works out at roughly 90 per hour.
Not bad for playing games and talking to the internet.
But that was just one year.
Between 2019 and 2021, Charlie made $1.285 million from Twitch. Breaking that down hourly, Garron calculated it at 356 per hour — a hefty jump.
Then came the big one.
From 2021 to 2025, Charlie made $4.1 million on Twitch. That works out to around 692 per hour.
Garron acknowledged the grind behind it, noting Charlie streams eight to 10 hours a day. Still, nearly $700 an hour is enough to make anyone rethink their career choices.
The $36 Million YouTube Bombshell
Then came the number that made Garron sit up straight.
Charlie revealed he had earned $36 million from YouTube since joining the platform in 2007.
Memberships alone were bringing in $560,000.
For Garron, that was the moment it all became real. When you’re sitting on tens of millions, switching off donations probably feels like the right time.
Garron’s Own YouTube Stats Revealed
After running the numbers on one of YouTube’s biggest earners, Garron decided it was only fair to show his own receipts.
According to SocialBlade, he currently has:
- 480,000 subscribers
- 191 million total views
- 678 uploaded videos
- 14 million views in the last 30 days
16,000 new subscribers in the past month
Estimated monthly earnings range from 3.6K to 58K, with yearly projections between 40,000 and 647,000. Garron pointed out how wildly different those figures are, stressing they’re just rough estimates.
So what’s the real number?
How Much Has Garron Actually Made?
Pulling up his lifetime analytics, Garron revealed that since starting his channel in March 2021, he has earned €32,811.58 in total.
He also disclosed that €24,000 of that has been made this year alone — meaning the vast majority of his income has come recently.
There’s one big catch, though.
Most of his 200 million views come from YouTube Shorts — and according to him, they barely pay.
He claimed he earns about 46 cent per Short, and many get demonetized because of his frequent swearing. Occasionally, a Short might earn 12 or 13 euro, but overall, the revenue is minimal.
Longer videos perform better financially, but Shorts dominate his view count.
From €1,400 A Month To YouTube Income
To put it in perspective, Garron compared his YouTube earnings to his previous jobs.
In his first job, he earned 1,400 per month.
His second job paid 1,900 per month, sometimes going over 2,000 with commission. Back in 2018, breaking the €2,000 mark made him feel like he’d “made it.”
At the time, he was paying €620 per month for a room in Galway. After rent, he’d have around €1,500 left — and he felt on top of the world.
Now, a single strong YouTube month can match or exceed what once felt like serious money.
Garron described his YouTube income as feeling like “free money,” explaining that even €200 would have thrilled him.
While €32,811.58 is nowhere near $36 million, the growth this year suggests his channel is heading in the right direction.
