According to a new study, while other streamers make the jump to new platforms, PewDiePie still reigns supreme on YouTube.
The study broke down all of the ways PewDiePie earns money, from merchandising to advertising, and crunched the numbers to find that not only does he outperform other YouTubers in both categories, he does so by a large margin.
First up, merchandise revenue. Purple Moon, the company that conducted the study, makes its estimates by taking the average number of views on YouTube per streamer and comparing it to the streamer’s merchandise costs. Aside from outliers, like a strange drawing of Sonic the Hedgehog, PewDiePie apparently has a lot of fans who like to like to show off their PewDie-Pride. The study estimates that, each month, PewDiePie takes home nearly $7 million dollars in merchandise sales.
