YouTube Latest News, Photos, and Videos

David Dobrik revealed something a little bit shocking – he doesn’t really make money from his YouTube channel.

The 24-year-old Dodgeball Thunderdome host shared a new interview that his videos don’t bring much of a profit.

“I don’t make any money on YouTube. I don’t get paid for the videos on my channel. They’re all demonetized and copyrighted by labels,” David told ET‘s Katie Krause. “I can tell you, my paycheck right now is under $800 which is very low to be able to produce those videos because there’s a lot of things I have to pay for.”

“It’s really low. It got cut after all the advertisers backed out, then they came back in but my type of videos, because I have swearing and stuff, weren’t really being paid for as much. I don’t make money on that,” he added.

David‘s YouTube channel boasts 18.2 million subscribers at the time of this posting, with almost eight billion views!

Jenna Marbles is saying goodbye to Youtube, for the unforeseeable future.

The content creator has been making videos on the platform for the past 10 years.

Jenna uploaded a new video on Thursday (June 25) explaining why she was stepping away, and apologizing for past offensive videos.

“I think I’m just going to move on from this channel for now. I don’t know if that’s forever, I don’t know how long it’s gonna be. I just want to make sure that the things that I put into the world are not hurting anyone. I’m just gonna stop for now, or forever, I don’t know,” Jenna said. “I’ll probably take this video down because it’s embarrassing and just let whatever, just live and just be. That’s it. I want to say thank you for your support for those of you that care about me and have been watching me for a long time. I appreciate it. I want to hold myself accountable and it’s painful to do it. I’m ashamed of things I’ve done and said in my past. I hope this felt like something that you needed to hear from me.”

“I’m not sure that I want to continue doing stuff on this channel, and I don’t want to put anything out in the world that’s going to hurt anybody,” she continued. “I need to be done with this channel for now, or forever, I don’t know.”

After Jenna posted her video, many fans and fellow YouTubers took to Twitter to share positive messages of support and sadness.

“I really strongly believe that we should be judged not by how we acted when we were ignorant, but how we responded when we were informed. By that measure, Jenna Marbles is head and shoulders beyond a great many YouTubers,” Hank Green posted.

“Jenna marbles leaving youtube feels like you’re going through a breakup and you’re devastated but you love them so much so you’re happy for them that they’re choosing their own happiness but ur still gonna cry everytime you think about your old times together because u love them,” Morgan Adams wrote.

James Charles is opening up about season one of his YouTube makeup competition series Instant Influencer!

In a recent video, the 21-year-old beauty YouTuber shared that the first season wasn’t as good as he hoped it would be.

“The show was amazing, we’re so proud of it, it was so entertaining. It obviously was such a positive thing for the community, for the artists involved and for us. Favorite thing that I’ve ever done in my entire life,” James said. “But in comparison to what we wanted to do for season one, the show was awful… the show wasn’t awful…”

“Basically, we had so many hopes and dreams for what we wanted the show to be for season one, but because it was a season one, we weren’t able to make a lot of those things happen,” he continued. “If you guys thought the show was good, it would have been 18 billion times better, had we been able to actually make those things happen.”

“But, those things are now happening for season two…” James teased. “We just weren’t able to make it happen because of season one, budgets, there’s a lot of things involved to making a show.”

The day after uploading his video, it was officially announced that Instant Influencer would be getting a second season.

“Soooo @YouTube made the announcement this morning but I thought I’d make it official too…#InstantInfluencer got picked up for SEASON TWO!! If y’all thought season ONE was good… just wait,” James wrote on Twitter.

Tana Mongeau has issued a lengthy apology to one of her former YouTube collaborators, Kahlen Barry.

The 21-year-old shared a series of tweets, starting with the apology for her past racist behavior and explaining why it took her longer to respond.

“first, I’d like to apologize to Kahlen directly for my silence, there are no excuses, I should have talked and listened to you. instead, I’ve been trying to find the words to address this and apologize in a way that that won’t further hurt anyone, and educate myself on how to handle this properly. i am so sorry that came with any silence,” she wrote.

“i am taking responsibility for all of my actions in the past, i know i am an adult. there are no excuses for my behavior, and i know that. i have done my BEST to educate myself, and grow as a person from who i was in the past,” Tana continued. “i want to be the best version of myself who continues to grow. but i know that just educating myself isn’t enough to truly grow, and i need to take accountability for my past actions, and address them in order to truly grow.”

The week before, Kahlen uploaded a YouTube video about her racist behavior and microaggressions, which you can see right here. He also since released another video in response to her apologetic tweets.

Tana is pictured here while out to dinner at celeb hotspot Catch with friends, including BFF Ashly Schwan (not pictured), on Monday night (June 22) in West Hollywood, Calif.
