That's what I was going to say. When it comes to this subject, lots of people are just dumb.

I know someone whose father would call him up on Monday mornings for God's sake, and assume he had all the time in the world to chat. But Monday was the most stressful day for his home business.

He would sometimes call him in the middle of a crucial phone conference. It doesn't even occur to these people that they could be interrupting anything important. If he didn't answer because he was busy or on the phone, his dad would demand to know where he was!

Why?

I would never provide a link to an online business I owned to a bunch of strangers on a message board. You never know what kind of crazy person would use the information for crazy purposes.

I have my own business and I work 3-4 hours per day from home and make half the income for my family. Lots of people do. I'm not sure why you would doubt that someone else is doing it. So odd.
You missed the point. Someone claiming to make a real income from YouTube isn't likely, yet is so successful at it they still have a roommate?

Maybe they want to save money by splitting the rent and stuff with a roommate?

Maybe they're not quite in a position to get their own place yet?

Maybe they enjoy the company of a roommate and not wanting to live alone?

So in your opinion, you're either making an extremely good living as a YouTuber or you're not making any living at all? There's no middle ground?

They may give a review of a new game so others can see before they buy lot of these channels are about a game called battlefield. They get paid by the number of subscribers and views youtube pays them some are able to get enough to make lots of money in the 6 figure range but only the most popular youtube channels.

Here is an example

It's also a huge hit with kids. I have dated several single dads who have kids that will sit and watch people playing games and putting things together for hours...all on youtube.

I wallow in it. I'll post a pic of my "office" which is my outdoor patio table with a cup of coffee. Usually there will be a cat in each chair next to me. At 3pm I simply replace the coffee with a beer as it's now my time. If it bothers people oh well.
