Gem Mint stated he works for the electric company for fifteen years and makes decent money. That said, he has tended to sell portion of what he collects at gains such as older comic books. So there's a churn to what he collects rather than adding on and on. His YouTube channel also funds a lot of the hobby and he is gifted statues by companies.
It is hard to say other people's finances. How much debt they have, how much they put aside for retirement, etc.

Like many YouTuber's, he has algorithms to satisfy, which require regular content. It must become a chore after a while.
Some statue/figure YouTubers will upload anything even when there is no statue to review or live chat to be had or room to tour

Thank you Aug, I didn't see any of that so I was curious. I will say people that work for electric companies make really good money...I use to do the payroll.

It seems to work, though. Subs on my channel are pretty stagnant at just over 11,000, probably because I don’t do filler videos. I only upload content when I receive something new or there’s an issue in the hobby that I want to address.

If I received this, I'd be returning it.
I am waiting for an Elizabeth Olsen Scarlet Witch so I don't have to worry about it.

Yep, she pretty much ruined a comic-based piece for me.

I actually appreciate that about your channel. I watch your videos knowing I’ll get an honest review or some important information like with the Elektra PF lean.

nearmint is probably the only YouTuber I am subscribed to that I can trust to be honest and objective about his reviews. The constant filler videos everyone else puts out these days is just tiring and, quite frankly, annoying to me.
