Destiny reveals he pays his editor 45% of his revenue
In a recent stream, Destiny opened up about his employees and how much he pays his YouTube editor. Speaking to a fan named Devin, he was asked about having shared his revenue shares.
Destiny then revealed that he had given his YouTube editor part of his revenue shares a few years ago. He said: “In some ways, it was probably a mistake to do that, but it’s fine I guess. Like, the way that I view it is like, if my stuff grows, I’m still okay with my employees growing with it, but yeah.”
“That implies to me that it’s a fairly high rate share,” Devin said.
