Sites like social blade are estimations. There are many factors when determining Youtube money Just google is "Social Blade Money accurate" and see for yourself. Think for yourself and don't believe one hater (with a history of hating on other more successful youtubers) with wrong and jealous intentions. I focus on making videos about my friends and Vietnamese people all over the world and my life. Use logic and make your own decision based off of how many great videos, all the people i've helped, , and inspired to visit their motherland through videos I've produced and the hundreds of good people I've featured on my channel and not some false accusations.
When people are jealous of you, they can find a million reasons to hate on you from a single word to your years of work. Don't be fooled by slander, lies, and exaggerations about Kyle Le and Yevato from people with agendas to grow their own channel. The depth, quality, and quantity of our current videos should paint a picture of who we are, not rumors and attempted hit pieces from people who never met us or don't even know us personally. It's easy to hate when you don't understand the whole picture and use only your own narrow bitterness and resentment of people better than you because they worked harder to make more and better content than you.
Kyle Le's story
I graduated with a degree in history and moved to Vietnam to teach high-school history because I've always had a passion to teach, wanted to explore the motherland, and to share a global language to my people. I only had 1,000 dollars and a ton of student debt to my name when I moved over right after graduating university. Fortunately, I met my friend and room mate John of many years who first allowed me to stay in his kitchen for three months. When I worked more I was able to afford my own place (with other roommates) After a year I was ready to go home, but then I met Yevato OldBoy who gave me an opportunity to work more. Then, I started working 14-15 hour days 6-7 days a week- sometimes going without a day off for months. (Videos were filmed during holidays and vacations and released months later. I grinded hard for years to have a better life for myself and kept making YouTube videos to share my experiences. When more opportunities came through YT, I decided to lessen my teaching load to focus more on videos. Everything I do is for YouTube. From shoes to walk to film, to new cameras to make better videos, to investing in a quiet and safe place to live to edit videos. If you think around 1500USD (earnings vary every month depending on ad views) is enough for Vietnam, you're not wrong, but it's not enough to produce content from all over VN and Asia. And not enough for a stable life . Traveling is expensive, Travel for videos is even more expensive. Videos do not make themselves. This is why there has never been another YouTube channel as in-depth as this one about Vietnam and Viet Kieu featuring Vietnamese people from all over the world. This is a business and I'm investing myself and my money into it. I have nice things because I worked for them. Also, Patreon has been helpful to the growth and quality of videos. More money = more travel = more videos.
Many years ago my mechanic hit a young girl who ran out into the streets. It was not his fault nor was it my fault. I was saving up money to buy a better bike for myself and I was upset that I had to pay almost 1000 dollars for something I had nothing to do with. I still paid even though I was worried about getting scammed. There was no cover up. I blogged about it. If I wanted to hide it, why would I publicly post it? I also blogged about helping them and paying for her medical bills just a few posts later and why wasn't that mentioned in the hit piece against me?
I was a very angry and bitter person when I was younger. I always looked at the world as if it was against me. My jokes and satire were immature and at times distasteful. But I evolved and grew up and spending more time with OldBoy and his family allowed me to become a more positive person. It improved my videos, my networking, and my life. The 22-25 year old me is not the 27 year old me. Actions, words, jokes, comments in the past don't reflect the current me or my views on Vietnamese people or Vietnamese women. That video was taken down quickly after it was uploaded because I realized my immaturity. It is no longer online or on my channel Again, my early views and ignorance new to Vietnam do not reflect who I am today.
