A popular YouTuber has revealed how much money he makes on his platform, which has racked up 200 million views in total.
Garron, who is a content creator from Ireland, explained how he had been watching another video from a creator called Charlie - known as MoistCr1TiKaL - who had decided to stop receiving financial support from followers.
"I'm explaining why I'm disabling any and all means of people having the ability to donate money to me. No more super chats, no more YouTube memberships for all intents and purposes. No more bits on Twitch," said Charlie in a video.
"I would much rather you keep your money. Use it for yourself or use it for things you deem important, whether it's charitable causes or what have you. But just stop forking it over to me."

The video from Charlie had prompted Garron to take a look at his own earnings, before revealing the breakdown to his fans.
Garron explained that since he began his channel back in 2021, he's made €32,811.58 ($38,780) with €24,000 ($28,365) of that figure earned this year alone.
With 200 million views on the platform, most of the money comes from his YouTube shorts, however, Garron explained that these don't earn much at all.
Apparently, each short earns around 46 cent, or occasionally they can earn as much as €13.
However, Garron explained that due to swearing, many of them get demonetised.
"I think it's amazing, I look at this like free money, even if it was €200, I'd be thrilled with that," said Garron.
"I'm proud of every f**king penny of it.
"The first job I had I was earning €1,400 a month and I thought I was a very rich man.
"My second job I was earning €1,900 a month and I used to get commission as well so sometimes it would go over €2,000 and when I made over €2,000 a month I felt like I was on top of the world.
"I was paying for a room in Galway and I was paying €620 a month so I'd pay that and with my €2,000 I'd have €1,500 left over.
"I'd go out and spend it on takeaways."
With Garron explaining that most of his total earnings have come from this year, it certainly seems as though his YouTube channel is heading in the right direction.
