The money does not fall from the sky, some other people make much more money out of these, games and youtubers just get a small part of it. It's like football or any other sport.

I believe it is fair because they still do have to work their butts off to get where they are and they get what they deserve. Just because someone may have went to school for 8 years for a different degree doesn’t meant they should make more.
