Taylor doesn't realize that a lot of his subs don't necessarily watch because its drifting. I and a lot of others watch because he makes us excited and driven to work on our own cars. I don't have a drift car and never will. I own a 30yr old toyota hilux. If you make great content people will watch it. Taylor makes consistent great content.

Great insight guys. Taylor, don’t underestimate what people want to see you do. I haven’t drifted in 10years and don’t intend to ever really get into it again, but I follow your channel because you build cars well and are personable. I think lots of people would want to see you build an LS 240. But they’d want to see it done in YOUR way (i.e cheaply, but properly). It’s great to see stuff like Adams channel get huge, but he’s unrelateable to me now. Your thought process and doing things yourself is much more inline with your core audience I think and that will keep you successful. Best of luck!

Building things to be reliable, cheap, but reliable and functional.(because if its done right the first time, you won't have to pay for it again when you fix it) Also, building things him self! If it saves $200 to build your own exhaust or whatever, he does it because if you can, you should lol! He's also an extremely talented driver, with years of knowledge on driver input and suspension set ups. Keep killin it brother!

So some quick maths if hes working 12 hours a day that's around 336 hours a month and if millions views is worth $5k and he gets a million views a month we can guess he make around $5k a month seems about right. So that breaks down to around $14 an hour. Which just further shows how much work he and most other successful people put in to be where they are. I feel like alot of people look up to these bigger guys and wish they could be like that but dont wana put the time into it whether its KZitem or working 2 jobs.

That's not exactly how it works and he has patreon so he gets more than ad revenue anyways.. my daughter got $7,200 for a 1 million view video once and it's a tiny kids channel that normally gets 3000 views a video.. it depends on your CPN and how long people watch the video too if they don't watch all the ads or if it's a short video you get less.. so you could technically get between 4-7 k depending on all of the factors.. but I assure you with ad rev and patreon he's making much more than five grand a month
