Unless he gets millions of views on every video he releases he's not giving up much by not monetizing. This is why people like videogamedunkey eventually gave up trying to make fewer high quality videos and eventually jumped on the daily upload bandwagon because his merch game is weak compared to his peers like Mega64 etc. Very few people are getting rich with ad money. If you're big enough to make a living just through ads then you're big enough to sell out and make it REALLY big. It's like that old Chris Rock joke. Shaq is rich. The guy who signs Shaq's check is wealthy. FB/TW/IG are the only ones geting rich via ads.
