i always wonder how people find the time to generate the number of videos that they post, think of interesting topics, time to film, edit, post etc. According to www.socialblade.com SV Delos makes $11K - $175.9K per year (big range!); Mermaid Monster $406 - $6.5K; Tula's Endless Summer $1.7K...

Just to give an indication of how rough it can get there, Cyclone "Oma" just went by, but still 100's of miles away, and record 13m (40+ ft) waves were measured just off the coast where Dirona experienced her 69° roll :nonono:.
