The estimate of how much he makes is based on views, but given the majority of his videos are "reaction" videos to popular music they get auto-demonitized by the RIAA. By the time he is able to file a fair use claim and get the demonetization reversed the bulk of the views, which come in the first hours and days, have already hit. So he loses most of the money (youtube generally does not reimburse for those views unless you are a major creator).
The system is very over-balanced in favor of big media, because YouTube is terrified that the labels will sue or block YouTube from licensing their content at all.
There are a few youtube channels that go into details about how this happens and why. They show how they get views, what they would have been paid if their video hadn't been falsely taken down, etc.

This is the kind of thing my Nephew hope to achieve; and he's convinced he will. IMO, "YouTubing" is not guaranteed to make you any money, let alone millions.

I have over 8000 subscribers to my channel and I average between 100 and $200 a month from YouTube in ad revenue. But as was previously mentioned, that is about half of what I was getting before YouTube made changes to their ad placements two years ago.
One of the things I don’t like about YouTube is that if there is as little as a five second clip of copyrighted music, I will get no revenue from the entire video. A 15 minute video with five seconds of copyrighted music and no revenue. Does all of that revenue go to the owner of the copyrighted music?
The AI detection is only about 90% accurate. I have had videos demonetized that have had absolutely no copyright material in them. By the time you file the claim and ask for a manual review, you missed the big part of your revenue. Luckily I do not rely on YouTube as my sole source of income. I mainly make the videos because I enjoy it and want to teach the public a little bit about agriculture.
