I think they are maybe from her friends and family and she pretends she owns them for videos. It was only recenetly that a YouTuber I follow started to say that many of the Chanel bags she showed belonged to her mother and not her. She started to shop Hermes recently and was getting mini Kelly's and Birkin 25s and I was like.. whaaaa? Then she came clean and said it was all her mom's stuff. People who watch videos just believe what they see and don't even realize they are looking at fakes or loaners or bags that don't belong to the people showing them. Like you said - when it's too much to be real, it's probably not.
Which Youtuber was this?
 
In one recent video, Mink4all revealed that she didn't make much from Youtube. Most of the fund for her bags comes from savings. I know she doesn't do sponsorships so she probably doesn't make as much as Je Suis Lou but still, I think Lou is so fake. There is no way a 25 year old student could afford a house like that with lux everything from pillows to shoes to extremely expensive handbags and all the travels without support from anyone else. She can defend herself all she wants but I'm not gonna buy it. I was a Master's student with a fulltime job. I could barely afford a Neverfull back then. So many bills to pay for. There is just no way. I read about her in another forum and some people living in the same city as her confirmed there is no way a student could afford a lux life like that in Mexico. People need to stop lying and pretending they're super rich and it's all because of hard work. We all work hard but some are more fortunate to have wealthy parents, there's nothing wrong with it. Idon't know why they have to hide it and claim everything is earned by hard work :-s Someone even reported she bought followers so the numbers don't really reflect how much she actually makes. We don't know.

Also, I don't think she wears fake bags, but she hides things which is shady. In a video she shared she didn't do anything to her hair, that's how she saved up to buy a bag. But come on, how much is a bag? 9k usd? 12k? how many salon visits does she need to give up to make up for the bags? not to mention how often she buys her bags, shoes, random lux stuff... and everything she buys is the most high-end (classic flaps, birkin, kelly... not cheap at all). How many people making 6 figures here can actually buy some of those bags a year at her rate? She's just a student! It does not make sense at all.
I didn't see minksforall's video, but I honestly wouldn't buy her saying she doesn't make very much, especially with her follower count. I have a friend who does YT as a hobby and he's got just around 4,000 subs, averaging 2k-5k views a video and he makes upwards of $300+/month from just that. I was really surprised to find out he made that much as such a small channel, but extrapolating from there, you can make a LOT on YouTube.

Exactly. If there is no monetary incentive, must of these youtubers would have quit a long time ago. $xxx /month + memberships + sponsorships + affiliate links + free products (ie farfetch) adds up a lot over time. Also keep in mind that luxury youtubers should be making more because the topics are higher value - the $x/view should be higher.

i watched that Minks Q&A video and my jaw dropped when she said that “she doesn’t really make any money from YouTube” because there is just NO way it’s true. Personally I have a channel with a little under 2k subscribers and get under 1k views on each video, and I get a little over $100/month from google Adsense. Which is peanuts lol, but Minks regularly gets ~30k views on each new video - do the math, it’s still a decent amount for a fun side hobby. Still wouldn’t be enough to cover all of her purchases, but I was shocked to hear her say she makes nothing lol.
 
I’m no authenticator but wow, this video does point out that the diamond quilts do not look even. I thought she bought that bag from Redeluxe?! If so, are they selling fakes?

Not that I'm a fan of Je suis lou (I'm not) but that comparison is not right. The bag Lou's is being compared to is a medium classic flap (you can see 8 diamonds, if I'm not mistaken). Lou's bag is a small (with 7 diamonds). I have seen authentic caramel smalls on IG that have that exact same look on the edge of the bag with the diamond quilts as Lou's. Lou's may well be fake, but the comparison is flawed to begin with
 
An influencer I follow who is not really that popular “highlowluxxe” has been very honest about how much she makes. She made over $1M last year. These influencers sign month long deals with brands to promote their products and make $$$.

Oh wow! That's significant, she's not even at 150K. Good for her!

It's sorta crazy this new age of promotion, push of an army of products. Sorta off topic but I wonder when this bubble will burst? I am super turned off with "gifted" items in return for highly positive reviews. I also filter my Sephora reviews to only look at verified purchases.

This makes total sense. Shay whitney who has a million subscribers has purchased an air plane, had her husband retire to work for her, hired an editor to edit her videos and quit her full time government job, while her chanel is doing very very very well. I'm guessing that Shay can basically quit youtube and retire. If anyone can get a sliver of that, I say good for them. That's why people with less followers like Maria draganova can do this for a living and buy all the bags they do at a quarter of the followers.

I really don’t know how she gets all that money LOL but I’ve seen some Youtubers buying their own car and houses and all they do is create content online, I guess they are earning that much to do that :eek: It’s the same for me hun, I have a corporate job and on a managerial level but I don’t have all that money to buy a classic flap every month… maybe I can stomach to buy just 5 classic flaps a year and that’s it:giggle:

I just hope she’s not reviewing fake items cause that would be disappointing

I think a lot of new influencers will stop once they realize those gifts are taxed. In the US, you have to pay taxes for any gifts you receive from a company that’s worth $50+.

Shae does A LOT of sponsored videos and she has so many affiliated links. So it makes sense.

I found this online. I am sure it's not 100% accurate but Minnie doesn't do sponsorships and doesn't make money from freebies or affiliated links. I think what she said may be true. She seems to be an honest person and always upfront about everything.

Minks does use affiliate links, though. All her video descriptions have several, and she has that disclaimer stating that some links are affiliate.

As for social blade, I didn't know this until my friend started YouTube, but apparently it's wildly inaccurate. I asked him, and his stats last year were predicting something like $1000-ish for the year, and he made three times that. And like someone else said, luxury channels often have higher paying ads, because they're advertising more expensive products.
