There’s a 9 year old thread about wether speed cubing could be a career, which at the time was a no, but I’m wondering if the answer has changed since a decade ago?
What does jperm do for a job?Not now. But eventually. Currently, I'd say the only people that could make cubing their career would be Feliks, Max, and maybe someone like J Perm who has a big YouTube channel. But right now, Dylan isn't living off of YouTube, and none of the three are adults who have a family to take care of. Feliks and Dylan both have jobs outside of cubing, and Max is living with is parents

Agreed. Sponsors like Gan, Qiyi Moyu, The Cubicle, SCS also help.You could make it a career if you do YouTube or something but it might take a little while.
Isn’t he in college though? Making money on the side is a very different thing than having a cubing centered career. I agree there’s profits to be made thoughI mean, there are YouTubers making enough to live off of, I know for sure J Perm does YouTube as a job. I know these are the great exceptions, but the thread is about the possibility so,,, yeah it is a real possibility.

wether or not he is choosing to, the man gets a little under 1/2 a million channel views a day, so unless his cpm is terrible, he is making more then enough money to support a family, let alone himself. Wow. I just read this again, and I didn’t mean to come off as snarky as it sounded.Isn’t he in college though? Making money on the side is a very different thing than having a cubing centered career.

Not quite. He's averaging roughly 190,000 views a day according to Socialblad (5.7m over last 30 days). Cubing is going to have a very, very low cpm because of the subject matter. Even still, he's probably clearing $2-$3k a month just from the channel.wether or not he is choosing to, the man gets a little under 1/2 a million channel views a day, so unless his cpm is terrible, he is making more then enough money to support a family, let alone himself.

In India, speedcubing definitely is not a career.
I can see that happening in US and China. 100+ cubers turning pro and fully financed there.
