That's the case with trying to make a living being any type of celebrity. For every small timer who manages to get by there are at least 1,000 who try and get nowhere, and there are probably at least 1,000 small timers for every A-list celebrity. These numbers might actually be orders of magnitude larger even depending on how you define success.

Based on my video from 6 months ago, approximately 15,000 channels have over 1,000,000 subs. Almost every one of those would be a full time Youtuber.
And over 150,000 channels have over 100,000 subs. Many of those would be full time, I'd guess at least a third of them.
So you could in the order of 50,000 full time Youtubers in the world. But yeah, that's a tiny fraction of those with channels who aspire to get there.

Things are very transient on the web and I wanted to archive a long page (about 100 posts - teehee) and failed. Print to PDF from Chrome outputted the top few posts and blanked out the rest down to the sites page footer in whitespace style. I moved over to Opera as it has option to Save to PDF (although this renders to a single WYSIWYG PDF page, so it may be end up 10cm by 1300cm PDF file, actually perfect in many ways, no pagebreaks, image rescaling etc)
Again the discourse website spewed out the top few posts. Move along to halfway the page. Spewed out that portion leaving the others blank. Same for the bottom. Another point subtracted for infinite scroll. At least with MyBB, phpBB, SMF and vBulletin paging I can go through all the pages and do a reliable PDF save.

Again, that's mistaking a poor implementation for a poor idea. It's easy to save dozen-page threads on Rennlist, going back to that example, because they specifically provide a way to do so.
