I am a native English-speaker - and when I first listened to an AvE video, I wondered "What the ?!!?" - but I was quite amazed that, despite the fact he was using words and phrases that I had never encountered before, I understood exactly what he was saying, right from the get-go.
It was a bizarre feeling.
AvE would have no trouble getting along in my area, he's easy to understand, with or without beer assistance
Come on guys, once the 'Gentlemen, welcome back to the shop, yibetty dar dar goo goo...' = did he say/mean/imply/insult/profanity/ introduction is over, he's straight into it = WYSIWYG
And seriously, I don't believe he expects everyone to keep their d!ck in a vice/vise till the next AvE shop session gets uploaded on Youtube
...especially the lady viewers, unless he has a new product review in the works so they don't feel excluded...

I'd think that the words and phrases being immediately understandable is the reason they came to be in the first place, they just seemed right
on a related note, it keeps surprising me that is seems it Americans have the most trouble understanding English with a
accent or dialect

I'd seen enough Ricky in Trailer Park Boys before I ever watched AvE to be able to understand him immediately.
As Dave points out, AvE's style is a matter of choice. Whose consequences he has to face. Seems to be the case with every major youtuber.

The word "snowflake" has been invoked. This discussion is a blond c*** hair short of approaching Godwin's law.
Could be even worse. He could have his channel shut down permanently. We don't want that. Do we?
It suprises me how people try to maintain their moral high ground, despite the numbers indicating something different. AvE’s channel is massively more popular than the Mr. Carlson’s Lab.
I don’t think AvE’s channel has been hit by strikes eiter, as opposed to many other channels that could be considered more PC.
People just need to accept a large portion of the world doesn’t take things as serious as they do and that other people prefer content over form. Youtube is popular because it offers content different from the sanitized and polished regular television shows. People flock to Youtube because they find people, channels and content that reflect their interests, rather than generic content that caters to the lowest common denominator. Trying to make it into an internet version of regular television will simply kill Youtube dead.
It’s obvious AvE’s channel isn’t for everyone. That’s okay. Accept it and move on. The world is a better place if we don’t try to make it all agree with our personal views and nothing else.
I don't think AvE is depending on the income of his channel. So far everything he has said and done is tailored towards being free to do and say what he wants, rather than pleasing the public or sponsors. Sponsored goods or corporate gifts are not accepted, people are discouraged from seeing ads and at times people are even encouraged to unsubscribe. Other Youtubers that do obviously sponsored bits are called out and as far as I'm able to tell he still has a day job that pays his bills.
This is different from many Youtubers that partially or fully depend on the income or associated sponsoring.
Unless it's all one big act to look sincere it seems AvE is not in it to make a living, despite the earnings probably being substantial.
He's earning at least $400,000 a year from Youtube and Patreon combined. I'm sure that's a lot more than he's earning in any day job.
I don't think so. Like it or not I don't think there is any doubt were the majority of his income comes from, it's Patreon and Youtube.
It's easy to know almost exactly how much he earns as a minimum. He has 13,245 Patron on at least $2 a month, that's at least $317,880 a year just from Patreon alone. Probably $400k with some $5 backers.
Interesting (but predictable) how his original video got a lot of mainstream attention and subsequently a lot of new viewers and copped a lot of flack for his "crude shop talk" a.k.a foul language. And how he had to address this and tone it down in the 2nd video.
The age old problem if building an audience based on a certain style of video and language vs more "mainstream friendly" content.
I'm just saying that having means to support yourself and your family without your Youtube channel makes for a different dynamic than when the future of you and your family becomes uncertain when that happens. There's earning a lot of money and there's losing your house when you don't.
I think he's nuts if he's still working 9-5, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I'm pretty sure he is not doing 9-5, more like consulting when needed. Hard to tell how much of his time it actually consumes.
