Nah, not DanTDM. I watched a short doc on the guy though. His entire business is to get up in the morning, get everything ready and start recording his gameplay. Then does all his video edits and gets it uploaded. He does a new video every single day and he makes bank from it. I saw at Christmas time that Chapters and some other bookstores were featuring a book he wrote -- since he cannot use "Minecraft" as part of the book he got around it by using the character he created, "Dr. Trayaurus".

His Wiki entry is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Middleton

I don't play games myself. But I know this stuff because I filter what my kid watches and how much time he is allowed to do it. There's more to life than sitting in front of a computer or the TV all day -- and some kids (and adults) live in front of it. I guess it's easy to do.

But these guys embraced an opportunity that others never saw, and turned it into a very lucrative career. You have to give them props for that.
