Oleg Brain (TheBrainDit) belongs to the category of so-called let's players - people who film reviews of various games or simply gameplay with comments recorded along the way. Nowadays, quite a lot of bloggers are working in this direction, since the production of such content is not very time-consuming and does not require advanced shooting and editing skills. There are hundreds of similar channels in the Russian-language segment of Youtube alone.

And this did not stop him from acquiring 4.5 million subscribers and 1.4 billion total views of his videos in five years. How much does TheBrainDit earn on Youtube?

This is approximately $3 per 1000 views, which is seriously inflated for the Russian-speaking region and entertainment and gaming themes. The real figure is around $0.35/1000. That is, in the best case, TheBrainDit earns about 20 thousand dollars per month. And this is only from the affiliate program.
The channel owner squeezes income out of it in other ways. If you go into it official group VKontakte, you can see a list of services provided by him. There is direct advertising inside the video, and commenting on other people’s channels, adding a channel as a friend, links under the video and much more.

Scandals, intrigues, investigations with Oleg Brain
The winter of 2016 gave Oleg an unpleasant surprise. An unknown hacker hacked into his girlfriend’s email, citing the phrase “I was just curious,” and downloaded from there personal information blogger, including photographs from the international passport. Photos on documents rarely turn out well, but that’s not even the main thing. Many channel viewers were confused by Brain's weight.
Both on the screensaver and in the imagination of the audience, apparently many of them are girls, Oleg was a slender, fit young man from ladies' novels. A couple of dozen extra pounds of the blogger caused quite a stir on the Internet, a lot of censored and not so censored comments were published, and a couple of hundred aesthetically demanding fans unsubscribed from his channel. In the midst of this conflict, rumors spread that Brain began to complain about his fellow bloggers who were making reviews of this situation to the site administration. They subsequently received some warnings about penalties and other “repressions.”
The story ended with an explanation from Brain himself, who confirmed that the photo was his, he was not angry with anyone and was not going to complain. Moreover, he did not contact any support service and did not try to influence anyone. Oleg’s only request was not to use scanned copies of his documents in his reviews, since this, firstly, is prohibited by the rules of Youtube, and secondly, it is simply not ethical.
As a result, the blogger’s first appearance in the world was his arrival at the “Video Zhara”, which took place in Kyiv. There Oleg showed himself and met others, so now the conflict turned out to be meaningless and was safely forgotten about. However, many issues were also published on the Internet regarding the interview with him, but now they were mostly positive. Some popular video bloggers were amazed by Brain's modesty and calm character, expecting something more explosive and sharp from him.
