Youtubers as a Business

There isn't really a right answer. It exists as the answer that you're happy with, which can always change. I'm at a point now where I think I'm happy to argue with someone that being a youtuber is being a business owner. The bit that I would still question is where their transition is from a beginner to a business owner because obviously when people start their business, they're starting their business. And that's what you call it. They are starting their business when people started their YouTube channel. That you could argue that they are.
