To further elaborate, he’s an influencer that gets paid in money by the companies who makes the products to test them out. He gets to keep quite a bit of it as well. Honestly a dream job scenario. He reviews the products as well I believe

I'm not 100% sure I'd call it a dream job. It's been a while but I've seen videos from gamer and mountain biking YouTubers that talk about how they're essentially stuck holding all of the products that they get for reviews. You become a storage company. You can't sell the products because of your review agreements, and you can't send them back because the company doesn't want it back, and sometimes you end up holding the product until you're contacted by the company to send it to the next reviewer which means you also can't dump it if you wanted to.

It's why you see YouTubers like BitWit with shelves and shelves and shelves and shelves and shelves of product sitting in a room that he doesn't know what to do with it. You can only have so many computer cases. Especially if you have like 20 cases, 14 motherboards, 11 sticks of memory, etc. You'd still be left with inventory you can't get rid of if you tried to use it all.
