1. If you try to make money on youtube with ads... good luck with that. Thats not the business model of most devs who teach on youtube.

2. Before your youtube channel becomes popular to get noticed in a good or bad way, it will probably take a long time. Teaching code, being good at coding and being popular on youtube are 3 skills that dont necessarily overlap.

3. If you do get noticed, the (financial) benefits of it far surpass any developer job. And usually it actually help you to get dev jobs anyway.

If YouTube devs aren’t using ads as a business model what is the financial benefit? Selling courses? Consulting? Books?

Some do it purely for the love and others for (directly or indirectly) promoting their paid courses.
