I imagine he would be a really good employee and I would be shocked if he didn’t leave his previous jobs on good terms. Bonnie and Joel would be fine without YouTube because they still live pretty modestly (especially in comparison to other youtubers) and I’m sure they have completely paid off their house and cars by now. I am surprised Joel hasn’t started a business of some sort by now though.

Unlike her sisters, Bonnie still has a largely mom-based audience, and so if her channel can't be monetized again, she could still make a good wage by starting a Patreon account. They have maintained their same lifestyle and should be able to live with far less than they were making with YT, but still being in far more with Patreon and vlogging than they ever did before YT. If 1700 people paid $5 a month to watch Bonnie's videos/engage with her in a private FB group, then they could easily still bring in over $100k a year. Joel could then get to work on whatever business he's been dreaming of in the meantime for when interest does eventually wain.
I think B&J will be fine because they didn't develop unrealistic expectations about how long the gravy train would last in the first place.
