Time: Anna Akana has called YouTube home for a long time. The 25-year-old comedian has been posting sketches and web series on the world’s largest video site for five years, amassing a following of more than 1.2 million fans. She earns about $4,000 per month on the site thanks to her popular videos. “You can’t make that good of a living off YouTube,” she said. “That also means you can’t reinvest a lot of that money into making more stuff.” This year, though, Akana has a new, potentially lucrative revenue stream. She was one of the first online personalities to sign up for Vessel, a new video site attempting to straddle the line between the TV-like original video content on Netflix and the user-generated free-for-all on YouTube.
