But how much? There's a lot of guys making "Let's play" videos getting cirka 10,000 views per episode (the big guys have 50K but lots of people have 10K per video). How much money do they make? Can they live off of it?

A typical rate for ads run on streaming video is $3 per 1000 views per ~30s ad. So for 10K views and 1 video a day you'd be making a few thousand a year very optimistically. That is assuming an ad is shown every time, and with the economy being what it is that is not true, all ad slots are not filled and some viewers are from regions that never get ads.

I know Totalbiscuit is living on his videos, he gets 50-100k per video and several videos per day.

If you are doing what you love and have a lot of people watching it is worth it but otherwise these people work much harder for their money than someone doing a part time menial job.

Bummer.
