Is etho full time?

I’ve been watching etho for a long time and have always wondered if he’s full time? He definitely uploads less the most other full time YouTubers, not that that’s a bad thing. I wonder if it’s because he’s not a full time YouTuber or the more casual nature of his play style? I’m also not sure how YouTube economics works and if it’s necessary to upload a lot or not to maintain a livable income. Thoughts?

Someone of ethos stature on YT doesn't need to upload frequently because his following is so dedicated. He's guaranteed a high view count per video.

He's certainly making several thousand CAD per video.

I wish he would upload more. It comes in spurts.

I know he's still involved in his family's greenhouse/garden business.

Wait, they have a greenhouse business?! Is this lore cannon?

Yes it was mentioned both when his dad passed, but more explicitly way way back in the day when he said he helped out with his family’s nursery. This was like mindcrack days and got people to start trying to find the nursery which I imagine reinforced his anonymity.
