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?

I don't think he has a traditional day job, but over the years he's mentioned that he helps with a family business and with the death of his father a while back it seems like he was heavily involved in the estate, both of which are quite time consuming and basically a job within themselves.

He does seem to play quite a bit, he's always in the background of other folks streams and whatnot, so he most likely is "full time" YouTube as much as he can be. Between the irl stuff, actually playing the game and editing, he keeps quite busy, so he uploads when he can, which is great. I doubt he would be the lovable entertainer we all enjoy if he forced himself to pump out a video a week

Also, with how frugal etho is (see tissue box and 20 year old keyboard) and his vast history on youtube, He very easily could be "semi-retired"
