discuss YouTube channels and their domains are selling for millions

[News]

Enchufe.tv, one of the biggest YouTube channels in the Spanish-speaking world, announced last week that it had been sold in December. The sketch comedy channel has 19 million subscribers — more than Logan Paul and bigger than the YouTube presence of BuzzFeed. Its sale follows the acquisition of YouTube’s 13th most-viewed channel, Little Baby Bum, in July. And they may be just the beginning.

These acquisitions suggest there are more to come, says Ian Shepherd, chairman of the London-based Business of Influencers, an industry body. “I would expect to see more channel sales like this in the coming months,” Shepherd says. Buyers who are able to juggle the jobs required to run big channels are attracted by the guaranteed ad revenue from their huge, highly engaged audiences.

Has to do with the business, content and traffic, the domain name (assuming there even is an associated domain name) could be practically anything.

I agree, the channel content and subs are where 99% of the interest & value came from, not the domain.

Of course youtube channels are ever ending money streams... once popular almost popular all the time courtesy of subscribers

This is a content sale though it might still bring some publicity to the domain space. The value of the domain itself is negative. If Enchufe.TV had been registered when they were looking for an available name, they would have chosen another keyword. Is it not kind of strange that a comedy channel with millions of subscribers would brand themselves as LightSocket.TV ?
