I'm slightly curious how this individual can afford to destroy multiple $600 phones. Will he make that back from 400,000 views?

He'll get the phones replaced under warranty.

If he's partnered, he could get around $2 CPM, so around $800 if the videos at 400,000 views.

Interesting. And looking at his previous video (the one that went viral) it got 40m views. So he could potentially have made $80,000 from that?
