Do Ifilm London, Ellie sechbach etc get paid?

How does it work with these guys? Sechbach in particular is a strange case as he'll upload videos in some random laundrette asking James toney stupid questions, is someone paying him to do this? Because he's about as legit as apollo James Jackson imo.

Like I say it just seems strange, Ifilm doesn't seem like a real company since they just shoot YouTube vids on a handycam yet they seem to get everywhere.
