>how little her **first** paycheque was in relation to the numbers being discussed

She said something to the effect of
>out of the gross there was Youtube's cut, then Cover cut, then Uncle Sam and Oujisan Tanaka cut, then the advanced money used to make merch, what was left in the *first* paycheque was not much

Here is a more recent clip of Matsuri talking about how hectic things were for Gen 1 and Gen 2. She talks about how she made 100,000 yen per month (when she had 1000 to 10000 subs) and how Gen 2 didn't even have monetization for a long time.
