And we're only in July, so this year is not complete. So much more monetization to harvest from the Ukraine-Russia event from these few channels. Please note the start dates for these channels, as many predate the Russian invasion, and some even before the Maidan. Motivating clicks is a part of the "game."
As to your comment about Blackrock, I offer the following:
"...a 2001 moratorium on the sale of land to foreigners had always represented an obstacle to unrestrained privatisation. As post-Maidan governments turned again to the IMF for financing, aid was conditioned on a series of land reforms that would finally allow foreign corporations to acquire vast tracts of the country's farmland. In 2020, Zelenskyy gave in to the IMF's demands and finally repealed the moratorium. 'Agribusiness interests and oligarchs will be the primary beneficiaries of such reform,' said Olena Borodina of the Ukrainian Rural Development Network. 'This will only further marginalise smallholder farmers and risks severing them from their most valuable resource.' But the World Bank could barely contain its excitement, gushing: 'This is, without exaggeration, a historic event.' Even though the new law isn't set to come into force until next year, US and Western European agrobusinesses have already bought up millions of hectares of Ukraine's farmland — with 10 private companies reportedly controlling most of it."

Make of the above as you will, but it is assured that this particular daily thread promotes pro-Zelensky government materials as if detailed "news" of the war between two non-NATO nations at war.
Count the channels mentioned above. Very few individuals are likely profiting -- some wildly -- through, in part, from the daily promotional thread on Free Republic.
To be somewhat balanced, some of the anti-Z YouTube videos touted in other Free Republic threads as "news" are also monetized. None of them, to my looking around, approach the sheer volume and scope of these.
As to the above, please check for yourself if you've questions.

Other sites offer some similar examinations. Thanks for posing valid questions.
More successful channels make more money. That is how capitalism and free markets work.
Why make a big deal out of it?

Thank you for posting that. In addition from the link:
From certain perspectives, the war is clearly good for business: indeed, the greater the destruction, the greater the opportunities for reconstruction.At Davos this year, Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, said he hoped the initiative would turn the country into a “beacon of capitalism”.
David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs, also spoke cheerily of Ukraine’s post-war future. “There is no question,” he said, “that as you rebuild, there will be good economic incentives for real return and real investment.”
Currently, I believe that Ukraine also is burdened with:
- Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe OSCE
- Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD
. . . en-force-ful regulatory, socialist, bureaucratic "policy makers" who push for lower moral standards in their transactions.
