Obviously it depends. But I don’t see evidence of it being as lucrative as people make it out to be. If anything, it’s an amazing platform to get famous on, and use it as a launching pad for other monetization. Can someone tell me I’m wrong? Feel like I am.

Edit: super famous (like Joe Rogan or Jake Paul) rake in the cash. I just mean the typical 10k subscribers channel

1 million views between $3500-$40,000 affording to https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-youtube-pays-for-views-100-thousand-million-150-2020-1?amp

      OP’s inability to think is highlighted right from the stupid question to stupider responses to the comments. Not wasting my time on this anymore. Adios.

      Hey visa - why don’t you provide actual evidence instead of being an a hole on the internet 😂.

      I get popular YouTubers make money. Allow me to clarify. My question is more so, exactly how much do they make?

    They make a lot but it's also hard to get there

  • It’s not the views, it’s the advertisers / sponsors, merch, Patreon…

      Right exactly. Which is indirectly from YouTube, but not paid out by YouTube

    Just from affiliate marketing? Your numbers are probably correct. But channels with like 50k subs make money off of by holding events, selling courses, and other stuff. This is especially the case for channels with topics that are not Youtube-friendly, like guns and fringe politics.
