How the heck do the YouTubers I watch sustain themselves on $330 / million? That seems really unsustainable when they only very rarely break 5 million.
That’s why they always tell you to SMASH that like and subscribe button
Hulkscriber SMASH!
Your name makes me thing of a giant sentient noodle flying through space and devouring the corpses of the innocent
flying spaghetti monster: yup, that’s me!
Ramen.
That means the drugs are working.
Sponsorship can easily get you a good 4 digit deal per video. Even for small-ish creators. 5 digits if you regularly get million plus views
Patreon is the other big one
Fun fact: yt premium views pay orders of magnitude more per view. In a world where a large percentage of viewers have premium, there would be almost no incentive for most small and medium sized channels to have sponsors in videos
yt premium views pay orders of magnitude more per view.
This is a large part of why YT Premium is a no brainer for me.
-
I support creators more without having to do anything myself more than just the same watching I would do anyway.
-
I don’t have to bother with ad blockers, I still do, but I don’t need to. I don’t have ads when watching from different places either like mobile or TV which are more difficult to block ads than just a browser extension.

It includes YouTube Music, so I don’t have to pay for music streaming separately. Was able to cancel my Spotify and save that money, which pays for the majority of YouTube Premium.
So for basically $3 more than I paid for Spotify, I get ad-free Youtube.
I actually had no idea that creators made more money from Premium views. It was already a sub I’m happy to pay for because of how it benefits ME, good to know they benefit as well.
Yeah I remember a couple years ago Linus Tech Tips did a breakdown of their income for transparency and education. That’s where I first had a creator directly mention that difference. It’s something like 5x the revenue per view.

In addition to what others have said, the value per million views changes depending on how profitable your audience is. Education is notoriously low, something like makeup is much higher.
Marketable=monies. Can’t easily market education, which removes avenue A. That’s why there are only like 4 advertisers for education channels.
That is so interesting
they have brand deals, promotions, sponsors and patreon. a asian ones i used to followed had to use these to stay alive they barely make 2million views per video. youtube does all sorts of stuff to your algorithim which can exclude you from reach other peoples feeds or not all. the big ones certain are using these+ they are already wealthy and expands to have thier own company which contributes more.
some are quite small and only upload occasionally and dont sustain themselves on youtube at all, mostly the ones about sciences as many of them are burgeoning scientists, going to school,etc.
A lot of content creators post on multiple platforms as well, other than PH that is.
Sponsors will pay 5 figures for a 30-second promotional segment of the video.
Nebula, Patreon, merch…
Not everyone earns the same amount of money per view. If you’re making niche content for more wealthy individuals, you’ll get more per view, from what I recall
Didn’t you read the article? They cross post their videos to pornhub.
They sell their bath water
ad revenue
They censor her name from the post, but not the screenshots?
I have never understood this impulse to censor content which is publicly available. Like she wrote that and put it on the internet under her name, presumably she’s all right about people knowing about it.
It’s LinkedIn, they aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed
Tries to obfuscate the name of the content creator who would literally profit from more people being able to find her. Nice.
I’m not jorking it. I’m studying, bro

You can do both! Learn how to dual-weild
Does anyone think there is a PornHub market for a fully dressed old lady who paints Warhammer?
Might need to take your socks off
Just get a banger microphone and whisper while you paint. Throw in some sexual ennuendos here and there.
“Oh stay still like a good little boy while I get you ready.”
“Hmm you’re all wet here (with paint). Not sure if it’s ready for more.”
👀🤣
Yes
If you want to do it in an entertaining or educative way, someone will probably like watching it. Most channels never pay back the cam. But if it’s a hobby you like doing, that’s fine.
You never know if you don’t try. What do you have to lose?
Depends on what she draws.
Still making 10x more on youtube, $32.81 vs $333.54
Wait. STEM vids on PornHub?
Semen, titties, erections and mathematics!
Rules to live by
Yeah, hot teachers are pretty much a mainstream fetish. And some students probably come for porn but stay for the lessons.
I’ve seen this reposted for years now.
Honestly, if anyone were to compete with YouTube and not be trying to rub their fanny all over the government for good boy points…
I’m pretty sure that’s why it’s illegal in red states.
Shit maybe that’s what all these data centers are actually for. Make a billion fake ai Instagram people and flood the US Internet to help shape the narrative. You’d obviously want to funnel views toward your buddies and away from anything unpredictable.
I really think the data centers are to power the already installed surveillence tools like Flock and web trackers/personal device telemetry, but that certainly could be a part of it.
True that. Also, all metadata on all Americans for the past twenty years.
Honestly, a year of ice leading up to the elections with full AI™️
Good thing they covered her name at the top, wouldn’t want to have it in too many places on the image…
I mean, yes YouTube is greedy, but a big part of that is pronhub allowing very predatory ads, from scams and chatbots and straight up malware companies, who are willing to pay more
YouTube absolutely shows ads that are predatory, scams, malware, and chatbot adjacent… literally the only difference is whether an erect dick is visible and tbh I’m not fully convinced YT hasn’t let porn ads through.
Wasn’t there like straight up Minecraft character porn on YouTube? For like, a not insignificant amount of time.
Most ads I see on YouTube are like meal prep companies, IT services and random brands.
and Ofc they are owned by a private equity firm. (i mean by design this type of company is supposed to make a company very valuable and sell it off)
pornhub.com is probably on every ban list since it has been in existence. She’s missing a lot of her intended audience.
She’s on YouTube, too.
That’s why she also puts them on YouTube.
The HS I went to went completely different route.
Online games? Blocked.
Social media? Blocked.
Forums like stack exchange? Blocked.
Wireguard? Admin noticed me heavily using it, blocked.
Porn? Absolutely available.
I see no ads on pornhub.
Her ads are up here…
32k PH views vs. 981k YT views.
Rough math on that is 32 dollars vs. ~339 dollars. So uhh… okay.
I mean, that’s besides the point. Most people go to porn hub for less mathsy videos. Plus, it’s extra money for just putting the already made video there
By all means, go get that paycheck, that asterisk is doing some seriously heavy lifting though.
Ah yes … the Ticketmaster marketing platform … get other people to create, maintain and pay for the venue, become the middle man and make audiences pay you to see the performers.
Wasn’t it $1,100 from YouTube like a decade ago?
It varies depending on the type of content, where your viewers reside, etc.
