i get curious about that: there are about couple dozen channels (mostly maker type stuff) i subscribe to on yt , most of which hit about 30k views per video and about 100-200k subscribers. so not superstars, yet many of those are full-time youtubers, somehow making a living from it. i guess the sponsorships / patreon / craft fair money must be how they make it work.

i frequently moan about my corporate job, but then i run the math on what it must be like to rely on youtube and... guess the cubicle ain't so bad

I guess it just seemed weirder when it's in the middle of an hour long black metal album. Yours seems more like it belongs in lighter folk metal


Me and smoka and sometimes Kormak would go back and forth posting music, usually metal and it would piss off the folks trying to read from their phones and/or using poo poo browsers. Smoka still posts random music but I've toned it down.

this dude did a video about it recently and says $1.40 per 1,000 views is average, but depends on a ton of factors that can cause it to vary by a lot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW0eUrUiyxo

but using his average figure of $1.40/1000, that 30k view/video is $42 bucks. they need to be putting out a whole lot of videos, have videos with a really long tail that keep getting watched years later, or have a decent chunk of patreon/etc.

that's illuminating, thank you!

it also explains why so many of the video creators have interstitial sponsored messages -- views themselves pay almost nothing. the uploader will narrate the ad themselves or highlight a product during the build, so it's not skippable in the traditional sense and probably pays much more. and honestly, it's not as intrusive as you might think if done properly. casper, audible.com, rockler, blue apron... i see those sponsoring a lot of the stuff i watch.
