Nah, if you're buying ads the CPM cost is between $4-$10. That's per 1000 impressions. So if you wanted to buy a million ad impressions from youtube it would cost between $4,000 and $10,000. Then youtube only pays 55% of that to the content producer, then 30% of people are using adblock, so you're left with a much more modest $1540 - $3850 for your 1 million view video. This is why people put out a video every week instead of making one video and retiring.
It's actually probably too high. Think about it from the ad buyers perspective. You spend $10K to get a million views on your ad, then 1% of people click on it, so 10k views on your target site, then if your product is amazing 10% of those people will engage by downloading or signing up or looking for it at a store or whatever, so now you're down to 1000 people that each have to give you $10 or you're losing money.
At these levels of engagement, which are optimistic, you probably want your per-user monetization to be hundreds of dollars, or at least have the potential to get there. That's why every ad is for some scam with huge profit potential. Subscription services, gambling games, loans, habit forming products, that kind of shit. Those are the only things that can justify the cost.
It's a marketplace so what happens is the scam products drive up the cost because their profit margin is so high. If youtube banned the scammers, average ad cost would go way down so there's a perverse incentive for youtube to ignore scammers.
There are still smoothbrains here that get angry someone is making money off of making videos.
It's such a early 2010's boomer fucking mentality to be pissed off about. Guess what, if one of our guys isn't getting the money, SOMEONE ELSE will, and most likely it will be a leftist. So fuck that, squeeze the system for what its worth so we can use that money for our own good.
1 million views is allegedly 200k dollars. He got 400k for that shitty 'meme review.'
Clown world.
Idk, that seems pretty high for 1M views.
It is by an order of 10x. Around $30,000 would be the high end, with $20,000 be a more probable average.
Grabbed the first figure I saw in the search list.

But he has a crippling gun broker addiction so that money goes into buying MORE guns which we get to see.
So better him getting it than some 'pranks channel.

Is he monetized on YouTube? Anyways, yeah, I suspect he makes a lot.
