It’s such a crazy small pittance that a creator gets from ad revenue. I watched a video recently of a YouTube channel with 3 million subscribers doing a breakdown of how they make money, and they make $700 a month off the advertising. Luckily they have a Patreon that they make $30,000 a month off of, which they’ve used to make some really amazing content. It’s sort of bizarre that they even run the ads on their videos, honestly, as you’d think not running them would increase appeal leading to more Patreon subscribers.

What's the channel? This doesn't sound right. At all.


You know, I checked and their breakdown of earnings video is from 4 years ago. My mistake.

Thanks for letting me know because I was shocked at how little money they seemed to be making from ads vs Patreon.
