The moral of the story is: Watch PornHub videos instead of YouTube videos to do your part to support content creators.

    Might be time to move or overthrow your clearly oppressive situation. (But really I highly doubt its that hard to get around)

    yeah not really hard to get around with a vpn but the user was specifically saying without one.

    As for overthrowing gouvernement, as a french, we have an habit of doing that, but it's not enough of a pain I guess

    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.

    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.

    1. I support creators more without having to do anything myself more than just the same watching I would do anyway.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    For a lot of creators it may not even be about the money they earn directly from it. I have a small educational YouTube channel. It brings in about 20 bucks per month in ad revenue, more in the past when I was more active. But really it's a nice feather in my cap and something neat on my resume. A modest YouTube channel won't pay enough by itself to make the effort worthwhile. But if that channel gets you over the top on a new high paying job? Then it's worth it. In this context, a YouTube channel functions as a kind of personal brand/promotional material.

    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.

    Does anyone think there is a PornHub market for a fully dressed old lady who paints Warhammer?

    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."

    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.

    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.

    I don't know about PH but youtube is around 2000$ per million

    32k PH views vs. 981k YT views.

    Rough math on that is 32 dollars vs. ~339 dollars. So uhh... okay.

    Comfort to me, what does that even mean?

    One reason, do we persevere?

    Existing for the sake of existing, meaning disappears

    Meanwhile, I only just started learning basic politics

    Meanwhile, they sexualize my body and get mad when I exploit it

    It's just for capital

    Am I an animal?

    It's just for capital, capital, capital

    But do I care at all?

    Amyl and The Sniffers - Capital immediately came to mind.

    It's hard to survive in late stage capitalism. Might as well exploit it.

    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.

    Doesn’t quite match up since she is the performer here as well.

    Sorry for the confusion ... but I was referring to Pornhub and Youtube ... both platforms that do nothing but host yet receive all or most of the revenue for all the activity, performances and creativity of everyone who posts anything on those platforms. They are both like Ticketmaster, they do very little for anyone in the equation, they don't create, they don't perform, they don't provide support, they just guide audiences to the performance, yet receive the majority of the benefit of the transaction.

    You're not wrong, but also you kinda ignore how capital intensive it is to run a video hosting platform. That shit is hard to do at scale and it takes many nerds with expensive salaries. Doesn't mean they should get to control the revenue sharing though. Ticketmaster is just a scam.

    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.

    pornhub.com is probably on every ban list since it has been in existence. She’s missing a lot of her intended audience.
