Not disputing your numbers but just putting it out there that Hank Green estimated $2-per-1000.[1] That calculates 35m views to be ~$70k.
Google also recently changed its engagement algorithms and everybody's views and monetization went way down. I'm not sure what the latest 2017 cpm estimates would be. That Hank Green estimate was from 2015.

- kthejoker2 9y agoOne data point, my wife's channel has averaged $1.14 per 1000 views in 2017.
- NathanKP 9y agoFrom what I heard it is/was $5-$10 per 1000 if your video is eligible for the high value video pre-roll ads. If you only get text AdSense ads then it is about $1 per 1000. Either way, my point is that a 35 million view YouTube video generates a lot more than $200 dollars for someone. Even if you take the minimum of $1 per 1000 you are still looking at $35,000 of ad revenue. That ad money must be going somewhere, even if creators don't get it. So YouTube isn't to blame, its the people who are skimming off so much money that only $200 is left for the writer
