This wayback machine is from April 28, 2005. Me at the Zoo[1] is from April 23, 2005.

- cowsandmilk 7y agoThe founder of the site seeded content, that isn’t users uploading...

- jxramos 7y agowow a whopping 18 seconds and 72,954,314 views!
- computator 7y agoOne of the comments on that video claims that the guy makes $5.9k-$93.7k per year on that one 18-second video. Does that sound plausible and consistent with what YouTube pays? Is there any way to check if he has actually monetized his video?
- P0l83q4p1Hw3Ul 7y ago$1-10 per 1k views. 73m views / 15 years = 5.2m views/year =$5.2k/year - $52k/year. Turn off Adblock and see if an ad plays.
