- qbasic_forever 5y agoAh, yeah back in the early days of youtube 1.5+ million views was a huge amount of revenue for creators.
- tempestn 5y agoIt depends a lot on the genre. Some pay $3-5 CPM I believe (so, $3k-5k per million). And that's just the youtube ads; once a channel gets a lot of subscribers they can attract external sponsors as well.
- arlcode 5y agoThere used to be a sponsoring segment in the beginning, but, if I recall correctly, they ended the contract after the stunt became known and it was cut.
- scoot 5y agoAffiliate link, not a sponsor. It's a common ruse by YouTubers to refer to them as sponsors to suggest that there's a negotiated commercial relationship when there isn't.
