How much do you tube contributors actually make though?
Whats the average payout to the top 10%,20%,30%,40%,50%,70%?
My guess is 80%+ of contributors make a pittance, perhaps a few dollars a month if Pareto is consistent across most subjects, which it seems to be.
But youtube still makes a lot from them because it makes it seem like there’s gobs of content. I really don’t use YouTube, because most of the videos that show up as “you may like this” that are 30 minutes to explain 2 sentences worth of info. There are specific video producers who I go to watch, and pretty much nothing else.
