    $10-$30/1,000 views doesn’t sound like much. Except the people who make a career out of YouTube are regularly producing 100k+ view videos. It adds up. It’s one of the things you can pick and choose to leave out of a competitor. But it is a major reason why people put videos on YouTube.

      That’s the absolute top end. Most accounts see 50 cents per thousand.

    Not sure. But it is one of the cornerstones of YouTube. Also tiktok does pay creators.
