It's official, $2000 per million views
Hmmmmmmm
There's a ton of variables though. Video lenght, viewer retention and ad clicks to name a few. The income is also a lot in December and almost nothing in January because of seasonal advertising.
Best way to make dough on youtube is using something like Patreon, since you have a more guaranteed income.
That's only add rev though. When you get at about 50,000 subs, companies start to ask you to use/review/advertise stuff for them in exchange for money. Atleast that's what I heard.

Depends on advertisers and sponsors

Also youtube channels getting bought out by companies and putting the personality on a salary

This is an interesting video too. He breaks down how Linus Tech makes money via youtube. A big channel with 3,5 million subs which reviews mostly computer hardware.
Keep it over 10 mins and its correct

I make some joke videos that are like 30 seconds. Does this really increase the income? What about viewer retention? Aren't the audiences more likely to sit through a shorter video? How are you supposed to make something enjoyable for more than 10 minutes and upload every day?

Wouldn't splitting it into a part 1 & 2 at 5 minutes each, double your viewing figures?

ASMR videos are the key:
The viewer falls asleep whilst watching and thus watches the entire length of the video.
Sometimes they can be an hour long

I got $300 from them one time and used that for BTC and in turn it rised up to $908

No, but that's my point.
I can't see any advantage to making them longer,
If YouTube pays on views.
>>1718396
you can place ads throughout the video if its 10+ min long
>>1718462
It's weird though, I've seen videos that are exactly 10 minutes long and they only have one ad. It was obvious that they were stretching for 10 minutes too.

I can't remember the details, but YouTube did switch over to view *time* rather than view *count* sometime within the last few years. Obviously it had something to do with advertising profits.
Anyway, to be clear: view time is what matters now, not view count.
