Sending them $5 via Gumroad or Patreon is worth hundreds or thousands of ad views, depending on the creator's RPM. YouTube ad payouts are pretty stingy.

No way most people send cash. Most people won't pay for a netflix subscription, there's no chance they're dropping 5$ for a youtube creator.

Watch any popular live stream on youtube and you'll see random people dropping $1-100 at any given time for their favorite creators. I don't really understand the motivation, but is a real phenomenon.
