There's a section about YouTube in this video [1] by Samuri Guitarist called "How Much Money Guitarists Actually Make Might Surprise You". The YouTube money is covered in the "The Content Creator" section.

Overall the video lives up to its title. I was in fact surprised by how much guitarists actually make. The surprise worked both ways--some of the ways guitarists might make money paid much worse than I expected, and some paid much more.

I think this data is subject to change quickly. I think content creation has enjoyed it's "Dot-com Bubble" era. I think it's already starting to change, but will likely very rapidly change if a recession sets in soon, as many prominent economists are expecting.

Content creation payments are fueled by advertising dollars and it's easy to see that the advertising market has started to contract, as evidenced by many of the modern news outlets folding, driven in much part by loss of advertising revenues.

Which time frame are you talking about here? I had the impression news outlets folded during the last 20 years because ads went online?
