Good looking website! And my mind is blown by the figures some of these Youtubers make! $4.6M in revenue. "Last 28 days". (Well, that's Mr. Beast, I think world's most popular Youtuber) Insane!
They will pay whatever the advertisers pay. Certain categories in certain countries can be extremely valuable, and other categories in other countries can be much less.
India, being a poor country, certainly will generate much less revenue than a country like US in the same category because the advertisers will be willing to pay much less per click.
Very much so. Can't speak of India specifically but in my experience with adsense, some of the countries with a similar to India gdp per capita often pay out 50 to 70 _times_ less than the US rates.
$4.6M a month in revenue is not that much honestly. I'm disappointed. The average Hollywoord blockbuster could pay for that about 2 years. And the views/$ are most likely staggeringly lower.
If I do the napkin math: $600 million dollar revenue for Oppenheimer. A movie ticket costs about $10. That means Oppenheimer was viewed 60 million times. Mr. Beast JUST on his main channel has 1.6 BILLION views. And that only for the meager price of $4.6M. Oppenheimer cost $100M to make and it doesn't even touch Mr. Beast.
Movie ticket sales not comparable to Youtube revenue numbers. Studio gets probably 50% of a ticket sales. Movies are getting longer as well and that needs a big cast and crew. Whereas Youtube movies are optimal around the 10 minute mark - so the cost of production will be a lot lower.
True I wasn't adding the additional income from private sponsors, his cloud kitchens, his chocolate bars and the translation service business because you have to consider the platform revenue must be valuable for a buyer too because once Mr.Beast sells his channel there is no guarantee that the private sponsors will still continue with the same arrangements.
Thats the nature of creator economy, his(creator) actions can influence audience reactions towards the channel, affecting the organic revenue drastically.
That describes the "inverted pyramid" model where a lot of the YouTube channels especially reside. Instead of a replaceable CEO at the top of the company, you have a foundational CEO at the bottom, who holds up the rest of the company above.
Probably true, what's the point of owning $1b when you already have $100m? Does your life change in any way if you already have enough money for 10 lifetimes?
