    YT has been placing WAY more ads the last 2-3 weeks; the added revenue is clearly NOT going to the people who earn it.

      This. YT are pushing people to Premium (ad free) - basically, Google create an artificial problem and then sell the solution for £££. Sucks that the creators don't get a cut of the ad revenue, I wonder if they still get the cut from Premium viewers...?

      yeah, and its much worse on the TV apps. most ads are now 60 sec before you can skip, then when you skip they show you 1 more ad after the skip. also there are typically several 60 sec ad breaks per video.

    • @machinemaker2248
      @machinemaker2248 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@uscgkenny Have you tried backing out of the video and then replaying it? Sometimes that makes the current ad break end in the app. Unfortunately, it often starts at the beginning of the video, too.

      @chewbacawookie9696 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      One of the things I’ve noticed on TH-cam at least is if I’m watching a lot of it, I get a lot more ads. If I take a break for a few days, It slowly increases the ad count probably in some way that follows a brain pattern.

    The value of being on TH-cam has any ad revenue. It’s the ability to give a call to action to your product, like your course or a product you’re getting paid to promote. So I look it TH-cam as a way to build an audience, find out how you can serve them, and promote your product to them.

  • @TankTheTech
    @TankTheTech 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'm happy you mentioned that it'd be more revenue if it were a long form video, because a lot of people are leaving that out when they're talking about shorts nowadays. Don't get me wrong, shorts revenue is bonkers low (I've made $208 on a short with 2 million views), but longer form is considerably better in the RPM department (although we'd all argue it should be higher... 😂).

    It seems to me that the TH-cam views probably are more important as advertising for the other revenue streams, than as a revenue stream itself. I think that's something that people overlook when they see that you make more money from Patreon, for example.. people have to know about you before they get to your Patreon.

    I believe Shorts USED to be literal pennies for millions of views, so I think this is probably a good change. I wonder what a video that’s about 2-3 mins long, length of a song, that goes viral, makes as far as revenue goes if it hits a similar milestone

  • @apinakapina
    @apinakapina 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks, that's interesting. I wonder if you get something out of Tiktok and FB, as in what kind of rates they may have. I assume it's less than Adsense because TH-cam just blasts ads (I hear, have premium myself) whereas like one in five Tiktok vids is an ad.

    In the past, everyone had monitors in front of them so they could hear themselves, okay, some still do today.

    Normal people have no idea what it's like to stand on stage and not hear what you're playing because the speakers are radiating towards the listener.

He still records video and thinks he will make millions from TH-cam not realizing some youtubers were already rich before they started TH-cam or had jobs before youtube. What I think is he should do is stick to electronics. He can probably make way more money creating his own computer repair company

    someone did something and the following happened. But yea, if you have analytics setup right, now you got a real hotlist of each who were engaged for the full video that went viral. Like it had the production value, from your investment in skill, tools, and mind; but also "it just resonated".
    So that 2k feels like peanuts with all the effort you put into it, but i'm saying 20% of the mass that were engaged, could prolly buy that patreon of yours. And you have a pointer to their profile, if you had google analytics set up right.
    Prolly all over the world, prolly would buy tickets. I'd have free...

    Well done, good video, as a singer, in ears are great, mainly my voice and guitar, my highest rating video was over 2 million for a video I did of a humongous Dog we had in the Rescue I used to help at, which went viral. I have over 80 published songs on Spotify and all the streaming platforms, I think, as a way of getting music distributed they are great, but, unless you get millions of listeners, artists are getting totally ripped off, no change there, I perform music for enjoyment, as a day job, it sucks, been there done that, can sell you a T-shirt.

    Now, I wonder more about how it feels to knowingly being ripped off and still keeping the motivation to keep going. It's clearly not about the money. My theory, the metrics is the real incentive for most. Until they're audited by an independent firm, they're probably completely fake.

    To really make sense of all this in business terms, I would need to know how many hours it took to gain your skill level on guitar. How many hours it took for you to master youtube enough to create that many views. Also how many 'tubers' get more than 10 million views from a single video. Well, I think I made my point. You invested huge amounts of time and effort into making $2000, so much, you probably couldn't even calculate it all. Like all the rest of the social media, TH-cam is making all the money!
