They often say that we're screwing the person who runs the channel. In reality, I'm willing to bet my left nutsack that they make a fuckton more from the occasional donations than from ads, once Google, MCNs, and the government take their share.

Pretty sure most YouTubers and streamers will tell you exactly that. Sponsorships and brand deals make them way way more

One of my random channels I watch straight up tells people to use adblocks and don't give YouTube a cent.

Patreon and merch sales are also make them money.

How many nutsacks do you have? I keep all of mine in one.

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

As many as I need for redundancy.

I have a small channel (5k) and YouTube ads make about 40% of what I earn.

You’d make more with Pateron

[–] art@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes, just a little. My patreon is the other 60%. But don't discount the first 40%.

You'd make even more if you'd switch to Ko-Fi as they only take a flat fee per month
