The moral of the story is: Watch PornHub videos instead of YouTube videos to do your part to support content creators.

- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

How to fake age verification without VPN? Asking for a friend.
Firefox has a built-in VPN. Presumably for this exact situation.
Proton free tier works for bypassing uk age verification. ...So i am told by a friend....
I mean, yes YouTube is greedy, but a big part of that is pronhub allowing very predatory ads, from scams and chatbots and straight up malware companies, who are willing to pay more
YouTube absolutely shows ads that are predatory, scams, malware, and chatbot adjacent... literally the only difference is whether an erect dick is visible and tbh I'm not fully convinced YT hasn't let porn ads through.
Wasn't there like straight up Minecraft character porn on YouTube? For like, a not insignificant amount of time.
Does anyone think there is a PornHub market for a fully dressed old lady who paints Warhammer?
Just get a banger microphone and whisper while you paint. Throw in some sexual ennuendos here and there.
"Oh stay still like a good little boy while I get you ready."
"Hmm you're all wet here (with paint). Not sure if it's ready for more."
👀🤣
Might need to take your socks off
Yes
They censor her name from the post, but not the screenshots?
I have never understood this impulse to censor content which is publicly available. Like she wrote that and put it on the internet under her name, presumably she's all right about people knowing about it.
It's LinkedIn, they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed
Tries to obfuscate the name of the content creator who would literally profit from more people being able to find her. Nice.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How the heck do the YouTubers I watch sustain themselves on $330 / million? That seems really unsustainable when they only very rarely break 5 million.
Many, many videos, patreon, streaming, sponsors, etc.
and merch
My very uneducated understanding is merch is the most profitable avenue for many Youtubers.
Youtubers are the new touring musician, it seems.
That and sponsorships
That's why they always tell you to SMASH that like and subscribe button
Sponsorship can easily get you a good 4 digit deal per video. Even for small-ish creators. 5 digits if you regularly get million plus views
Patreon is the other big one
Fun fact: yt premium views pay orders of magnitude more per view. In a world where a large percentage of viewers have premium, there would be almost no incentive for most small and medium sized channels to have sponsors in videos
In addition to what others have said, the value per million views changes depending on how profitable your audience is. Education is notoriously low, something like makeup is much higher.
For a lot of creators it may not even be about the money they earn directly from it. I have a small educational YouTube channel. It brings in about 20 bucks per month in ad revenue, more in the past when I was more active. But really it's a nice feather in my cap and something neat on my resume. A modest YouTube channel won't pay enough by itself to make the effort worthwhile. But if that channel gets you over the top on a new high paying job? Then it's worth it. In this context, a YouTube channel functions as a kind of personal brand/promotional material.
Nebula, Patreon, merch…
Sponsors will pay 5 figures for a 30-second promotional segment of the video.
they have brand deals, promotions, sponsors and patreon. a asian ones i used to followed had to use these to stay alive they barely make 2million views per video. youtube does all sorts of stuff to your algorithim which can exclude you from reach other peoples feeds or not all. the big ones certain are using these+ they are already wealthy and expands to have thier own company which contributes more.
some are quite small and only upload occasionally and dont sustain themselves on youtube at all, mostly the ones about sciences as many of them are burgeoning scientists, going to school,,,etc.
Honestly, if anyone were to compete with YouTube and not be trying to rub their fanny all over the government for good boy points...
I'm pretty sure that's why it's illegal in red states.
Shit maybe that's what all these data centers are actually for. Make a billion fake ai Instagram people and flood the US Internet to help shape the narrative. You'd obviously want to funnel views toward your buddies and away from anything unpredictable.
I really think the data centers are to power the already installed surveillence tools like Flock and web trackers/personal device telemetry, but that certainly could be a part of it.
True that. Also, all metadata on all Americans for the past twenty years.
Honestly, a year of ice leading up to the elections with full AI™️
32k PH views vs. 981k YT views.
Rough math on that is 32 dollars vs. ~339 dollars. So uhh... okay.
I mean, that's besides the point. Most people go to porn hub for less mathsy videos. Plus, it's extra money for just putting the already made video there
I've seen this reposted for years now.
Still making 10x more on youtube, $32.81 vs $333.54
With one simple trick she could make 10x more on PornHub, but this would reduce the YouTube income to $0.
Good thing they covered her name at the top, wouldn't want to have it in too many places on the image...
Comfort to me, what does that even mean?
One reason, do we persevere?
Existing for the sake of existing, meaning disappears
Meanwhile, I only just started learning basic politics
Meanwhile, they sexualize my body and get mad when I exploit it
It's just for capital
Am I an animal?
It's just for capital, capital, capital
But do I care at all?
Amyl and The Sniffers - Capital immediately came to mind.
It's hard to survive in late stage capitalism. Might as well exploit it.
This. Don't ever fuck over a person. But fuck over corporations and institutions as much as you desire. For the purposes of these instructions I don't consider billionaires to be people
I don't know about PH but youtube is around 2000$ per million
Yt adrev highly varies based on type of content
Thought you switched to a Slavic language for a moment there...
