But it IS in their best interest to try to work with consistent content producers for their advertising space.

The numbers seem foreboding at that height, but perhaps if they were to go and say '300 viewing hours a week' as opposed to 4,000 a year (Roughly the same, 33h shorter per month though...) it would seem a lot more manageable and approachable.

That'd be 4,800 viewing minutes per month, meaning one 5 minute video a month, with 2000 viewers, crosses that easilly.

I'm not sure that they do. I believe that the ads are bought against content, not against viewers.

Youtube, ideally, is an advertising dream for niche products

That's why products like Tim Pool's own VPN sponsor seek him out.

Like he said, he COULD accept offers to push for video game apps and stuff and make bank, but in a sense, those advertisements wouldn't really fit his format, while something covering security does.

Many of the people in the free speech sector of youtube recognize the importance of anonymity and security, and so the marketing of that product to us is sound within this niche

a poor example, since they advertise natively as opposed to pre-roll, with good reason, a VPN is kind of at odds with Youtube's Big Data business model

Now, there are advertising models that actually track your internet usage - I know facebook does this

where if you visit a website, you're more likely to see paid ads for that website

it's more of a brand awareness model, where they try to keep their company name in your mind to get you to eventually buy

I'm not sure if youtube uses it, but google's advertising services do use it sometimes.

mmhmm

For instance, I just went to www.escapistmagazine.com, and I got this ad https://s0.2mdn.net/6232239/Cart-Abandoners-300x250.jpg

I've been recently looking for server space for a media company I'm trying to build, and bluehost was one of the server providers that I looked at.

That's a very directed advertisement.

I had to disable my ad blocker just to get an example. >:D

But no, I don't recall what ads I see on Tim's videos when I watch them on my phone (He does get ads on them there)

because I usually tune them out. They usually come in in the middle of a video... :/

so sould i use brave and bat?

how much money would you have gotten if this newest youtube guillotine had not hit you, and you had 999 subscribers and 3999 hours of viewtime? Just out of curiosity, I have no clue. Is it tens of dollars, or hundreds?

yearly, that is

so 4k viewer hours is 240k minutes watched

lets say you make 2 minute videos

120k views

so you get 119k views

that can be from 50-200$ maybe

I guess that's a decent chunk of money but that's not like anybody's career or anything

do a 10 hour lviestream of your hamsters being hamsters

heh

600 minutes per view (that reaches 100%)

so its kinda whack but w.e

yeah I understand, I totally hate it but I'm trying to get the boundaries of the thing

some people can hit 10k subs but not hit teh hour mark becuse they had a viral 30 second video

thanks for explaining btw.

30 seconde video

average watch time is 20 seconds

yeah, meme videos and such

youll need 720,000 views

time to twitch it
