    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

      yt premium views pay orders of magnitude more per view.

      This is a large part of why YT Premium is a no brainer for me.

      1. I support creators more without having to do anything myself more than just the same watching I would do anyway.

      2. I don’t have to bother with ad blockers, I still do, but I don’t need to. I don’t have ads when watching from different places either like mobile or TV which are more difficult to block ads than just a browser extension.

      3. It includes YouTube Music, so I don’t have to pay for music streaming separately. Was able to cancel my Spotify and save that money, which pays for the majority of YouTube Premium.

      So for basically $3 more than I paid for Spotify, I get ad-free Youtube.

        I actually had no idea that creators made more money from Premium views. It was already a sub I’m happy to pay for because of how it benefits ME, good to know they benefit as well.

          Yeah I remember a couple years ago Linus Tech Tips did a breakdown of their income for transparency and education. That’s where I first had a creator directly mention that difference. It’s something like 5x the revenue per view.
