“I have made a total of … ~148 EUR from Youtube ad revenue” From 173,000 views
Yeah approx 1EUR/1000 views which I think is kinda "typical" from what I have heard - the ranges I've heard are approx 1USD to 5USD per 1000 views.

Re: How much can you earn creating content on Youtube?
#22Dealing with Youtube's "copyright" department isn't worth the trouble. Also the same content on a Adsense monezited site yields factor 10 earnings vs Youtube. Just one example of their copyright shenanigans: A friend of mine prank called some water cleaning office somewhere in Africa. He was put on hold, while on hold some music played. Youtube wanted to know if he had the license for this "elevator type" music, esse…
Hold the line music is absolutely copyrighted in a way that you can’t post a conversation containing that music to a channel that you are monetising, without compensating the creators of the music.
That sounds absolutely insane, you don't even request that music to be played.
It's time for copyright to adapt to the 21st century.

#23I started a YouTube channel at the end of 2017 and published on YouTube on a regular basis for a bit over a year. My best year was about $1,500. I've made $4,600 since I started the channel. At the channel's peak, I was trying to publish a DIY video where I would build something two or three times a month. I started the channel because I enjoy making stuff and thought I would be able to do more of it and maybe get pa…
Can you educate me a bit here? If you do it in a single take, what do you do in your hour of editing?
import the video from your device. cut out/speed up the boring parts. add a voice over or music or corrections to dialog. add intro screens, cut screens, transitions, titles. tweak the audio, censor curse words if required. insert images or screenshots you reference. insert labels/graphics. export it. re-export it because you screwed something up. upload to youtube. fill out their required forms. write description, timestamps, link cards, end cards. create affiliate links if that's what you're doing. follow up on social media. etc. etc. etc.
you're probably thinking of streaming, which involves less work, but you have to do it in real time with OBS or whatever. maybe you're talented and can do it yourself, but sometimes that involves a second person at the controls.
sure you can just upload a raw video straight from your device. but this is exceedingly rare, because you've grown accustomed to at least the basic round of editing - you likely don't even realize what edits have happened. raw video is incredibly boring. will anyone watch it? if not, then what are you even doing that for?
you should try both sometime, it's not quite as easy or fast as it sounds.

Copyright laws are just there to screw smaller creators, on TV they have agreements with the monopoly license fee holders and they just put whatever they want without asking anybody.

Editing is boring work because you have to go through hours of video and find the right fragments and stitch them together, then rewatch to see if the flow is right, etc.

I wonder how long it takes before someone makes an AI to do it.

What's idiotic about this market is that you can't set your own price.

> Making videos taking time away from actually making stuff and making the projects take 10X longer. So I stopped. Isn't that why a lot of YouTubers (or content creators, whatever the name is), hire a videographer to do that work for them?
So a lot of YouTubers start primarily self editing up until they have enough of a following to hire someone’s services. It can be painful!

How would you set your own price?
Just not showing content when there isn't enough adds available surely would drive away watchers. And the advertisers are already bidding. Certain types of content get higher pay.
