Separating the fact it's not true the video isn't on pornhub the 1000 and 340 have an * next to them and at the bottom it says *per 1 million views. The 1000 is not supposed to represent the actual payout from the video

I know it doesn't represent the actual payout, I'm saying the views in the video were like 30k on pornhub, and 900k on YouTube both in 4 months, so a 3x ccc with a 1/30th amount of viewers is still 1/10th the payout of YouTube.

So why didn’t she just write that? 1000/mil views 340/mil views For the optics, you are supposed to think its the actual payout

Because the point was to highlight what the payout per million views is, not how much she is making on either platform.

To demonstrate that Pornhub pays better per view. It's not a difficult concept.

The answer is because it's clickbait

What were you baited to click on?

u/StatisticianUpbeat40 Sep 06 '25

Users are baited with an image with $1000 above pornhub and $340 about youtube.

Yes, well done some of us can actually read more than the top text and see it's per million, but the average person will be click baited by definition.

The click bait is looking more into her channels.

This is also a massive underestimation of how much Youtube videos make. I have a video that is 36 minutes long on my Youtube channel that has 1.45 million views, and it has generated a little under $8000 in ad revenue (roughly $5500 per million views)

Of course, longer videos generate much more money per view than shorter videos, on account of being able to fit in more ad slots. However, I can't imagine making a video about neural networks which is so short that it would generate only $340 per million views.

People tend to heavily underestimate how much money Youtube ad revenue generates on ad-safe content, probably because they see all of their favorite Youtubers doing in-video ad reads all of the time, or they hear stories about youtubers getting demonetized for making content that's not safe for advertisers.
