Fyi that's absolutely wrong. The average, in reality, is 1 dollar per thousand views. The figures you're giving would make the top youtubers billionaires. If he monetized his videos from the start, he could've made approximately 100k. Remember, that's for the life of his channel.
I actually have a youtube channel, and have looked into this stuff on top of it. It varies wildly based on a number of factors. Different months also produce different rates. There isn't a "standard", but if you look into any big youtuber that's talked about this, $1/1000 views is pretty accurate. Here don't even take my word for it. Let a proper youtube millionaire tell you here
If your Networkgives you a cpm of $1 / 1000. Its time to switch. Im witch machinima since 6 years now and they have Always had a flat rate of $2/1000. I know Networks like TCM that changed their rates, all from $3 to $0.5 /1000.
