And the Tips are amazing.
Just the tips, eh?
per 1 million views
What is the average view count on something like this... do they commonly reach multi-million view counts?
Edit: Yes, I'm an old man.
Her PornHub has 2,594,161 views right now.

Hence articles like this bother me:

YouTube, Instagram and TikTok…
That’s the trap. These mega platforms feel like “liberating” creative outlets, but they take basically all the ad revenue and hand out scraps; the absolute bare minimum to keep creators around. And that ratio shrinks as the monopoly grows.
Yet creators, even journalists trained to sniff out profiteering, go in blind to that.
And yes, I get it. “Just don’t use them,” is much harder said than done.
…But they could be a little more critical of their platform, like this lady.
It's just hype. They parade around people that "made it" with their revenue programs. The 99 or so % that never make any, or even lose, money in the process are never shown.
A close friend of mine invested a 4-figure amount into travels, gadgets and all sorts of stuff to show off... while being unemployed. Had a huge, organic crowd of followers, too, on several platforms. Tried everything, but never saw a single cent in return.
Yeah.
Hence most that "make it" do it through external links, like sponsors, OnlyFans, merch, blog/newsletter subscriptions and such.
Yet the platforms are trying to squash that. Just the other day, I witnessed the official YouTube Android TV app skip a video's sponsor.
Where then? What’s free with a shot at getting views/revenue?
That's what I'm saying.
You have to use YouTube, Tiktok, whatever. But at least be a little more self aware and vocal of the platform's pitfalls.
And to be clear, some content creators already are. But it needs to be the majority. They need to remind every single viewer "this place is a trap, a bloodsucking leech, and we're here because we have no choice." Just subtly enough to avoid deranking, of course.
They are liberating creative outlets in the sense that they offer a platform and tools for creative expression (barring some ToS rules) for free. You can post a creative video that may be seen by thousands without needing to sell ownership to some company. They play ads to pay for its associated costs and yes, to turn a profit, while giving a small portion to the creators as an additional incentive. But they are not intended to replace regular income in a meaningful way. I have never heard of anyone suggesting that trying to do so is a good idea, including the big name content creators that by exception do manage to earn a living from it.
If you think it should be a reliable way to make money, I would say you have the unfair expectation for it. I would compare it to complaining that a service that teaches you how to knit is only sufficient for hobbyists and rarely allows one to build a successful company selling clothes. That's just beyond the scope of what it's there for.

You gotta get a million views to earn a thousand bucks?!
A $1 CPM (per thousand impressions) is actually pretty good for a platform like Pornhub where I assume most people are logged out/incognito etc. on an adult content.
If YouTube is really only paying out $0.34 CPM to that creator, that is atrocious. They must be getting like 20% rev share.

Dunno if my math is wrong, but i think she made more money from youtube than pornhub. So for this particular case youtube is still better besides the low cpm. So im not sure where we going with that. PH ca. 33$ and YT ca. 340$
Are there any video essays on PornHub? Bonus if they're actual port with actual information.
I'm just imagining a world where YouTube is so shit and pays so poorly that most content creators move to pornhub, and it becomes a respectable place to go to learn stuff and watch video essays, more than porn
