I have no measure of scale on 150k dollars a year in terms of creators scale...

I remember something like 2k$ youtube ad revenue for 1M views, so that's like 1M video every 4 days? or was it 2M views per 1k dollars, then it's 1M video every day?

$1 per 1000 views is a good estimate. Depends wildly on content.

		I've seen that same figure for YT ad revenue alone. sponsorships can range from $0.015-0.030 per video for channels with 1k to 50k subscribers. at a biweekly cadence, they'd need ~6M views per video to hit $150k with ads alone. if you figure another $0.025 per view for sponsorships, then they would need 6M views per year or about 240K per video. looking at Patreon stats, it seems reasonable to assume that a channel with 25K subscribers could pull in about 1K Patreon subs with effort. if each is paying $5/mo, then that would add another $60K/yr in revenue (though I imagine a lot of that would get eaten up by fees and extra costs.

What's crazy is I just paid $450 to Google for 15k views of my youtube ad (views, not impressions).

So would be $30k for 1M ad views.

Of course a bit apples to oranges since not all youtube videos have mandatory ads, etc.
