That's just 75% of the channels I follow.
 
The main ones i watch are Shabazz, Advanced knife bro, cutlery lover, sometimes Birdshot, slicey dicey, epicsnugglebunny and sometimes Doctor frunkey.

Absolutely dislike Skelton, Nutnfancy, and Apostlep.
 
Yes, once you hit a 1000 subs you can apply to get monetized via Google/AdSense, but you can't say 9,000 subs makes 1300$ a month and 90,000 makes 13000$ a month. Doesn't work like that, it's based on views, how many ads people watch, how much each Ad is worth. General rule of thumb was 1000$ per 500,000 Views, that was before the thing tanked about a year ago (The whole Ad-pocalypse) where even bigger channels 150k+ started to ask for Patreon because it wasn't sustainable income with just views.
Your co-worker then either had a very lucky month or happens to have a whole lot of views, which at 9000 subs seems very unlikely, or he's a genius at social media marketing and can get a lot of crosspost views without actually increasing his subscriber base. I'm no expert, but by that logic Nick Shabbaz would be making 10-12k $ a month since he has about 80,000 subscribers now.
If you're curious, look your co-worker up on Socialblade, it shows you what a channel can make THEORETICALLY on Youtube, and it's generally more towards the lower end of the estimate and not the high end.

Indeed, based on views sir! 1 of my co workers videos got over 516k views last month alone. Which is why the revenue was as much as it was.

I also never said sub count would be a direct correlation ...but generally you could bet on a youtuber with more subs in general is going to get more views more consistently (as long as their active)...as they have a bigger following.

I can also confirm the check amount of $1,350 as I saw it was my own eyes, and I really dont have any reason to lie lol
 
Thanks Mo2 for that listing. Nice job. Interesting list of characters at that.

I've only seen a couple of his videos but Nero knives seems like he takes his reviews seriously. And I've only seen a handful of the channels you mention but I'll have to check more of them out.

Only 75% of the channels? Where do you find all the time for that? (my main complaint with these review is how long they all seem to take, but I guess that's what the playback speed button is for).

Absolutely dislike Skelton, Nutnfancy, and Apostlep.

Right on!

No, I get that. I wasn't calling you a liar or anything, more elaborating on it that you can't really go by just one metric. 9000 subs and 500k+ views is really impressive and a bit weird. Care to share the channel? I'm curious what kind of videos/market his audience is. Almost 1500 bucks is nothing to sneeze at for sure, especially if you can manage that part time with a YT channel. It's definitely possible to make money with it, but it depends on audience, reach, views, types of ads and a couple of factors. (Consistency is also a big key and staying true to a certain genre and not jumping all over the place with content.)
 
I generate between $40 -50 dollars a month with ad revenue. Once upon a time I had some random spinner video get 5 million views, that generated $5k. So $1k per million views.

Certain categories on YouTube have much higher payouts because of the companies that pay YouTube for ads. I think cooking, makeup and children's toys are some of the better ones.

Knife and gun channels are possibly the lowest payouts, assuming they don't demonitize all your vids anyway. Which is why so many set up Patreon accounts.

Even if you borrow every knife you use for a video, you can expect to spend between $500-$1000 on shipping costs per year.

Hmm.. my guess is makeup tutorials.

So put on make up and cook some children toys! Triple multiplier! Right? RIGHT? :p:D Did you look into maybe making new "surprise" videos, maybe not necessarily live to keep it easy, where you pick a random person to send you a knife you wouldn't buy/check out and you give some spontaneous thoughts like you did with BHQ, I know they are a bit far away these days to just swing by, but it could be fun to do a "I review/check out viewer knives" Maybe every other week or once a month?
 
Nice lists!
I just realized that jdavis882 has been active on Youtube again since last year.
 
My favs are shabazz, slicey dicey, cedricandada, metal complex, and my gf and I catch up with birdshot iv's newest videos every weekend in bed lol
 
Ive watched them all at some point. Im suprised to not see nutnfancy on anyone;s list at all..unless I missed it.

But i like nick shabazz, preparedmind101 and the boyscout guy i forget exactly. Those three are some of my favs.

oh and i love mayormcfuglycool..he puts knives through tests everyone would hate on this forum, basicically tryng very hard to destroy the knife.
 
My favorite is Nick Shabbaz , I really get a kick out of watching his reviews. He reminds me of the Car Talk Brothers. :):thumbsup:
