It's the 20th, an important day for BLAB. Today's the last day of the current YouTube earning cycle.
From the 21st of the current month to the 20th of the following month, YouTube keeps track of a channel's views, ad views, and engagement. At the end of the cycle they decide how much a creator has earned and pay accordingly. Currently according to Playbook, BLAB's total views for this last cycle is
351,342. It's bad, this cycle's views are the second lowest of the year. For comparison last month's cycle had 499,940 views.
How much will 351,342 views pay? Looking on the internet it seems .018 cent is the average pay per YouTube view. Using that:
351,342 x .018 = $6324.15 gross
subtract YouTube's 45% cut: $6324.15 - $2845.87 = $3478.28.
Tack on 6% CA income tax (just guessing) and BLAB takes home a whopping:
$3269.59
And with a little extra Patreon money, that's all they have to pay for everything. Rent, food, gas, utilities, internet, phones/mobile data, insurance, CREDIT CARD BILLS. Holy shit this makes my had spin. Best Life? More like BROKE LIFE.
