One way to try to 'read' it, especially if you don't keep up and make notes, is to look at the two squiggly charts at the bottom. One is # of views.
In January 2023, she got about 3 million views (the highest point since Sept '21).
But in May 2024, she was way down - way below 1 million views. I'd guess about 50,000, maybe 100,000 but way way less.
IIRC Youtube pays by views, not by subs, but the other squiggle chart monitors the # of subs, in a similar way to # of views.
Now, somebody can come along and explain how I got this completely wrong, but I think that's what's going on, with those two charts anyway.

Oh and a bit more about views to $.
Each youtuber has a "cpm" (the number of thousands made per million views.) A low cpm is 1 (so $1000 per month per million views that month.)
A high cpm is 5 or even higher - so if 5, you'd get $5,000 per month per million views.
Cpms vary a lot - it depends on multiple factors, the type videos you do (videos that give advice on your finances are the best - I think gaming ones the worst?) Cpm also varies by location - both the creator's and the viewers. Creators in Russia get like 0 per million, and Americans doing videos on finance with an American audience might get a cpm above 10 (tens of thousands per million.)
Another variable: a video with non-skippable ads will have higher cpms.
Just going on type, assuming a top country, a google search AI result said:
- How to make money online: $13.52 (1000s per million = $13,520 per million ).
Oh well, I'm sure I've screwed that up - I'm sure Tiffluffy know every detail - but here's an article about it:
CPM is an important metric for analyzing which videos are most valuable to advertisers. Here’s what to know.
