YouTube is paying SO much money for shorts

Are you curious about how much money different social media platforms pay for viral videos? Well, one content creator decided to compare the earnings from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube for the same video that went viral on all three platforms. The results are quite astonishing.

On TikTok, despite getting half a million views, the creator made zero dollars due to their account being banned. With estimates, they could have earned around twenty dollars with that view count. Instagram, known for not paying creators much, didn't offer any compensation even with half a million views and 200 followers gained from the viral video. The real surprise came from YouTube, where the video garnered 5 million views and earned the creator over $ 250, with a payout rate of about seven cents per thousand views. Notably, YouTube Premium also contributes to the revenue generated from shorts, making it a highly lucrative platform for creators.
