How Much YouTube Paid For 10M Viewed Video
The Huge earn from YouTube
Based on the information you provided, the earnings from articles on platforms like YouTube
can vary significantly based on factors such as views, video length, monetization, location of viewers, and the topic of the article. It's difficult to provide an exact figure for how much a million views would earn, as it depends on several variables.
In your example, you mentioned that an article with a million views typically makes around $2,000. However, this is just an average estimation and can vary widely. The earnings are influenced by the CPM (Cost Per Mille) rate, which is the amount an advertiser pays per 1,000 views. The CPM can differ based on factors like viewer demographics and geographic location.
Additionally, video length plays a role in monetization. Articles that are over ten minutes long on platforms like YouTube can have multiple ads inserted, potentially increasing the earnings. However, it's important to note that viewers may find excessive ads annoying, so it's essential to strike a balance between monetization and viewer experience.
Overall, the earnings from articles can be quite unpredictable, and there isn't a fixed formula to determine how much a specific number of views will generate. It varies based on multiple factors, and it's advisable for article creators to focus on creating engaging content while optimizing monetization strategies.
Well it recently occurred to me that the
general public has no accurate concept
of how much articalrs make from the ads
placed on their articals how much do you
think a artical that gets a million views
how much do you think it earns how much
money do you look at your Adsense that
often a artical hits a million views how
much do you think it would make probably
like three thousand dollars I asked
everyone on Instagram how much they
think a million views earns on Artical
and the answers were really all over the
map we've got a lot of people saying a
thousand dollars some people say two
hundred dollars three hundred thousand
five thousand really look at these you
guys it's all over the map from a
hundred dollars so the thirty thousand
dollars people seem to have no clue how
much articalrs make and today I'm gonna
expose exactly how much a million views
can make you from a Artical artical so
here's the interesting thing about
making money on Artical you can have
several different articals with a million
views that make very different amounts
so generally what I found to be the case
on a artical with a million views is that
it makes about two thousand dollars
that's just what I think is the average
and this is for a artical that's under 10
minutes long is monetized and doesn't
have anything really like inappropriate
in it because if it's not
family-friendly as Artical considers it
you're pretty much making nothing so
let's take this artical for example
gymnastics then versus now it got 1.3
million views and we can see it earned
about two thousand dollars so have this
artical only gotten a million views it
only would have made like fourteen
hundred dollars let's take a look at
another one so this artical has 2.2
million views so I know what you guys
are thinking you're like alright this
one probably made like four grand you
guys are gonna be shocked at how much
this made because I was so this artical
two point two million views it only made
seven hundred and forty three dollars
seven hundred forty three dollars
why is that you think well let's let's
see here so the reason for this is this
artical is pretty short so it's only
running one commercial pre-roll ad the
real reason this artical didn't earn that
much money it's because most of the
views are actually from outside the US
so you earn different amounts of money
based on where your viewer is from kind
of weird I know but it's just based on
what advertisers pay you also earn a
different amount based on the age of
your viewers so when we really dive into
what's going on here we see that the CPM
for this artical was a dollar and 60 cents
which is really pretty low your CPM is
the amount that you earn per 1000 views
on a artical so basically if you have a $1
CPM and you get a million views
you earned a thousand dollars Artical
actually takes half of that so really I
only earned 50 cents per thousand views
like that is super low we can see
actually that most of the views were
from India and the CPM there is only
about a dollar and 15 cents compared to
in the US it was about $4 per 1000
viewers from the US there was also a lot
of viewers from the Philippines on this
artical that also had a lower ad rate this
was so unexpected because most of time
my articals are just viewers from the US
Canada Australia so I was shocked by
this and thought it was really
fascinating so like I talked about
location is a big factor in the CPM of
your artical but it's not only that it's
also the topic of your artical if your
artical is family-friendly the age of your
viewer viewers that are older tend to
pay a little better it's simply because
those people just clicking on more ads
buying more stuff so for a while I
thought this was the cap for my channel
I would get between 1 and 2 million
views a month and the Adsense portion of
my channel earned between 2 and 4
thousand dollars Adsense really wasn't
even my main form of revenue I didn't
even look at it that much and I thought
that was pretty much the standard until
one day I uploaded one artical that blew
the rest of these out of the water and
it was this artical about the CEO sent
bird in this next one I'm going to show
you guys I think it's gonna shock you
because it shocked me but in a good way
this time so I made this artical about the
CEO of cent burn I just made it because
I thought it'd be a cool artical I didn't
really think it was gonna earn me that
much at all like I really didn't
and at first the artical barely got any
views but then over time and just
started getting more and more I'm not
really sure how it happened I'm not
kidding after the first day the artical
only had like 8,000 views for my channel
that is really not good so I'm thinking
like whatever this artical is a flop I
guess no one really wants to watch it I
think it's cool but hey you know try
again next week then the artical kind of
just started to pick up speed randomly
you know the Artical algorithm just
doing its thing but now it's at 370
thousand views so based on our math
before we would think that'd be like
seven hundred dollars maybe maybe more
maybe less take a look at this it earned
$3,000
when I saw this I was like what why the
CPM of this artical was a whopping about
$18 that's insanely high for my channel
it's just crazy that this artical got six
times as many views but made a third as
much as the other one so this really
goes to show that making money on
Artical is not all about views it's also
about the watch time of your artical how
long your artical is who is watching your
artical what location they're in all these
different factors come into play but you
really don't need to be getting like 10
million plus views a month to be making
a living on Artical you can get a lot
less views and make more than someone
who's getting 10 million views a month
which is insane and something I didn't
realize for years so this begs the
question I'm sure you all are wondering
how how can you make more on Artical I
kind of figured it out so for the past
month I've been doing an experiment with
my channel and I actually ended up
making about three times as much as my
January earnings so we can see in
January my channel made seventeen
hundred and six dollars and in the past
28 days it's made 6085 from just this
one thing I started doing and I wasn't
getting three times as many views it had
nothing really to do with the amount of
views I only got four hundred thousand
more views are you ready do you guys
wanna know what it is
okay first you have to watch this ad I
know that was cruel I'm sorry but it
will make sense in a second the thing I
did that ended up earning me three times
as much was making articals over ten
minutes long a couple years ago Artical
rolled out with feature that when your
artical is over ten minutes long you can
add multiple ads to that artical so you
can add as many ads as you want actually
I get threw in an ad every 30 seconds
but no one's gonna watch that that's
ridiculous
so I started adding two ads to the
middle of my articals and it's insane it
made a huge difference and I don't say
any of this to brag I really am just
saying it so if your articalr you know
that this is an option that you have a
way that you can increase your revenue
and the articals I made I can pretty
easily make them 10 minutes long like I
had a lot to say about them some articals
you just can't like some sometimes you
just don't have enough to talk about
like I have plenty of articals out of 3
minutes long and how'd I stretch them to
10 minutes
it would have been questionable if it
was good content you can't just add like
a white screen for five minutes of the
artical you know people have to actually
watch to the next ad so you have to make
some kind of entertaining or valuable
content
another thing I've seen people do if
their artical is about eight minutes long
is adding like some bloopers or a
question-and-answer and some people
still enjoy that so I think it's fine to
do that I would say if your artical is
only like two or three minutes long it's
gonna be tough to stretch it to ten
minutes
general though I think this is so
awesome it allows you to spend more on
your articals and justify it so you can
buy that new camera that'll make your
articals better quality or hire a
articalgrapher or whatever it is that's
gonna make your articals better that costs
a little bit more
for example the Sunbird artical cost me
more to make I had to fly my sister and
I to New York pay for a hotel it's been
an entire day filming and then two or
three more editing but since the artical
was over 10 minutes long I pretty much
made all of that back so in the end I
was able to make a artical that was so
much better quality like actually a
really cool artical and people ended up
really enjoying that artical so I'm glad I
did it
if the artical had it made as much back I
really
be inclined to make more of these articals
because I would just be losing money
every time I mean honestly I figured I
would lose money on this artical like I
just wanted to make it to make excited
be a cool artical and look I know as a
viewer the first thing you're gonna
think is more ads that's so annoying no
but really for most articals it's just not
even profitable if you have one ad and
think about it with a regular TV show
you'll have to watch two full minutes of
ads for every five to seven minutes of
actual programming so watching like five
seconds of an ad that you can skip is
really not that bad but I know that it
is a little bit annoying this artical has
been all about money and like I didn't
really mean for that to happen but it's
interesting I guess I don't want this to
come across as just trying to make the
most money from Artical because honestly
I do Artical because I think it's fun
like in reality Artical isn't really the
best way to make money most of the time
like most people don't end up making a
living on it you'll have to stay at it
for years years it is really hard to get
a million views on Artical in a month
still and even if you get to that if
you're not optimizing how much you're
gonna be making if you're making
seventeen hundred a month that's twenty
thousand four hundred a year
let's technically below the poverty line
that's why most articalrs do brand deals
that are doing Artical as like a
full-time thing because making articals
actually is really time consuming I got
really off-topic this artical but
basically if a artical gets a million
views and it's under five minutes long
it probably made like two or three
thousand dollars if it's over ten
minutes long could be four to five
thousand dollars but honestly it's
everywhere in between some people get
like ten thousand some people like that
one artical only got like 350 so really I
guess everyone was right in a way except
be inclined to make more of these articals
because I would just be losing money
every time I mean honestly I figured I
would lose money on this artical like I
just wanted to make it to make excited
be a cool artical and look I know as a
viewer the first thing you're gonna
think is more ads that's so annoying no
but really for most articals it's just not
even profitable if you have one ad and
think about it with a regular TV show
you'll have to watch two full minutes of
ads for every five to seven minutes of
actual programming so watching like five
seconds of an ad that you can skip is
really not that bad but I know that it
is a little bit annoying this artical has
been all about money

Professors Are Being Watched: ‘We’ve Never Seen This Much Surveillance’
University professors across several countries are reporting an unprecedented rise in monitoring of their teaching, research, and public speech, raising concerns about academic freedom and the future of open inquiry. From recorded lectures and classroom informants to digital tracking and social media scrutiny, faculty members say the level of surveillance they now face is unlike anything seen in modern higher education. Civil liberties groups warn that the trend reflects a broader climate of political polarization, national security anxiety, and ideological conflict that is reshaping universities into contested spaces where professors are increasingly treated as potential risks rather than independent scholars. “We’ve never seen this much surveillance of faculty,” said a senior researcher at an academic freedom watchdog organization. “What used to be isolated incidents are now becoming systematic.” Monitoring Inside the Classroom In several recent cases, students have recorded lectures without professors’ knowledge and submitted clips to outside advocacy groups or government agencies, accusing instructors of political bias or inappropriate speech. Some professors say administrators have quietly installed additional classroom recording systems or requested access to lecture content in advance. At a large public university in the United States, a history professor described receiving an email from administrators informing him that his lectures would be reviewed after complaints from anonymous sources. “It felt like I was being interrogated rather than evaluated,” he said. “My course is about political movements. That alone seems to make it suspicious now.” Universities defend some monitoring as part of quality control or compliance with harassment and discrimination policies. But faculty unions argue that the line between oversight and surveillance is being crossed. Digital Surveillance and Social Media Scrutiny Beyond the classroom, professors say their online lives are increasingly under watch. Academic tweets, blog posts, and even private comments in virtual classrooms have been flagged and forwarded to employers or politicians. In one case, a professor specializing in Middle Eastern politics faced an internal investigation after screenshots of a social media post criticizing a foreign government were circulated by a political group. Although no formal wrongdoing was found, the professor said the experience was chilling. “You start thinking twice before speaking,” she said. “That’s the point of surveillance—it creates fear.” Cybersecurity experts note that universities now use software that can track email communications, monitor internal messaging platforms, and analyze lecture recordings for “compliance risks.” While such tools were initially designed for data protection and campus safety, they are increasingly applied to content and behavior. Political Pressure and National Security Concerns Governments in several countries have expanded scrutiny of academic institutions in the name of national security. Laws requiring disclosure of foreign research funding, collaborations, and travel have grown stricter, particularly for scientists and political scholars working on China, Russia, the Middle East, and emerging technologies. In some regions, faculty members must report contacts with overseas colleagues or face penalties. Critics argue these measures blur the line between legitimate security concerns and ideological policing. “Universities are becoming extensions of the security state,” said a legal scholar who studies higher education policy. “That fundamentally changes what universities are supposed to be.” The pressure is not limited to authoritarian countries. Democratic nations have also seen increased political involvement in curriculum decisions and research agendas, especially on topics such as race, gender, war, and foreign policy. Impact on Teaching and Research Many professors report self-censorship as a result of constant scrutiny. Sensitive topics are avoided, controversial authors removed from syllabi, and classroom debates tightly controlled to prevent misunderstandings. A sociology professor said she now records every lecture herself for legal protection. “I need proof of what I actually said,” she explained. “It’s defensive teaching.” Graduate students and junior faculty are especially vulnerable. Without tenure protections, they risk losing jobs or funding if accused of violating vague conduct rules. Some universities have also introduced anonymous reporting systems that allow students or staff to flag instructors for “concerning behavior.” While intended to promote inclusion, faculty groups warn these systems can be weaponized for political or personal grievances. Universities Defend Policies University administrators insist that surveillance measures are not meant to suppress ideas but to ensure safety and accountability. Many point to rising threats, online harassment, and campus tensions as reasons for stronger monitoring systems. “We are responsible for protecting students and staff,” said a university spokesperson. “That includes responding to complaints and maintaining respectful learning environments.” However, transparency remains a key concern. Faculty members often do not know when they are being monitored, how data is used, or who has access to recordings and reports. A Global Trend International academic organizations say the problem is growing worldwide. In Europe, new laws regulating “political neutrality” in classrooms have raised alarms. In parts of Asia and the Middle East, surveillance of professors has long been common, but digital tools have made it far more pervasive. “What’s new is the scale and technology,” said an official from a global education group. “Surveillance used to be physical. Now it’s constant and invisible.” The Future of Academic Freedom Legal challenges are beginning to emerge. Faculty unions and civil rights groups are pushing for clearer boundaries between legitimate oversight and intrusive monitoring. Some courts have ruled that academic speech deserves strong protection, but enforcement remains uneven. For many professors, the fear is not just disciplinary action but the erosion of trust between teachers and students. “The classroom should be a place of curiosity and disagreement,” one professor said. “If everyone is watching everyone else, that disappears.” As universities balance safety, politics, and technology, the question remains whether higher education can preserve its core mission: fostering independent thought in an age of constant observation. The answer may determine not only the future of academia, but the health of democratic debate itself.

The Overlooked Intersections of Education, Cultural Heritage, and Public Service in Society
Education, cultural heritage, and public service often appear as separate fields. Schools focus on learning. Heritage focuses on history and tradition. Public service focuses on helping people. Yet these areas are deeply connected. They shape values, guide behavior, and support communities. When viewed together, their shared purpose becomes clear. At the center of this connection is education, cultural heritage, and public service, a relationship that quietly shapes how societies grow, remember, and care for people. These intersections are often overlooked because they work in subtle ways. They appear in classrooms, museums, libraries, and community programs. They influence how people learn about the past, understand the present, and act for the future. When combined, they create stronger and more informed communities.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
