> $13.04 per thousand faked views

I thought the usual payout was an order of magnitude lower than that.

Something like 1$ per thousand views

Probably $13.04 is what network takes for 1k views... publishers get scraps

I seriously doubt the order of magnitude is right.

I'd really like someone with monetized videos to give some real input on this.

I used to work on an online video platform where we were selling some 30-second unskippable video ads for £20CPM, so order of magnitude seems right to me
