>I believe the reason this is so hard to find out is that it's in their contracts that they can't disclose their earnings publicly.
YouTube isn't exactly enthusiastic about people sharing their revenue data, but they're not stopping anyone. Most creators choose not to, purely for reasons of commercial sensitivity. Some do, most notably CGP Grey and Dave Jones of EEVBlog. Dave Jones had an average eCPM of $1.36 pre-adpocalypse; CGP Grey's post-adpocalypse video had an estimated eCPM of $1.11.
