Pareto explains the curve, but the monetary rewards are linear to where you are on that curve. Perhaps a small example will clarify.
Pareto Curve (more or less) of Y values on index X:
[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,10,50,500,7000,9000000]
Index 30 is "off the chart"
Now revenue:
$$*index
The correlation is linear (basically). The top youtuber who is a kid who reviews toys, makes the majority of his 22mil from ads, same as you or I would with <100 views per video.
