Very good chance most of the money is made from very few people. If you got a cut of money from advertisers targeting you, my guess is it’s be quite a bit over 5 bucks. Especially in an election year.

Yeah $5 is the cost of a couple clicks or scrolling past 200-300 ads.

On Google that's maybe one click, probably half a click.
