Youtube ad rates seem really high for the personal finance dudes. Graham Stephan and Andre Jikh come to mind.
I think that genre allows for showing those scammy get rich quick motivational guru type ads, which pay well. Everyone else has to be sponsored by ExpressVPN and CuriosityStream.

Adds are based on the viewer, I occasionally get adds for Bentley when I watch back the streamed AP games I play in.
I also get a lot of Farage's new presumably penny stock product adds ( just let those play out to maker sure he's paying out)
What strikes me as odd is those super low quality portrait videos with uncanny valley synthesised like I am going to buy that crap?

And ridge wallet, apparently.
Mark Brown, of Game Maker's Toolkit, puts out vids on Youtube that get a couple hundred thousand views (1 or 2 vids a month). So he could theoretically get a couple hundred from those. But his Patreon following nets him a couple thousand a month ($11k!)
When you have niche content you can end up getting way more per subscriber if people feel your content is worth it.
