Any artist royalty statement. (I manage a number of indie musicians). Same goes for Spotify. You are talking pence for hundred's of thousands of "views".

Probably costs more to account it to the artist than the actual royalty.

"Youtube partners will make in the range of $2.5 to $5 per 1000 video views The most popular stars will earn $5 per 1000 views. This can really add up if you have 1 million views per video. Nigahiga for example, will earn $5000 per video they put up. This range can vary depending on number of advertising clicks."

"Shane Dawson's estimated earnings from YouTube advertising on his video clips in past 12 months: $315,000"

I'm sure it varies wildly based on content, how the users got there, etc

That doesn't in anyway match with the actual income labels and artists I deal with are seeing.
