YouTube rewards creators more than any other platform. However they're ruthless about the subscriber demographics. A few thousand subscribers is enough to become Ramen profitable [1] if they are high income people from high income countries.

Uhhh no, you need well over 100k subscribers and videos getting consistently thousands of views to make 'Ramen profitable' money. And even that is tenuous as inflation just keeps jacking up the cost of ramen for everyone.
