Balldo, I have some MAJOR contradicting assertions as to how much money the clip channel may be pulling in. On one hand, I see this.It's a waste of time anyway, the clip channel gained popularity with the Rekieta thing, but they squandered that opportunity because their streaming model is to cater to paypigs like Metokur Masochist or the guy who makes them watch things slow or whatever, it's now starting to fall off.
They also have to split the advertising money 3 ways and you can tell the editor is in full control of the channel and likely created the account since it's listed as being in Ireland.
On the other hand, I see this on their social blade.
Obviously one or both of these are an order of magnitude off. Which is the more credible frame of reference? Or are both incredibly faulty mechanisms and a better frame of reference is needed? I killed a 45 minute effort post because of this contradiction.
Added in edit: I am leaning more towards the latter, because even the "safe edgy" of the clip channel is not going to be high advertiser preference, as they'd clearly rather advertise on legitimately wholesome and mainstream channels. This is only an educated guess, not an informed position.
Added in second edit: It appears that doubling or tripling the social blade is more accurate for a first world country, as the worldwide stats are based on the fact that a third world channel gets a lot less dollahs per view, as their ads do not reach those with deep pockets. I'll use 2.5X social blade estimate as a decent estimator for now. It bears noting that this is BEFORE YT's 30% cut and whatever taxes they pay. Based on this, I guesstimate the channel nets just shy of 60K/yr before taxes, after YT cut, which is just shy of 20K per person. 20K for flaked, 20K for A and A. Add this to the estimated 40K from Kick, we have roughly 60K + gumroad earnings + superchat earnings - taxes.
Added in yet another edit: I do recall them verbally saying they paid Flaked a grand a month at one point. This may or may not be current. If Flake's cut is only 12K, that increases A and A's respective earnings by 4K.
