Where viewers likely are

Based on the channel's language and country (English, based in the US). Ads pay far more in the US, UK, Canada and Australia than elsewhere.
Holds back
Mostly Shorts views

Long 17%Shorts 83%
Shorts pay about $0.13 per 1,000 views, a small fraction of long videos, so the same views earn much less.
Holds back
