Based on the channel's language and country (English speaking audience). Ads pay far more in the US, UK, Canada and Australia than elsewhere.
Neutral
Shorts in the mix

Long 80%Shorts 20%
Shorts pay about $0.17 per 1,000 views, a small fraction of long videos, so the same views earn much less.
Holds back
Videos under 8 minutes

Below 8 minutes YouTube only shows ads before and after, so each view pays less.

Views from the last 30 days are rebuilt from each public video's views and age, cut to the views YouTube pays on, then priced with niche, audience and video length ad rates from published creator data. We run this 2,000 times with realistic variation and show the middle half. Data read October 31, 2026, 11:23 UTC.
