How much does GamingScan make? (estimated)

Nobody outside the channel sees the real figure, and ad revenue is only part of it - sponsorships and merch often dwarf it. But from public view counts, GamingScan pulls roughly 313K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $313-$1,254 a month in ad revenue (about $3,762-$15,047 a year). Treat it as a ballpark, not a payslip - real creator income varies wildly, and this ignores the back catalogue.

What should a channel like GamingScan make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the under 5 min format, ship on Mon. The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 81K views.
