What is IBM Technology's net worth and estimated earnings?

Nobody outside the channel sees the real figure, and ad revenue is only part of it - sponsorships and merch often dwarf it.

Treat it as a ballpark, not a payslip - real creator income varies wildly, and this ignores the back catalogue.

What should a channel like IBM Technology make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 10-20 min format, ship on Sun. The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 16K views.
