How does Late Science compare to other education channels?

At 12K median views, Late Science sits below the typical education channel we track (23K) - there is headroom.

What is Late Science'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. But from public view counts, Late Science pulls roughly 361K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $361-$1,445 a month in ad revenue (about $4,334-$17,338 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 Late Science make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 20 min+ format, ship on Thu, and build titles around its proven words (james). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 12K views.
