How much money does Naked Science make on YouTube?

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, Naked Science pulls roughly 123K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $123-$494 a month in ad revenue (about $1,481-$5,926 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 Naked Science make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 20 min+ format, ship on Fri. The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 9K views.
