Which title patterns actually move the needle

Not a guess - the real view lift of each pattern across 183 uploads: median views with it versus without. This isolates the title from the topic, so you copy what works here and skip what does not - something no other tracker breaks down per channel.

How does NerdScience compare to other education channels?

At 31K median views, NerdScience runs above the typical education channel we track (23K). It is outperforming its niche.

How much money does NerdScience 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, NerdScience pulls roughly 1.1M long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $1,120-$4,479 a month in ad revenue (about $13,437-$53,747 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 NerdScience make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 20 min+ format, ship on Tue, and build titles around its proven words (batman). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 31K views.
