What is PeanutButterGamer'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, PeanutButterGamer pulls roughly 2.1M long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $2,064-$8,256 a month in ad revenue (about $24,768-$99,072 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 PeanutButterGamer make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 10-20 min format, ship on Tue, and build titles around its proven words (hacking). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 1.6M views.
