What is Science Magazine'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, Science Magazine pulls roughly 22K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $22-$88 a month in ad revenue (about $263-$1,053 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 Science Magazine make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 10-20 min format, ship on Tue. The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 17K views.
