space and science's estimated YouTube 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, space and science pulls roughly 28K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $28-$110 a month in ad revenue (about $330-$1,321 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 space and science make next?

Copy what already works here, not generic advice: lean on the 20 min+ format, ship on Sat, and build titles around its proven words (uhd, africa, above). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 16K views.
