Which title patterns actually move the needle

Not a guess - the real view lift of each pattern across 180 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.

TechHut'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, TechHut pulls roughly 206K long-form views a month from recent uploads, which at a typical $1-4 RPM works out to an estimated $206-$826 a month in ad revenue (about $2,477-$9,907 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 TechHut 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 (linux, guide, server). The median is the bar - the goal of every upload is to clear 40K views.
