Now, let’s talk about Nemzer’s total earnings from his channel.
According to the analytics provided in the video, he achieved a staggering 1.3 billion views across all his videos. Fans had logged an impressive 16 million hours on his content, and his channel proudly housed two million subscribers.
In total, this adds up to $157,386.45 earned from his YouTube clips. Incredible!
“That’s not too shabby,” the social media influencer noted. “But why did I leave? I wanted to move away from gaming to help entrepreneurs with their YouTube channels. So don’t forget to subscribe.”

Nemzer’s straightforward video has received praise from thousands of YouTube users, many applauding him for his honest revenue disclosure.
“Thanks for being clear and truthful; that’s still an incredible achievement,” responded one viewer.
Another commented: “Thanks for sharing this; it’s vital for me to see if it’s worth continuing with YouTube.”
However, some expressed how ‘humbling’ these payment amounts appeared.
They remarked: “$157k isn’t insignificant, but for 1.3 billion views, I expected it to be over $300k.
“I thought a video with 4-5 million views would yield over $10k,” they added. “Very enlightening.”
A similar sentiment was echoed by another: “I make significantly more on shorts with fewer views than you did. I had expected hundreds of thousands, honestly.”
So why do revenue payments vary so widely?
According to IFTTT, understanding how YouTube’s payment system operates sheds light on this issue.
To receive payouts from the popular video-sharing platform, creators must enroll in and be eligible for the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
Eligibility for the YPP requires at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time within the past year.
Once accepted, creators can monetize their videos through ads, sponsorships, and other avenues, as noted by the site.
However, earnings per view can differ significantly and are influenced by various factors.
These include the geographic location of viewers, the advertiser’s budget, and the types of ads displayed in the videos.
Thus, IFTTT states that YouTube typically pays between $0.01 and $0.03 per view, but this is only a rough guideline and can vary widely.
Additionally, YouTube retains 45 percent of ad revenue, leaving the creator with 55 percent. Still not bad, right?
So if you’re striving for success on your channel and aren’t quite matching Nemzer’s numbers, don’t fret! Your moment will come!
