Income reports
What YouTube Studio showed six creators about their revenue.
Each report covers one video in which a creator opened their own YouTube Studio analytics on camera. Software read the numbers from those screens and kept the exact moment each one appears. Nothing is typed in by hand. Every revenue figure is the “Estimated revenue” Studio displays, not a payout.

Revenue per 1,000 views, as Studio displayed it.
One RPM panel per creator, chosen by rule: the panel that shows its own date range, whose figures agree with the rest of the screen, and that covers the most views. The periods are not the same, so this is the range of what creators saw, not a league table.

How the figures are made
Software that reads images (a vision model) reads the Studio cards, panels and charts in each video. Each figure keeps its timestamp, the period it covers and the currency the screen showed, and is matched to a second on-screen figure or sum where one exists. Estimated revenue is YouTube’s estimate, not a payout.
Read the methodEvery figure in one table
The full record table lists all 202public figures from the six creators’ videos, with period, status and the open discrepancies stated next to each one. A seventh video was read and is kept off the public pages; the methodology says why.
Open the full tablePublished by Seokyoung Oh, publisher and data editor. Figures are read by software from each creator's own screen and linked to the moment they appear; no figure is edited by hand.

Corrections
- . The table view under the RPM chart was headed “Estimated revenue”; the values are RPM, and the column now says so.
