Motorcycle Content vs Toy Car Content

[Hippo-Drones]

This is not meant to be crass... the income is nothing to celebrate, but very interesting to see the ad revenue stats for motorcycle content vs RC car content.

Obviously the views are low for the RC content as my channel isn't an RC car channel, it is bikes... but very different ad revenue rates between the two genres...

Looks like the RC car has greater money per viewing.

I noticed my steady income on my channel dropped by a third about the time Shorts for pay went live.

Could it be that tired old cliche topic of motovlogging being dead finally be coming true as foretold by just about every motovlogger out there?

Imagine the reaction of bigger motorcycle content only channels losing a third of their revenue...

Looks like it is back to riding the motorcycle for real now...

Dude, that's a sweet RPM! Might be worth a 2nd channel - once it gets monetized!

And you're not crass - the ad money just isn't there for motovlogs. I've seen it in my own ad revenue, kinda nuts, but it is what it is.

FWIW, my ad revenue fell off by 2/3 starting in the Fall, and is just now starting to go up again. Unlike @R-Rated , I haven't seen a decrease since shorts got monetized, but I've seen an increase!

Based on the stats you show, though, I'd guess the AVD isn't too good on the R/C videos, compared to your dirty bike riding. That tells me that the viewers are watching the opening ad roll and then not watching much, whereas you're getting far more ads shown on the motorbike content. If my back-of-the-napkin math is correct, the R/C car content has a 10-fold increase in RPM over motovlog stuff. Dang.

@Drakhen99 sorry I was not clear. The Shorts are not what is reducing the big YouTube bucks. The monetary amounts started falling just about the same time.

I guess we just don't appeal to rich "get lean like me" advertisers, only the cheap ones.

No no, I think I read you loud and clear - your income dropped when shorts went monetized. Mine... did not, curiously enough. Unless I'm reading both comments wrong, and now I'm just confused. I'm gonna go lie down for a bit.

Correlation is not causation is my point. But it is bedtime so you can finish the school project before cartons tomorrow

Gotcha. Love me some cartoons! Wait, was that supposed to be an insult? Or calling me young for some reason? Missed it by THAT much!

No insult. I am a big cartoon man myself. Did you know there is an all GI Joe YouTube channel from Hasbro?

That sounds good - I was never a huge fan of GI Joe though.

No... but I did find it funny.

Anthropomorphized animals are almost always hilarious. And no, I didn't need spell check to spell anthropomorphized right.

I wonder if witches ever use spell check?

Only medium this time. The customers complained you got too chewy a few lifetimes ago.

Thanks. Losing that Witchelin star was a bad mark on my rep. Man, the 1600s were hard out there for a witch.

How do you know when you see a rich witch?

She is flying on a vacuum cleaner.

Well that escalated quickly!

I didn't notice a change in ad revenue over the winter period, but that is possibly because I uploaded a video that has performed well above average for my channel that carried the difference I am guessing.

I think the RC vid gets bad retention as it is currently views from my regular subs, who are not into the build at all, so either skip through it, or click on and then click off soon after. The RC vids will do well around Christmas time for repeated years and will start getting better retention then too as they will get found by people actually wanting to watch the content after getting the kit for Christmas etc. That has happened consistently on my Tamiya Hornet build series of videos, and is a nice perk for the channel over the winter months. The Hornet videos get around 50p per 100 views.
