In this informal, self‑referential video, Antonio Moniz explains why he’s revisiting the topic of YouTube earnings after previously moving on to other subjects. He notes that viewers frequently ask about how much money big YouTubers make, and now that he himself earns revenue, he can share concrete figures rather than estimates. He selects two of his own videos at random and displays their lifetime view counts—351,000 views and 48,000 views—along with the corresponding earnings of $275 and $44. Moniz references the common rule of thumb that roughly $1 is earned per 1,000 views, emphasizing that this is an approximate figure that can vary. Throughout, he adopts a casual, humorous tone, makes meta‑comments about his attire and the video’s structure, and repeatedly acknowledges that the content may be “boring” but is answering audience curiosity. The video concludes with a brief sign‑off, implying that the presented numbers satisfy the audience’s primary interest.

So you're probably wondering where I— what— wha— So you're probably wondering why I'm wearing a hat, and it's to distract you from this ugly t-shirt. Um, actually, I don't know why I'm wearing one, to be honest. But when I first made this channel, I used to make videos about YouTube money, in particular how much money big YouTubers made. And I kinda wanted to go back to my roots. You know, I get comments all the time saying, "Why'd you stop talking about YouTube money?" And there's no real reason why. I just moved on to other things. But yeah, so I'll make a video. Like, now that I'm big enough, I can just make videos about how much I make. And like, that's actual facts. You know, when I was talking about other people, it's just estimates because I didn't really know. But now that I actually make YouTube money, I can just, you know, show you how much money this video makes and that video. And you know, educate you if you're interested. I don't know. So yeah, ninja! I missed. I'm not doing this over again. Insert generic YouTuber intro here. So in this video we're going to be talking about how much money I made off of this one video. And that sounded weird. In this video we're going to be talking about this video. I don't know, ignore that. Yes, how much I made off of this and how much I made off of this. I just picked two random videos, no particular reason for these two. And this is the lifetime views of it. So I'm just doing this because I get questions about YouTube money and I don't really care to talk about it. So, care, like, I don't really care if I talk about it. Like, I'm not one of those people that try to hide it or anything. I'm just, yeah, let's go. So, 351,000 views, $275. Beast, you always say 1,000 views equals $1. Yes, roughly $1. It can be lower, you know, this could be in the $400 or it could be in the $200 like mine is. Just happened to end up that way. Oh well. If one of you guys would have watched this video for just an extra minute, it would have 666,666 views— or minutes. I'm stuttering all over the place. Probably should restart. Don't feel like it. So yeah, if you saw this video You should feel ashamed of yourself because if you would have watched it one more minute, this would say 6— oh yeah, it'll have— yeah, okay. So next one, this woman got just under 48,000 views and $44. Like I said, roughly $1 per 1,000 views. Roughly, not exact, not exact, roughly. And you can see that, see all the stats. Uh, yeah, I don't know why you'd want to see this stuff down here, pretty boring. That's the money, that's all anyone ever seems to care about. There you go. Boom boom, bang bang. All right, is that all y'all wanted to see? I think that's all y'all wanted to see. Hopefully you enjoyed. See y'all later.
