MISLEADING

This is pretty misleading.

She shows Google results claiming YouTube pays $1,000 to $6,000 per million views, but those numbers are for regular long form videos. Shorts pay far less, usually around $10 to $60 per million views. On top of that, YouTube actively demonetizes low effort, mass produced AI kids content under its inauthentic content policies. Pumping out quick clips with AI tools like Higgsfield is more likely to get a channel flagged than funded. The creator is actually a paid partner for the AI tool featured in the clip. She is using the easy money narrative to get comments and push the software.
