For Youtube, I think it's about $5       per 1000 views, with a minimum payout of $100. To reach 20,000 views (for the       minimum payout) would sound relatively easy in this world-wide internet age.               I could have garnished my first $100 for this little sampler I created:       https://youtu.be/AENmsEVltcQ ..but that was 11 years ago. LOL              There is probably also an element of validation going on to feel important.       Maybe even some people are hoping "to be discovered" by some entertainment       mogul and attain greater celeb status.              --- tg2fido gate v0.6.1        * Origin: Telegram to fido gate by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 123/131 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 460/58 777 1124 5858 633/0 267 280 281 412 640/1138       SEEN-BY: 640/1321 1384 712/848 5054/30       PATH: 460/58 640/1384 633/280 229/426           |
