Views vary wildly between videos so I took my last year's stats to average it out a bit. Looks like the answer is around 10p.
Forgive me, I'm not super familiar with world currencies... is that 10 GBP?
Hah, no, ten pence, as in one hundred pence to a GBP ๐
Ahhh that makes more sense... that's about 0.13 USD. It's interesting to me, because I would gladly pay that much per video (or more!) if it meant I didn't have to watch ads.
Of course that model doesn't exactly lend itself to mindlessly clicking through videos (which is what Youtube wants). I know there are other video platforms out there... do you know of any that charge users per view?
Thanks for doing the math!
Honestly no idea, I don't know much about alternative platforms at all. Only just started to look into other options myself!
I'd never framed it in terms of price per view but I do love a good stat so no worries lol, was interesting.
