All you need to know in 1 visual, and yes that's monthly, not yearly :

Compare that to the average teacher in most countries, including countries like Finland or Luxembourg which pay their teachers quite well.
Is that an average/median OnlyFans creator, or one of the ones who are considered successful?
Edit: Oh, that's actually the creator from the post. TBH that seems like really intimate information, in a different way than whatever she's probably doing on OnlyFans.
To compare this to music streaming, I have a couple of tracks with ~4 million listens, and they each made ~$20.
Her name is crossed out in the post, but not her screenshots….
Weird.
Also why we hiding the name of the YouTuber? Presumably they actually want people to find their content otherwise they wouldn't have uploaded it.
This self-censoring epidemic is getting stupid.
The channel is real:
pornhub.com/zara-dar
(And I don't want that other site in my history, so I'm not looking it up.)
oh yeah, only way Im browsing youtube is with a vpn and incognito on
lol
This is between stages 3 and 4:
wiki/Enshittification
The fourth stage is to run away with the money, leaving stockholders and investors with a failed company in their hands which they can't bring back from the dead because both users and business partners hate it.
stage 5: revolution - overthrow the oppressive corporate system; nationalize all monopolies, split them into different smaller companies, give those companies to the workers who will collectivize them. seriously!
Just watched the whole video. She explained chemistry so well
Not available in several states.
i really wish someone would makes a great youtube alternative that pays $1-5 cpm, but DOESN’T shut down like blip or vidme. it DOESN'T have to be a cooprative, but it should. seriously!
I tend to prefer creators who do the donation model (e.g. Patreon). The advertisement and sponsorship models create bad incentives. The donation model can too, but it's preferable, IMO.
Storing videos, and streaming them without latency is a huge problem. Specifically if you also have to process for different resolutions and such for different devices.
Edit: I don't know how true it is now, but in the past YouTube would have local servers and specific agreements with ISPs for higher bandwidth for them in many countries.
It's also quite expensive. YouTube only broke even for over a decade after Google got their hands on it, and Google can afford to host the servers, and manage distribution themselves.
A new player would find it much harder in today's landscape. When YouTube was made, it had the advantage that of not having that many viable competitors. That's no longer the case today.
good work censoring one of the names
She's literally a public figure posting for money. You can see her name below. Obviously the person who censored it doesn't understand the topics of her content.
Having to use a VPN to learn about neural networks feels somewhat dystopian.
omfg i remember running into this video like about a year ago. legit good study material :^] (no but fr better than some of my professors). There are also cybersecurity guides but ehh.. they all stopped posting.
Doesn't seem like she is doing this but watching a coding tutorial with a topless girl presenting it would be much more fun. I wonder if there is a market for this
True story.
A while back I needed to learn how to tie a necktie in a double Windsor knot. Looked for some videos.
Found one with a hot girl in lingerie showing me how.
I watched it twelve times, then found another video with an old man demonstrating.
Was the old man in lingerie too?
Narrator: He was
I walked into that one, didn't I?
Take your upvote, you magnificent swine.
Decades ago ago there was a series of videos of girls teaching calculus. For example they had a girl lay down on her back and then described how to use integrals to determine the area of her boobs.

This is another sign of how youtube's story of "we've never made a profit" is bogus. More and more organisations are advertising on youtube, youtube is pushing the limits on the amount of advertising that viewers can stand & at the same time they've started paying creators less.
It looks like they've really started abusing their market position in the last few years: more income and less expenditure. And it's probably no coincidence that there are no financial figures for youtube alone.
If they've never paid taxes then they must never have turned a profit.
Checkmate.

She's very suggestive in her choice of dress in most of these videos that are on her pornhub though, so there's that.
Oh I just checked her channel on yt and apparently she's an onlyfans creator now, so yeah.

Dunno if my math is wrong, but i think she made more money from youtube than pornhub. So for this particular case youtube is still better besides the low cpm. So im not sure where we going with that. PH ca. 33$ and YT ca. 340$
WTF I had no idea the CPM had gotten that low. $1 per thousand views for however many ads are in each video is practically nothing.
The more resistant to clicking ads we get the less each ad is worth to the corporate ad buyer and the more ads the services want to jam in to get their profits.
The part I struggle to understand is why corporate ad buyers are okay with the fraud that the big tech companies seemingly routinely get caught on. Famous example being pivot to video on Facebook where they just cooked the books to sell the concept.

You gotta get a million views to earn a thousand bucks?!
That has been true for a while. Ever since "the adpocalypse". I'm surprised you missed it because it felt like every YouTube creator was complaining about it for an entire year ( which I'm not really against, I just don't give a shit about YouTube inside baseball).
That's why every video now has " brought to you by... Whatever" in the middle of it.

Hence articles like this bother me:
https://www.axios.com/2025/12/13/joy-reid-leaving-corporate-media
YouTube, Instagram and TikTok…
That’s the trap. These mega platforms feel like “liberating” creative outlets, but they take basically all the ad revenue and hand out scraps; the absolute bare minimum to keep creators around. And that ratio shrinks as the monopoly grows.
Yet creators, even journalists trained to sniff out profiteering, go in blind to that.
And yes, I get it. “Just don’t use them,” is much harder said than done.
…But they could be a little more critical of their platform, like this lady.

I know there are gamer girls on sites like Fansly and OnlyFans that stream their gaming sessions in the same way they would on Twitch. I wonder what the engagement and income is for them on those sites versus Twitch or YouTube.
EDIT: I just watched Zara Dar's PornHub video on Loss Functions. Her delivery is a tad robotic but the content is informative.
