How much does Vsauce make on YouTube?
Vsauce earns an estimated $3.6K–$9.7K a month from YouTube ads ($44K–$118K a year), from about 4M views a day. That's a Vid0 estimate from public numbers, not YouTube data.
Vid0 estimate from YouTube Data API views, updated 1 Nov 2026. 100% of recent upload views were Shorts.
How the estimate works
- Views a day: Vsauce's total views grew by about 40.5M over the last 10 days of Vid0's daily readings, so about 4M a day across every video, old and new.
- Long-form vs Shorts: 100% of the views on its 12 latest uploads came from Shorts, so the same share of daily views is counted at the Shorts rate.
- RPM: $1–$5 per 1,000 long-form views and $0.03–$0.08 per 1,000 Shorts views. RPM is what a creator keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube's share.
