His youtube has 2.5m views. If he got a penny per view towards his medical bills ...
Oh, wait! He has ZeroCare, doesn't he? ... less seee .. his deductible is probably about $25k, so a penny per view would probably do it !
Doesn't work like that. Adsense is how Google pays people for commercials aired over someone's videos. They use a number called "RPM" which changes over the year but it boils down to dollars per 1000 views. It can be as low at 50 cents or as much as $4. I've found it averages just under $1.
2.5 million views is worth about $2500 bucks. More if the advertised items are "clicked through". Popular videos also get better ads that pay more, so a super popular video might earn several dollars per 1000 views.
