So sure, okay, ~18-33k to start, but beyond that, who knows but D&P. It's not going to just fall down to how many views they get (it matters, but it'll just be a starting point), but also how good their team is at negotiating. Maybe their spons "only" average ~600K views, but depending on what their advertiser's goals are, maybe that's plenty to pay out a good chunk of cash. I don't know if it's a thing to share their past information, but if they knew how many downloads they got on a previous spon video, could they use that information to negotiate higher rates with another sponsor? Like if they're similar products? like both app games? idk.

Here are some american-based people sharing some numbers, which might be helpful? My kink is people talking about actual numbers when discussing salary/income.

^ This is more about CPM stuff, but I still found it interesting. They start talking $ around 16:40
She talks about some actual numbers (well guesstimates, but at least based on her experience) about how much a video with over 1M views might make
(don't have time to do any timestamps for more interesting things, but they don't talk about it for that long)


Starting at 9:20 - talking about a lost brand deal: $80,000 for 6 instagram posts, 6 YT shoutouts (shoutouts, not full videos?) & 6 work days.

Quotes that make my soul leave my body just contemplating them:
"He was scared that I was going to judge him and tell him he's not getting a good enough deal."
"If you tell that to us, tell that to me, I'd be like 'Jason, you're getting kinda undercut there, you should be making at least another $50,000."

I don't have time to re-listen to it all right now (I'm v busy and important), but I think he goes on to say it was a spon intended for his family channel (unless that was a different deal I'm thinking of, in which case nevermind), which has significantly less subscribers than his main channel. And he's "only" got 1.3M on instagram (now. and this was from last year, so it would have been less then). I know advertising for family things is a different ad market or whatever, but yeah. Trying to figure out how much anybody could or did make for something is basically like looking at their socialblade and trying to figure out which earnings they're making based on their estimations, in Jason Nash's case, anywhere from 3.3K to 53.5K per month lol.

I'd still totally love a DAPG Dark Souls series but I know that will never happen (.....unless I become a millionaire and #spon it?)

I'm so happy to get even something as small as this, maybe they will really continue the stories.

u know that picture dan showed in his Living My Truth video, where he's on his laptop on the couch, under his blanket? phil took that pic and he was also resting his head on dan's lap. nobody can change my mind, especially after all of the candid bf ig stories we got on tour from them. phil takes pictures of dan when he's not looking because he! is! pretty!

Not to disagree- I believe that they spend time on that nice long couch being all cozy-
but that photo was Dan reclining in an arm chair, not the end of the couch. Phil still took the photo though

This has me cackling! With all due reverence to the message the tweet was meant to convey, it otherwise looks like it could have been intentionally created to troll Dan. "RIP Daniel Howell, Age 23." "Like many others, he hasn't been remembered." I hope Dan got a kick out of it.

I suspect he was mentioned because whoever wrote the tweet accidentally used "@" instead of "#" or thought that "@" worked like a hashtag for people's names. These kinds of organizations don't necessarily have people who are the most familiar with the Twitter running their account.

no umm i had a quick scroll through their twitter and they've done the exact same thing with patrick stewart, harry styles, and harry potter (@jk_rowling for that one). so i think they're hoping people are scrolling through their faves' @ mentions and find these tweets, which has clearly worked in this case. a slightly questionable social media strategy imo, even if they mean well
