I'm thinking of becoming an EN clipper because I live in a third world shithole but I don't think I'm autistic enough to watch every stream to find good moments and edit them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11930091
It really depends. Bigger ones are making good money, but the smaller ones depending on how much effort they put into clipping (because yes, if they add subtitules and edits a 5 minute clip can turn into a 1-2 hours job) are still getting shit hourly rates. Then again there are some bigger channels who actually are a group of people, which means that each does less work but also get less money, so still good hourly rate but not rolling on cash for an hour of work a day type of deal

[Anonymous No.]

>>11928780
Too much. Some clippers are based. But the majority are sweaty 3rd worlders who apply clickbaits and algorithm boosting tactics to rake in that juicy ad revenue.

You don't need to watch the streams. That's not what these people do... They scourge the comments after a stream for timestamps and then make clips out of that. That's why you won't find clips from channels who don't have a regular timestamper fan for example.

Imo your scenario is more desirable, watchtime is just a matter of time before reached, and I'm pretty sure the anon with 8k watch time under his belt feels salty about his best videos not being monetized. while you might feel that you are doing unpaid work but once you hit 4k hours your videos are worth 100% their watch time.

You can get it monetized, not sure if youtube gives you less $ per 1k views though, I would assume "no" and long videos only inflating that number by having more than one ad.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11932078
That hasnt been the case in years. It used to be that only 10 minute videos were eligible for monetization but nowadays even 2 second videos work

You're definitely doing it wrong if you want to make money from it. Just do the following:

>Rip an entire stream from Gura or Kronii
>Don't actually watch the stream. Clip moments from those who have timestamped in the comments or use leddit to look for popular posts of certain moments
>Add a sexualized thumbnail to instantly get the attention of coomers
>always put a quote from the clip on the thumbnail itself (or better you have to misquote it altogether because then even more people will click it)
>make the title of the video a question or a statement (for example, She said WHAT?? / X thinks this is LEWD / "Oh no..." "Uh oh"... "YABE...")
>tag other vtubers and Hololive members in the video so it shows up in more searches
>make regular community posts containing lewd artwork with a pointless question, or random polls to gain youtube interaction points which manipulates the algorithm. Then do the exact same poll the following week.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11932354
I need to check on that, as in if shorter videos get less 2 unskippable ads at the beginning, but not really. imagine the boon of having a 10 minutes long video is having a mid-roll ad at the 8 minute mark and people stop watching by minute 5, you are still not perciving said extra revenue.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11932102
youtube doesnt pay for adblock views so it's way less

[Anonymous No.]

>I translate 20 minute long videos
Ain't nobody got time or attention span for that. I always skip "clips" that are 15+ minutes unless it's a translation of a skit the JPs or IDs did. I never watch Minecraft clips over 10 minutes. It just means you're not editing enough filler shit or you're trying for a midroll ad which is pointless because most run adblock.

[Anonymous No.]

wouldn't rock have an infinite attention span

Clipniggas, make you clips under 5 minutes in you can. Quantity over quality but still do as accurate a translation as you can. And if you clip ENs and don't translate them or even sub them, kill yourself.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11932650
I'm fine with EN clips that does highlight or multi POVs but just 30sec trash is whatever. Some of the clippers are members that donate constantly. I consider them as good simps

I'll be honest, I want a balance. sure, I want to have 150-250 usd per month so I can buy shitty figurines for my room, but I also want people to enjoy my oshi as much as I do, that's why I mostly do long ass summary videos. and I can get said amount with my current strategy (only 1 week monetized so far) but it might be even more overworked than a regular job, just with the benefit I'm at home watching my oshi. But I really need to leave my channel up and running nicely before january since I'm going back to uni and I really want to buy shitty figurines with ad revenue while only doing minimal work, kek.
Thanks for the advice, anon.

>>11932515
I don't clip minecraft, I love watching it when my oshi is involved but I feel that the random VC collabs she had while not streaming her POV are best enjoyed if you watch them in full and not just the 1-2 minutes of discord sex

This will give you an idea of how much they are earning. In short if they continue having good weeks they earn in excess of $15-$20k per week. Just for context, the average weekly income for an American is $1k. These people are not even American, but 3rd worlders in countries who earn very little per week. So to tl;dr these guys are rich.

he is using social blade. don't remember the low end but I think it gives a range for 0.25-4.00$ per 1k views

[Anonymous No.]

Real talk - I made around $600 for 2 million views total in September.
I run a regional (non-eigo) translation channel though, and the CPR here is around 3 times lower than in Europe and US, so you can do the math. Mind you most views are unmonetised because adblock. You gotta have crazy views, like 50-100k plus per clip to make real bank

[Anonymous No.]

>>11932735
Who is she? If it's someone I like, I would actually like watching 20 minute videos. Literally the entire reason I watch clips is because my moonspeak isn't close to good enough yet to understand the stream raw.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11934214

It's only illegal if it's not transformative AND the original content creator chooses to go after them. As it stands, there isn't like an "official clips" channel, and there damn sure isn't an "official translations" channel. Since there aren't, it's clearly more beneficial to keep clippers around as it's simply more exposure.

I think the idea is that all they do is clip stuff that already happened that other people did and make money on it. It's basically 'free' money, all they have to do is upload it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11933357
Payment depends on several factors, including how many ads are shown (if 50% of viewers run adblock, that video will only pay on the 50% who saw the ad). Another thing is, what country is the person from who is viewing the ad? They might get an ad from a company in their country, if they're from a poor 3rd world, the company who bought the ad will not pay as much because their customers don't have as much money as someone living in burgerland or potatoland.

Your best chance is to wait for another debut wave and latch onto one talent specifically. You better be good at guessing which talents will blow up.
Do separate channels for different talents.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11934544
You best believe it is easy to go after them once they do something actually stupid though. Something like actively ruining the image of a talent with misleading content will definitely make the people in charge angry enough to come down on you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11936678
Yeah that seems like the logical thing to do. For now, I'll try to do mid length translation videos because there aren't any active channels that translate vtubers to my language. I'll probably get 100 views max but at least I'll improve my editing skills.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm annoyed that I'm giving advice to someone that would make the exact type of clip content I despise, but if money is on the table someone might as well get it.

[Anonymous No.]

I watch a Twitch streamer who used to be a youtuber whose 10 min videos got 300-500k views on average and he says his 4hr long vods that barely get 20-30k views make a lot more. The reason they do it is because its mainly Seaniggers channels and if they get $10 out of it its worth it for them, just like the Venezuelans selling gold in MMO's.

[Anonymous No.]

EN clippers are the fucking worst; no effort, 1 minute videos, barely any editing and no subs. If you're gonna clip EN, at least put JP subs or do some form of editing that is not just zoom ins or the vine boom effect lol.

Given youtube pays most for watchtime these days and rarely do clips even reach the 11 minute mark that gets you into the decent ad revenue?
I doubt even the occasional viral clip that hits the million+ view mark has very impressive payouts
Even real youtubers get most of their money from either patreon or by shilling trash products like skillshare or raycon earbuds at the beginning of their videos
Adsense hasn't been a serious money maker since 2010 (they cut adsense payouts in half in 2011 and there's been at least two further cuts since then following 2 "adpocalypses" where advertisers pulled out of youtube en masse and only returned when google lets them pay less for ad space)

you gotta do this shit consistently even if you're not getting good views for weeks, that's how you settle into the algorithm. like even one missed day is a debuff already. other than that it's just following whatever's popular if you're in it for the views. a lot a of new channels made it when the council appeared, so w/e the next big thing is you gotta go all in.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>11941357
good luck bro, getting consistent 1k is already not too shabby. maybe try and copy w/e tags the big channels use, no one really knows if those help but couldn't hurt. and i'm sure you know that a good title and a thumbnail is like 50% of why people click, so you gotta do what you gotta do. also if you already got the community tab spam that art daily, that also helps the algorithm to pick you up

[Anonymous No.]

>>11941569
