how these YT creators make so much money…
I think it starts with a very generous definition of "a view."
Then there's different rates for different viewers: https://proton.me/blog/what-is-your-data-worth-to-google

Without erroneous speculation the numbers become trivial, pitiful, degrading...
I'm more interested in ¥4.5 billion for 335 million views - are the actors really getting over ¥13 (8 cents) per view? Are the channel owners even averaging that? YouTube doesn't (usually) even pay 1/8th of that.
I didn't realize my 'trivial creations' required a full thesis review from you.
Who keeps lingering in conversations they should’ve put behind themselves eons ago?
If my ego has a gravitational pull, I suggest you stop orbiting it.
You remind me of little doodles I would do on my physics assignments back then, irrelevant comets in the orbital calculations.
Your failing grade has no negative impact on my life... caring would be the ignorant response.
I‘d probably give it a failing grade.
And after age 19 or so, I wouldn't care.
As I just wrote elsewhere - that "lifelong sentence to poverty" was, largely, a misconception of the world held by children who haven't experienced how things actually work in larger society - only listened to what the academic keepers of paper titles have told them. Ivan Illich isn't far wrong: https://rmst202.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2022/04/illich_deschooling-society.pdf
Already, you can tell 'em "stop using em-dashes and other AI tells" — and they will.
The key is for the detector to be the screener, innocent until proven guilty, and a screener tool with 7% failure rate is not proof.
I had student loans, luckily they only amounted to 4-5 months' gross income - lucky because scholarships stepped up and I only had to take a loan for one year instead of all six.
I got news for you: you can have all the credentials in the world available from the best Universities, and when a place isn't hiring, they aren't hiring. I've gone job hunting in Melbourne Florida after Columbia burnt up on re-entry, the entire town wasn't hiring - that's not about me, they weren't hiring anyone.
I interviewed in Manhattan with a fresh Honors degree from a good school, the employment agents there dumped all over me about how worthless I was, until... I wandered into an office where the interviewer had a glass table, she looked down through it and saw my shoes were freshly shined, my silk tie was bright red ($2 from a street vendor), and I had a goofy-trendy $50 haircut that was in-style, she gushed: "oh, I know exactly who will hire you: Kidder Peabody, you'll so fit right in." She barely glanced at my resume' "you do computer stuff, right? Yeah, they're always looking for more computer guys, they're just gonna love you!" Transcripts were never mentioned.
After .com hit, any remotely computer related degree, straight out of school was a ticket to more than double what I made starting out with the best computer degree for .com, those kids left school making more than my boss with 25 years experience was making 5 years' earlier.
Market gets saturated, hiring stops again. It's different in different fields, but still much the same: cycles. Personal referrals beat the HR screening circus. The place I work today, I had applied to 4 times in the previous 15 years, HR never even called me back. Personal referral got me a work from home spot at a company this company ended up buying, since they bought me I bypassed the HR filters. Once I was past the HR filters they offered my an 8 month salary signing bonus to stay with them at least 1 year, my base pay has increased faster than inflation for 12 years straight now, and the annual bonus runs about 2 months salary.
I'm not revealing any useful "secrets" here... truth is: the system sucks, when it's not blowing chunks. But, that's the world - and trust me when I tell you: academics A) don't know everything about how the rest of the world works, and B) what they do know they tend to distort for their students in various ways, for various reasons.
