Yeah, you're definitely on the right track. All that information of search habits is valuable to MS in a mutlitude of ways that you gave examples of.

Now, off topic but could you remind me of a thing I asked u before. YouTube money making. What was the number of views per video that you said was required to make a decent living off of YouTube? Was it 10K per day or could you survive on less views?

Optimistic is $5/1000 views. I doubt you'd get that without a Youtube Partnership though.

So 10k views/day would be $350/week, which would be slightly above US federal minimum wage which is $290/week.

But remember that viewership and ad rates are highly variable and you wouldn't want to rely on that income.

Cool. Yeah I understand you have to be a partner, but that's natural if you're in it for the money.

Here's some examples of YouTubers I follow. How do you think they do when it comes to living off of YT?

This guy does aquarium stuff, gets around 5-10K per video and he seems to consistantly do on average 1 video/day. Total is 3.5 mill views in +1 year. I know he has a daily regular job but he's a YT partner and I guess he makes good extra money off YT then?

Thunderfoot. I bet many here knows who he is. 45 million views in five years. Sure he makes a good living off of YT right?

Same with ELPRESADOR, the famous game entertainer and COD commentator, right? 45 million lifetime views.

The latter two, do they make real big money then?
