But do they even have to pay much to youtubers for those ads? If you get 50k to 100k views per video then you'll likely make around the range of $50-$150 for the video. Paying the youtuber $50-$100 per video would already have a significant impact on their income, so they'd probably consider it. That would be 50k-100k people who will see the ad, because adblock can't block it.
If somebody is getting $50-$150 per video, they're probably doing it for the passion of making videos, not for the income, and they probably have another source of income that dwarfs what they're getting from youtube.
Not necessarily. If they put up a video every day then that's $1500 a month minimum. That's decent income in most countries, even in many EU ones. Now imagine if sponsor segments doubled that for you - now it's $3000 a month, which is already on the lower end of decent even in the richest countries.
