Where does the gap come from?

  • Samsung gets more views (18.2M vs 3.7M for Google) yet earns less: where the views come from and what kind they are matters.
  • 100% of Samsung's views come from Shorts (Google: 61%). Shorts pay far less per 1,000 views than long-form videos.

Sponsorships, memberships, Super Thanks, merchandise and other income are not included. The real total is often higher than ad revenue alone.
