YouTube creator income breakdown

For some time, I've been wondering what the income structure of YouTube (and other) video bloggers looks like. There always was some secrecy about it, likely imposed by the contracts the people have with YouTube.

This post talks about the revenue structure. The summary is that you get 1ct per view, but there is a minimum number of videos/views/hours you need to meet.

The main revenue still seems to come directly from merchandising, stream sponsors and other advertising that's separate in the advertising that YouTube sells.
