YouTube Shorts revenue is finally getting real

I ignored Shorts for two years. Started posting repurposed vertical cuts 6 weeks ago. RPM is low but volume is making up for it — roughly $200 extra last month on a channel that was plateaued. Still early but sharing in case others are sleeping on it.

I check analytics every morning and then try not to for the rest of the day. Mostly fails.

I've been noticing this too — anyone know if there's a seasonal pattern to brand spend?
