I mean sure, if we take the view counts expressed as dollars to 1/10 of 1 cent at face value. But I have a feeling that a monetization model based on Patreon and other donation/patronage-type services, to which a lot of the channels I follow are switching, is still a better and more worthwhile option, both because creators get the benefit of the Youtube infrastructure and ecosystem without having to put up with Youtube monetization nonsense, and because, in the model I describe, creators get paid in money.
