‘Most Youtubers Are Secretly Broke,’ NAS Daily’s Expose On Socials Over Revenue Gets The Internet Talking

One of the most followed and prolific content creators NAS Daily’s Nuseir Yaasin took to Twitter over the abysmal state of affairs of revenue on every social media platform. The Arab-Israeli vlogger who creates interesting one minute vlogs slammed the social media giants for taking care of content creators. Nuseir boldly writes that most YouTubers are secretly broke.

His series of tweets came with an analytics of his own channel – Nas Daily. The cumulative view on FB, YT, Insta, Tik Tok, Snapchat, along with localized content in 13 international languages are 606 million. However the revenue game ain’t strong for Nas Daily despite the multi-million viewership. Nuseir dropped the breakdown of revenue from some of these platforms. Barring YouTube Shorts revenue of $100 million for 10 million views, there was zero income from Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook reels. However, these platforms did take a large slice of revenue, bemoans the influencer.

With 1m new followers and 606m views, Nas Daily generated $33,000 in social media ad revenue (excluding snapchat).

Instagram and TikTok revenue = $0.
YouTube shorts = $100 for 10m views.
Facebook Reels = $0.

But the platforms made a killing.

Nuseir further takes a jibe on the functionality of the social media platforms. He says that these are designed for 2010. They are built for users and not creators who make the users flock in. however, Nuseir warns that there will be no content without creators.

Social media platforms are designed for 2010.

They are designed for users, not creators.

user data, revenue, and direct access are all banned from the Creator.

However…without creators there is no content.

The NAS Daily CEO future advocates for building social media from scratch catering to content creators. It should be more content centric, he states. NAS Daily would be fine but no one has to reach over 6 million folks to generate only $33,000 in revenue, the maverick writes.

We need social media to be rebuilt from the grounds up to be more creator centric.

Nas Daily will do just fine. But no one should reach people 606,000,000 times and generate only $33,000 in value.

Here’s how the netizens responded.

Content will always win and platforms will have to respect creators to survive.

As a viewer, I am trying to look at it in a positive way.

Just my first thought, still sure about it.

But I am tired of everyone trying to get money through vain topics with no positive messages.

Nas daily is fine
