I am a Revver fan… they pay great and considering I have well over 100 3D animation videos up there… they have become a predictable and growing income stream. I have the same videos on youtube and they generate squat.

I’ve heard similar data from other “smaller” partners.
These are disappointing numbers for burgeoning grassroots content creation teams out there. YouTube needs to reevaluate their tiered system… a view is a view. In fact, it could be argued that the more viral the view the better the chance that an advertiser is finding a new consumer.
Paying the “Big Boys” a higher CPM rate can only lead to community disappointment and eventual exodus… perhaps the “Do No Evil” mantra doesn’t apply to Google’s subsidiaries.

Dang, I was really hoping that Australia would be included in the partner program soon. Why does Austrailia always get everything before us?

YouTube doesn’t pay worth a crap compared to Metacafe. KipKay averages ~$1000 per video over there off Producer Rewards.
