Difference in compensation between Shorts and YouTube is incredible if this is consistent across all creators from The Information:

“One business that operates multiple YouTube channels generated only $41,000 in YouTube revenue share from a billion views on YouTube Shorts last month. That compares to roughly $1.1 million off two billion views on its regular YouTube videos, my colleague Sahil and I found out.

One creator told us they earned just 12 cents from YouTube per thousand views on Shorts vs. $4.30 in revenue per thousand views on their longer views. ”
