Actually the money amount listed in the title is correct regardless of the view ratio because youtube takes a huge chunk so technically the money in the title that auto updates is the most accurate before youtube's chunk taken out.
Every time I watch this video I don’t get an ad. I don’t have Adblock or UA-cam premium. What’s going on?

Anyone else remember when UA-cam still let Creators make money off a video they liked, rather than stealing all it’s revenue because someone left a false report?
5 years later,
this video STILL slaps.
So a 5 second ad is a win-win for everyone, right?

Ok then bye
Probably because unless you’re an amputee (and nowadays they can use prosthetics), you’ll always be shopping for a pair of shoes because you need two.
BOGO implies that you’re allowed to leave one if you don’t want it.
And depending on how they’re priced, you’ll likely always take the second. Would you pay $100 (full price for a pair) for one shoe but leave the second behind?
Because the company probably would be getting tons of false advertising lawsuits...
@Makise Kurisu I gotta believe his serious response got to be some kind of british comedy itself. I got to believe that, my faith in humanity is already pretty low.
Imagine the people that clicked on this video 5 years ago, when it said that the video was worth 0$
This is the first time that I saw someone explain in detail how it works and I don't see a single misconception or wrong statement in it. I've checked out how this works a lot of times (in general through informing but also doing them to see how it exactly works, to understand how UA-cam places ads) and it's honestly frustrating when some people talk about how it's done and it's utterly wrong or just looks at one part of the entire picture.
Edit: I may have skipped this part, but I think it would have been good to mention (UNLESS YOU MENTIONED IT, SORRY THEN) that UA-camrs decide on ad slots, which are just a chance for ads to appear, and that 8 minute videos (back then I think it was 10) allow midrolls (without them no ad slots can be set). The general concept for 8+ minute videos is that the revenue will be around $1-6, but this highly depends on the final length of the video, demographic and category it belongs to (though category also has to do mostly with demographic, since an e.g. gaming UA-camr can upload a finance video, which usually sees way higher revenue, but see 0 change in revenue due to the same audience watching it).
CGP Grey Has officially passed his upload quota for the year.
lol
correct

lmao true
And yet we will all still wait patiently for the next one because they are always gold.
I didn't get an ad because I'm not worth anyone's money, even bots look down at me.

If you wondering how did the GCP title change automatically There is a code in Google Script that you can modify so you can do your calculations and set it on your UA-cam video title and then It change automatically the things he set in the code, It’s a very simple thing to do There is a bunch of a tutorials about how to make it:)
1:00 that me :D
Ayo
Lmao
Did anyone else notice that CGP Grey is changing the amount of money in the title? It used to be $385, now it's $425.
$453, refresh, $457
Probably a script running to generate the total based on views. Meaning, I doubt he is personally updating the video title.
I538I shhhhhh
$583
$597
All I want to know is: How many more ads do I need to watch in order to get CGP Grey to post videos more frequently?
He does have a patreon you can donate to though I don't have the link
Found it www.patreon.com/cgpgrey
Get a job and pay the money with patrion, probably helps him more
n35w101 You can just give him a dollar directly and skip every add you'll ever watch on his videos.

That ad was totally tailored to my liking.
Yes, I would like to scrap my sacred sheets of paper. Lul.

just Kidding.. I don't have one.
So this video is basically an NFT
I don't know how you drew this conclusion; especially when it doesn't even make logical sense...
Informative and the animation/drawings were really funny to me for some reason xD
Is the title auto-updating based on the money this video makes?
Yes
How?
Not sure about auto-update. Looks more like he is manualy updating. But well, there is a bot for everything.
Jonah Czerwinski most likely made a script / had someone make one to correct every x minutes
Well, minute earth once used a smiliar trick to visualize the amount of energy watching the video in question has consumed, which also features a conversion into more "understandable" units, like household-days of electricity.
So, I assume they use a bot, meaning such a thing exists. And given what we know about Grey from the podcasts, bot seems like a likely answer.
every once in a while I pick a random ad to not skip and click through; all just to mess with the advertiser's data
Alley Peplinski Than you're prolly an outlier and they won't count it anyway.

Me me big dissapointment
No your not
I feel like the real question is why any of the robots think I want to see the SAME AD three times in a row. It's not getting more appealing, guys. Repetition is fine, if I forget or don't know what it was for, but spread out. The same ad three times out of ten or twenty is fine. But three times in a row I'm just annoyed. And also bored. Very bored.
AnnikaOakinnA THE Bot Society will consider your points...
Thanks and Regards,
The Bot Society
As a more boring comment on The Bot Society's neatly sardonic post, it's probably a good thing that it's like this. Avoiding it would probably require the bots to keep more information about what we watch than we should be entirely comfortable with. The ideal solution would probably be the UA-cam bots factoring in which ads you've seen into the auction - "You've advertised to AnnikaO 3 times now: you're not winning again unless you offer a grand." - or more likely, passing that info to the advertiser bots - "We've advertised to AnnikaO three times now so we expect a skip and won't bother in the auction." Any bots that actually run on such a system would almost certainly just move to the situation where they just stockpile that info and sell it for more than the ads would be worth, to all our detriment. Let's hope that the reason repeats like this happen is that UA-cam's got a blanket ban on keeping that sort of info.
AnnikaOakinnA The same ad three times in a row?! I get the same ad for a few weeks.
What about the same ad for only ONE channel that you really like and this goes on for 4 months. WTF youtube?!
Actually, it is not about forgetting the ad. Generally, the more you see anything really, the more easily your brains process the information meaning that it sounds more appealing or more true. This is called the mere-exposure effect or the familiarity principe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere-exposure_effect. It is an unconscious process.

2 videos in 1 week?
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH OUR CGP GREY?
Well, there could be other explanations than a doppelganger kidnapping our favorite UA-camr.
For example, perhaps CGP Grey spent a few months inside a room that's accelerated compared to the outside, so for us it's been a week but for him it's been seven months.
Lets be real though, a doppelganger has kidnapped Grey
I think Grey has finally figured out how to infuse his mind with a machine. That seems the most probable
He's been working on this one since November and the other one since February they happened to finish very close to one another.
+LeMysterieux01 But you can only stay in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for 24 hours (our time) at a time, and you can only be in there twice
The title is updating, that's really cool!
Yep!! I wonder how...
There's probably a bot that changes it based on how many views it's gotten.
CGP Grey might also be monitoring it for the first couple hours
Yeah I'm assuming he is monitoring it because it doesn't seem to be updating often and updating it once every 10-20 mins for the first several hours it's live would be easier than making a bot. Only takes like 40 seconds to update it manually probably.
40 seconds every time he updates, I can't imagine Grey actually doing that rather then spending maybe 2 hours to write a bot and have it update the title, no time investment needed, for the foreseeable future.
It's actually thesecond time a penny has proven too great a measure of value. The US used to (in the early 19th century) have half cents that was used in many day to day transactions

I lost one chromosome last year.

When I saw the title I immediately thought "oh no video NFT"
I love the way Grey draws bots.
They’re so cute!
Yesh they do
"I won't pay if people skip my ads"
Maybe don't make your advertisements 2-10 minutes long about really boring and trival things, and people won't skip them? Like keep it short and sweet, you'll spend less money, and have less people skipping your ads.
Nyaria I don’t give two shits about ads though, so yeah.
Counterpoint, the people who watch your ad are far more likely to be interested in your product, so if you have a very niche product that's hard to calculate the demographic for, skipable ads mean you aren't paying for the people who won't buy your stuff anyways
Isn't it a strategy to make long ads so that people won't click and you don't have to pay while the consumer still sees the ad?
Nyaria they are long add often skip
