Male Vlogger Expresses Frustration for Earning Only $1.87 Despite Hitting 2 Million Views
A vlogger shared his frustration online after earning just $1.87 from videos that reached a total of 2 million views.
Recently, Federic Baroza Alcaide, a Facebook user, shared screenshots of his earnings revealing how little he received despite the high number of views. The post garnered various reactions from the online community,
His videos, which focus on the struggles of daily life and are sometimes referred to as “poverty p0*n,” took time, effort, and personal expense to create. The low earnings left him frustrated and questioning whether continuing to make content was still worth it.
According to his post, the content took a lot of energy to produce from planning and filming to editing and uploading. Like many small creators, he hoped that reaching a large audience would help him earn a decent income. However, the results were far from what he expected.
The post shows the challenges that come with trying to earn through social media, especially for those who are just starting or working with limited resources.
Some online users expressed sympathy, while others pointed out that monetization depends on many factors, such as video length, ad engagement, platform policies, and audience location. Still, the post opened up an important conversation about the reality behind content creation.
Despite reaching millions, the vlogger’s income barely covered basic expenses, making many think twice about the idea that viral fame always leads to financial gain.
