    "context": "Daily targets are useful because YouTube income is really a flow, not a jackpot: $200 a day is $6,000 a month and $73,000 a year, and it comes from a back catalogue that keeps serving views rather than from any single upload. Most channels that hit this level do it with 30–80 evergreen videos each pulling a few hundred views a day.",
    "methodology": "Daily views = $200 ÷ RPM × 1,000, using RevenueLab's 2026 niche RPM table. Monthly and annual rows simply extend the same run-rate at 30 and 365 days; they assume flat performance, which real channels rarely have — seasonality alone swings Q4 up 20–40% and January down.",
