  "description": "Tech and gadget reviews YouTube channels earn an RPM of $6.00–$18 per 1,000 long-form views in 2026, with a typical figure near $9.00. That means 100,000 views pays roughly $900 in ad revenue. Shorts in the same niche pay about $0.06 per 1,000 views.",

    "context": "RPM in this niche is set mainly by advertiser competition: affiliate-heavy audiences with purchase intent, but heavy creator supply keeps CPMs in check. Two tech and gadget reviews channels with identical view counts can still land at opposite ends of the $6.00–$18 band, because audience geography (a US-heavy channel often doubles the RPM of a globally split one), video length (10+ minutes unlocks multiple mid-rolls) and Shorts share all move the number.",
    "methodology": "Figures blend YouTube Partner Program payout data, public creator disclosures for tech and gadget reviews channels, and anonymised submissions to the RevenueLab YouTube Revenue Calculator. RPM is post-split (what actually lands in AdSense); CPM columns are grossed back up at roughly 1.9× to show the advertiser-side price.",
