What are you considering "mid-sized"? To me that means probably 100k-250k sub and views per video, and most of those people are not making mega-bank.

CPM varies drastically based on your category. Finance-related channels for example are known for having extremely high CPMs.

Ad revenue can also be fairly unreliable. Patreon is recurring income.

Yes, I consider 50k to 250k mid sized channels.

I'm aware that chances of becoming rich as a creator are minimal, but it may develop into a worthwhile hobby with an active community nonetheless. And if I utterly fail, I still have some experiences and a story to tell.
