I've done quite a few collaborations, and in the pranking world, it's usually your idea so usually it's never split. An idea in the pranking world is worth much more than the collaboration, so i've never heard of anyone splitting money. And I myself have been in two videos where both were my idea.
- I gave one of them as a collaboration to help myself grow
- And the second video I made for this other channel as a shoutout but also showing one of my videos
And both videos went to 1M+ views, but not on my channel as stated above. I get no revenue from it (easily 2k+ dollars), but that is fine because I did it to get viewership and a subscriber base, rather than money.
So to shorten things, money isn't really the important thing in collaborations, its about helping spread the growth, and really it's much more fun doing collaborations. Or at least, I like pranking with many different people.
