5+ Million views but terrible payout, WTF going on?

Well Im spanish myself so... as you probably know our ad revenue is and always was at least x2 lower than for people from UK and US... now it just got to the point where 15k views got me 30-70 cents... its really really bad ><"
 
This is why I'm learning how to do affiliate marketing because I'll get much more from that when I start getting more views even if only 1% of people end up buying something through my links.
 
I honestly want to believe it will get back to normal in couple months... I hope so really. I've read that some advertisers are coming back already now in June, so let's wait and see what happens :)

I suspect that this has a lot to do with the drop in ad revenue. There is an insane amount of gaming channels on YouTube, so advertisers are spoilt for choice and the gaming "real estate" is devalued.
My channel is very niche, so I am still getting just over $1 per 1000 views...although in truth my channel is still so small that I won't be retiring on the earnings any time soon.

You also must be talking about a different channel than you have linked in your profile; that channel has 144 subs, and 145 views total!

Hpw in the world can you make more with a network when your income is set to be double-cut as soon as you join one?

Adsense: YouTube takes its cut and you get the rest.

Network: YouTube takes its cut. Then network takes its cut from what is left! Finally you, the YouTuber get the leftovers.

If I were you, I would rethink what you just said. I was with a network for over 4 years and I know how they work.
 
Networks can offer a different contract depending on what how big you are!

YouTube takes it cut from the 30% we take not the 70% he takes..

Get your facts straight.
