BonfireVN YouTube Channel Earnings Report & Research

To answer how much does BonfireVN make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 798.5K monthly views through the same ad revenue calculator used across the site: a Gaming RPM of $1.4-$5.1 from 2026 niche benchmarks, with the headline figure taken at the middle of that range ($3.3), the same RPM used in the home page calculator. That puts BonfireVN YouTube ad revenue at roughly $1,118 to $4,073 per month, or $13,416 to $48,871 per year from AdSense alone.

RPM is what the channel actually keeps per 1,000 views after YouTube's 45% revenue share, unfilled ad inventory and ad blockers, which is why these BonfireVN earnings figures sit far below the advertiser-side CPM quotes you may see elsewhere. Views from Tier 1 countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia pay the most, while Shorts views pay a fraction of long-form RPM.

On top of ad revenue, we assume one integrated-mention sponsorship per month priced on 120.3K average views per video at a Gaming / Entertainment cost-per-view rate of $0.01 with a 0.8× niche multiplier — the identical model in our sponsorship calculator. That suggests a BonfireVN sponsored video is worth about $808 to $1,616, with a fair midpoint near $1,155.

Sponsorship pricing follows views and engagement, not subscriber count, so a large channel with a quiet video is still only paid for the views that video earns. Brands asking "how much does it cost to sponsor BonfireVN?" should expect dedicated videos to cost two to three times an integrated mention.

Channel-level deals work differently again. A retainer is an ongoing fee for a set of deliverables each month, not the sum of every slot the channel could sell, so pricing follows published size bands. With 260.0K subscribers, BonfireVN sits in the Mid-tier (100K-500K subs) band, where retainers typically run $4,000 to $15,000 a month. Niche demand, engagement, cadence across 7 uploads a month and how much of the audience watches each upload decide where in that band a deal lands. Spread back across uploads, that adds about $1,406 of value to each video.

Put simply, BonfireVN YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $8,817 to $19,470 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $105.8K to $233.6K per year. Channels that publish more sponsored videos, sell merchandise or courses, run memberships, or earn affiliate commissions typically make more than this range.

Net worth estimates for YouTubers like BonfireVN usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any BonfireVN net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.

BonfireVN (@bonfirevn) is a gaming YouTube channel that has published 1,111 videos and accumulated 133,613,199 lifetime views from an audience of 260,000 subscribers. The channel was created in August 2012, which makes it roughly 14 years and 3 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in gaming topics. In the creator's own words: "A Collection of Little Things from the Soulsborne Universe." Branzly analyses BonfireVN using public YouTube data so creators, brands and media buyers can understand the channel's size, output and likely earning power before they reach out, benchmark against it, or plan a collaboration.

BonfireVN has been on YouTube for approximately 14 years and 3 months, starting in August 2012. Across that period the channel has averaged around 79 uploads per year, which gives a useful signal about publishing consistency: channels that maintain a steady cadence typically build stronger session watch time and more predictable sponsorship inventory than channels that upload in bursts. Longevity also matters for advertisers, because an established back catalogue keeps generating views long after each video's launch week. With 1,111 videos in the library, BonfireVN earns a meaningful share of its monthly views from older content rather than from new uploads alone, and that evergreen tail is one reason estimated revenue for gaming channels can stay stable between releases.

BonfireVN currently has 260,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the established mid-tier tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 133,613,199, and average views per video sit at approximately 120,264. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 513.9 views for every subscriber, which indicates a strong reach beyond the subscribed audience, typically driven by search, suggested video placements or Shorts distribution. Branzly estimates recent activity at roughly 798,544 views per month based on the channel's most recent uploads and publishing history, which is the number our ad revenue calculator uses to model earnings.

The most-watched long-form video currently visible for BonfireVN is "They Mowed the Lands Between" with 214,744 views. On the Shorts side, "These Two 2015 Masterpieces Have Evolved So Much…" leads with 31,659 views. Top-performing titles are worth studying because they reveal which hooks, formats and topics the algorithm rewards for this audience. For brands, they also show the realistic ceiling of a sponsored placement: a dedicated integration on a channel of this size will usually land somewhere between the average video performance of 120,264 views and the outliers shown above.

Based on an estimated 798,544 monthly views and typical gaming CPM ranges, BonfireVN could earn roughly $1,117 to $4,072 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $13,415 to $48,870 per year. These figures reflect the AdSense share only. Most channels of this size also earn from brand sponsorships, affiliate links, memberships, merchandise and product sales, so total creator income is commonly several times the advertising estimate. Sponsorship value is usually priced per view rather than per thousand impressions, and gaming audiences typically command mid-range rates because of advertiser demand in that vertical.

Branzly classifies BonfireVN under the Gaming category using the channel's description, keywords, topic signals and the language of its best-performing uploads. Category matters more than raw subscriber count when estimating revenue: a gaming channel attracts a specific set of advertisers, and CPMs vary widely between verticals such as finance, software, education, gaming and entertainment. Public channel keywords include souls, boss, vs, PO88, Benzoin-Gum, vaatividya, Dark Souls war, Dark Souls mod, which supports this classification.

Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time BonfireVN is searched on Branzly. Subscriber counts, view counts and video counts are reported directly by YouTube. Monthly views are an estimate: YouTube does not publish per-month analytics for channels you do not own, so Branzly reconstructs recent performance from the views of the channel's latest uploads, falling back to lifetime views divided by channel age when recent data is sparse. Revenue ranges are modelled estimates, not disclosed earnings, and actual payouts depend on monetisation status, watch time, ad formats, seasonality, audience geography and YouTube's revenue share. Nothing on this page is financial advice, and Branzly is not affiliated with or endorsed by BonfireVN or YouTube.

Gaming channels like BonfireVN sit in the Gaming RPM bracket. Advertisers pay more for audiences that buy — finance, business and tech pay the highest rates, while entertainment, gaming and music rely on huge view volume. Seasonality matters too: Q4 ad rates commonly run 30–50% higher than January.
