PietSmiet YouTube Channel Earnings Report & Research

To answer how much does PietSmiet make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 6.4M 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 PietSmiet YouTube ad revenue at roughly $8,981 to $32,717 per month, or $107.8K to $392.6K 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 PietSmiet 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 134.9K 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 PietSmiet sponsored video is worth about $907 to $1,813, with a fair midpoint near $1,295.

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 PietSmiet?" 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 2.5M subscribers, PietSmiet sits in the Macro (1M-5M subs) band, where retainers typically run $18,000 to $40,000 a month. Niche demand, engagement, cadence across 48 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 $515 of value to each video.

Put simply, PietSmiet YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $27,888 to $69,112 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $334.7K to $829.3K 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 PietSmiet usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any PietSmiet net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.

PietSmiet (@pietsmiet) is a gaming YouTube channel that has published 30,359 videos and accumulated 4,095,696,860 lifetime views from an audience of 2,470,000 subscribers. The channel was created in March 2007, which makes it roughly 19 years and 8 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in gaming topics. In the creator's own words: "PietSmiet will mehr als nur spielen. Unser Team besteht aus fünf spieleverrückten Teilzeit-Bekloppten (Peter Smits, Dennis Brammen, Sebastian Lenßen, Christian Stachelhaus & Jonathan Apelt), die sich größtenteils seit der Kindheit kennen. Irgendwann kamen wir auf die Idee, unsere allabendlichen Zockersessions aufzuzeichnen und auf YouTube zu veröffentlichen. So entstand der Kanal PietSmiet, wie i" Branzly analyses PietSmiet 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.

PietSmiet has been on YouTube for approximately 19 years and 8 months, starting in March 2007. Across that period the channel has averaged around 1,598 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 30,359 videos in the library, PietSmiet 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.

PietSmiet currently has 2,470,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the million-subscriber tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 4,095,696,860, and average views per video sit at approximately 134,909. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 1658.2 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 6,415,051 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 PietSmiet is "Offizielle PietSmiet Klassen in Perfect Heist 2" with 370,552 views. On the Shorts side, ""Ich bin ein Meister"" leads with 166,649 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 134,909 views and the outliers shown above.

Based on an estimated 6,415,051 monthly views and typical gaming CPM ranges, PietSmiet could earn roughly $8,981 to $32,716 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $107.8K to $392.6K 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 PietSmiet 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. The channel lists DE as its primary country, which further shapes its CPM because advertiser spend differs sharply between geographies. Public channel keywords include pietsmiet, pietsmittie, multiplayer, gameplay, games, gaming, spiele, videospiele, which supports this classification.

Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time PietSmiet 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 PietSmiet or YouTube.

Gaming channels like PietSmiet 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.
