    How much could Where The Bears Are potentially make from channel memberships?

    We found no public sign that Where The Bears Are has the Join button switched on, so the figures below are what memberships could be worth if they were enabled, not money being earned today. What we can do is model it. The sum is simple: estimated paying members × average membership price, less the 30% YouTube keeps on every membership payment.

    Membership earnings per year$8,333$16,666$31,587

    The working, step by step

    1. Start with a Entertainment benchmark conversion of 0.20% of subscribers paying for a membership.
    2. Adjust for audience size: at 112.0K subscribers we apply a 1.15× factor, because very large audiences contain far more passive viewers.
    3. Adjust for loyalty: 171.9K monthly views against that subscriber base gives a 1× factor.
    4. That lands on an expected 0.23% conversion, or about 258 paying members. The low case halves it, the high case is roughly double, covering the spread seen across real channels.
    5. Price each member at the blended $7.69 average across a standard tier ladder: $4.99 (70% of members), $9.99 (22% of members), $24.99 (8% of members).
    6. Multiply members by price, then take off YouTube's 30% cut to get what Where The Bears Are actually keeps: $1,389 a month in the mid case, or $16,666 a year.

    Until Where The Bears Are switches the Join button on, membership income is zero regardless of the numbers above. Channels that run members-only videos, Discord perks or loyalty badges usually sit at the high end, while channels that enable memberships and never mention them sit below the low case. These are planning estimates from public data, not disclosed earnings, and not financial advice.

    Where The Bears Are YouTube earnings, income and channel analysis: the full guide

    How much does Where The Bears Are make on YouTube per month?

    To answer how much does Where The Bears Are make, Branzly runs the channel's estimated 171.9K monthly views through the same ad revenue calculator used across the site: a Entertainment RPM of $0.7-$2.7 from 2026 niche benchmarks, with the headline figure taken at the middle of that range ($1.7), the same RPM used in the home page calculator. That puts Where The Bears Are YouTube ad revenue at roughly $120 to $464 per month, or $1,444 to $5,569 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 Where The Bears Are 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.

    How much does Where The Bears Are charge for a sponsorship?

    On top of ad revenue, we assume one integrated-mention sponsorship per month priced on 173.5K 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 Where The Bears Are sponsored video is worth about $1,166 to $2,332, with a fair midpoint near $1,666.

    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 Where The Bears Are?" should expect dedicated videos to cost two to three times an integrated mention.

    Where The Bears Are brand deals and channel partner retainers

    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 112.0K subscribers, Where The Bears Are 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 1 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 $8,606 of value to each video.

    Where The Bears Are net worth and yearly YouTube income

    Put simply, Where The Bears Are YouTube earnings are estimated at roughly $7,311 to $14,845 per month when ad revenue, one sponsored integrated mention and a retainer are combined, or about $87,728 to $178.1K 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 Where The Bears Are usually start from several years of this yearly income, minus taxes, team costs and production spend. Treat any Where The Bears Are net worth figure as a planning range, not a disclosed number.

    Who is Where The Bears Are on YouTube?

    Where The Bears Are (@wherethebearsare) is a entertainment YouTube channel that has published 233 videos and accumulated 40,427,984 lifetime views from an audience of 112,000 subscribers. The channel was created in February 2012, which makes it roughly 14 years and 9 months old, and it continues to publish content for viewers interested in entertainment topics. In the creator's own words: "WHERE THE BEARS ARE is a comedy/mystery series that is best described as, "The Golden Girls" meets "Murder She Wrote" with big, hairy, gay men! It premiered on Youtube in 2012 as a web series, and was then cut into 7 full-length feature films (with rear nudity) that are available for DOWNLOAD RIGHT NOW ON: I-tunes, Amazon, Google Play and Vimeo on Demand (with subtitles). The show is a worldwide" Branzly analyses Where The Bears Are 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.

    How long has Where The Bears Are been active?

    Where The Bears Are has been on YouTube for approximately 14 years and 9 months, starting in February 2012. Across that period the channel has averaged around 17 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 233 videos in the library, Where The Bears Are 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 entertainment channels can stay stable between releases.

    Where The Bears Are subscriber count and audience size

    Where The Bears Are currently has 112,000 subscribers, a figure that places the channel in the established mid-tier tier of YouTube creators. Total channel views stand at 40,427,984, and average views per video sit at approximately 173,511. The ratio of lifetime views to subscribers is about 361.0 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 171,888 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.

    Most viewed videos and Shorts on Where The Bears Are

    The most-watched long-form video currently visible for Where The Bears Are is "WTBA 2026 Re-release S.2 EP. 15 - BEAR INTERROGATION" with 356,303 views. The channel has no recent Shorts in the sampled uploads, so its reach is driven mainly by long-form content. 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 173,511 views and the outliers shown above.

    Estimated Where The Bears Are YouTube earnings

    Based on an estimated 171,888 monthly views and typical entertainment CPM ranges, Where The Bears Are could earn roughly $120 to $464 per month from YouTube ad revenue, or approximately $1,443 to $5,569 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 entertainment audiences typically command mid-range rates because of advertiser demand in that vertical.

    What niche and category is Where The Bears Are in?

    Branzly classifies Where The Bears Are under the Entertainment 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 entertainment channel attracts a specific set of advertisers, and CPMs vary widely between verticals such as finance, software, education, gaming and entertainment. The channel lists US as its primary country, which further shapes its CPM because advertiser spend differs sharply between geographies. Public channel keywords include bears, webseries, comedy, mystery, fun, hairy, men, gay, which supports this classification. Use the Branzly ad revenue, sponsorship and financial freedom calculators to model how a channel like Where The Bears Are converts views into monthly income, sponsorship pricing and long-term wealth.

    How these numbers are produced

    Every figure on this page comes from the public YouTube Data API, refreshed each time Where The Bears Are 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 Where The Bears Are or YouTube.

    Entertainment YouTube RPM and CPM explained

    Entertainment channels like Where The Bears Are sit in the Entertainment 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.
