Revenue and RPM are estimates: last 30 days of views × the niche’s RPM range. Niches with fewer than 5 channels are marked as early data.

How this list is built

ByNiche rescans thousands of English, German, French, Spanish and Turkish YouTube channels every night and places each one in one of 125 niches. The numbers on each row are medians across the channels in that niche, not the handful of giants at the top.

The opportunity ranking looks at channels that started in the last 90 days and already beat their niche’s usual views 3×. If new channels still break out, the door is open. RPM depends on what advertisers pay for the topic, which is why the same views earn several times more in finance than in gaming.

The signal uses the same rules as each niche page: new-channel breakouts, RPM, revenue and channel count.
