What does $300,000 actually buy you on Ryan Trahan's channel?
A single 30s Long Form Integration on Ryan Trahan's channel.
His videos average 12.66M views over the last 150 days in our records, so a sponsored spot lands well inside the 1M to 5M view range we use as the mega-tier baseline, and often clears it.
The implied CPM lands at $23 on the $300,000 rate.
Across 76 creators we tracked at the same tier, that math holds.
Here is what the engagement looks like on a typical recent video, from our last 150-day pull.
| Signal | Value |
|---|---|
| Average views per video | 12.66M |
| Average likes per video | 249,373 |
| Average comments per video | 14,162 |
| Engagement rate | 2.3% |
| View to subscriber ratio | 0.58 |
A 0.58 view-to-sub ratio means more than half his subscriber base shows up for an average video.
That is high for a channel this size, and it is the reason the rate holds.
How does Ryan Trahan's rate compare to other mega creators?
A flat dollar rate means little without context.
The number that matters to a buyer is CPM, what you pay for every thousand views.
Here is how Ryan Trahan stacks up against other mega creators we track, using the real rates and view averages on file.
| Creator | Subscribers | Avg views | Rate | CPM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Trahan | 22.8M | 12.66M | $300,000 | $23 |
| Lucas and Marcus | 37.1M | 400K | $30,000 | $75 |
| Supercar Blondie | 22.1M | 76K | $25,000 | $329 |
| Unspeakable | 19.7M | 2.96M | $7,500 | $3 |
| Anwar Jibawi | 15.1M | 253K | $35,000 | $138 |
| Anna McNulty | 13.5M | 4.24M | $25,000 | $6 |
The headline rate is the biggest on this list by a wide margin.
The CPM is not.
Ryan Trahan clears more views per video than any creator above him on the subscriber count, so the cost per thousand views stays low even at a $300,000 sticker.
A creator like Supercar Blondie charges far less in dollars but lands a $329 CPM on a short with light views.
Trahan's $23 CPM is what you are really buying.
You pay a large number, but you reach a large, engaged audience for it.

Why does Ryan Trahan charge $300,000 and clear $23 CPM?
Ryan Trahan sits in the mega bracket at 22.8M subscribers.
At that scale, a 30s Long Form Integration clears 1M to 5M views per integration.
That works the math out to roughly $23 CPM on the $300,000 rate.
Across 76 creators we tracked at the same tier, Ryan Trahan holds the working pattern for the bracket.
The length of the read moves the price.
The $300,000 rate is for a 30s Long Form Integration.
For a 60s integration, the quoted rate on file climbs to $450,000.
Longer read, more screen time for your product, higher price.
One honest note on the number.
Our model's own view-based estimate for a single video on this channel is $233,772, a touch under the $300,000 quote.
The quoted rate sits above the pure CPM math because a creator at this scale prices in scarcity, not just views.
Few brands get a spot, so the spot costs more than a calculator says it should.
