A monthly salary that is surprising. The young bio-engineer wins this sum by publishing popular scientific videos on adult platforms. A strategic choice to escape the restrictions of traditional platforms.
On adult platforms, Zara Darcy, totals several million views. Pornographic content? What Nenni! On sites usually reserved for explicit contents, this young X of another kind offers videos where she explains the fundamentals of mathematics or artificial intelligence.
Derived functions, Pi figure, neural networks … through her popularization content, the young researcher in bio-engineering seeks to make sciences less intimidating. “I like to focus on the basic concepts that people generally have the most difficulty understanding because they are very poorly explained”explains the young woman to the media Tech & Co.
More subscribers on Youtube, but less important income
Why this amazing choice of platform? At the start, Zara had considered a more traditional channel like YouTube : “It was my first choice, this is where the majority of people will learn”she says. But between Recurrent algorithm changes, strict monetization policies and other limitationsshe finally decides to try an alternative approach: publish these same content on platforms reserved for explicit content.
The bet is paid. According to Tech & Co, his videos obtain a better viewing and satisfaction rate. Advertising income is also much higher: About $ 1,000 for a million views on the Orange logo siteagainst 340 dollars on YouTube. She claims to generate up to $ 250,000 in monthly income.
If some Internet users welcome the educational quality of his videos – “Our teacher showed us in class. Super video”writes a surfer -, Zara does not ignore the impact of aesthetics in the virality of her content. Referenced in suggestive categories and often in adjusted tank topshe assumes this mixture of genres: “Even if someone only looks at half the video and later thinks about the concepts addressed, it’s still a good thing”she believes.
Authentic content? Indeed, several Internet users remain doubtful, some questioning the nature of its content and the possibility that His character or part of his production is based on artificial intelligence technologiesan assumption not confirmed to date.
