- Caps per clip: 510 of 534 live CPM campaigns stop paying one clip at a median $200, so $1,000 there takes several clips.
- The platform's fee: a fee on CPM pay raises the views needed, by about 11% for a 10% fee.
- The budget: every clipper is paid from one budget, and views after it is used are not paid.
