> Would your revenue be higher if those 200 Indian views never happened and your total views was only 800 million instead?
No, that would mathematically make no sense.
His average RPM drops because of views from India but he still makes some money from the extra 200 million views.
I'm Indian. The reason Indian views make less money is simply that the advertisers who advertise to Indian audiences have lower budgets due to PPP. So the amount they pay to YouTube is less than what a US advertiser would pay. In turn, the channel's share of the revenue (supposedly 55% of it) is also less.
