Channel content is political economy lecture material; the Modern Monetary Theory policy advocacy (job guarantee, progressive resource allocation) is openly partisan, as in 'The Left is Wrong On Debt and Deficits'.

About Deficit Owls
Deficit Owls is a YouTube channel that posts clips and highlights from lectures and interviews on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), an economic framework about government spending, deficits and full employment. The channel organizes its videos into topic playlists and takes viewer requests for lecture highlights. Its most recent upload dates from several years ago, so the channel is largely an archive.
With about 23,000 subscribers and a median video of roughly 5,100 views, the audience is likely small and self-selected: people already interested in heterodox economics, academics and policy readers. These viewers are estimated to be mostly English speakers in the United States. Some videos reached far higher numbers, including one on the origins of money that passed 170,000 views. Brand work is not visible in the data, and the channel shows no sponsorship disclosures.
Estimated rate is $150 to $250 per video, which is a much higher CPM than the $10 typical for paid ads. Book this channel for educational, non-commercial partnerships rather than broad reach campaigns.
