About Make Stuff
Make Stuff is a US video essay channel that analyzes film, television, comics and music. Videos run about 10 to 15 minutes and explain why stories work, covering titles such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Hamilton, Black Panther and Game of Thrones. The channel also made comics, which it sells through its Patreon.
The channel has about 51,000 subscribers and a median of roughly 14,800 views per video, with a few hits above 270,000 and one near 1.2 million. The most recent upload dates from 2020, so the channel appears dormant. Audience data is not public; Starbooked estimates viewers aged 18 to 34 with a lean toward the United States, at low confidence.
No sponsorships were found. Starbooked estimates a sponsored video at $300 to $520, a CPM of $20 to $35 against the $10 to $30 typical of paid ads. That premium buys a trusted voice and long-tail views. Best for film, streaming, creative tools and book brands, once the creator confirms they are active.
