Channel material includes punk culture and political satire from the APPD campaigns, and the channel description uses coarse language, so it is not positioned for young or general audiences.
We classify content, never people. No age, gender, ethnicity, religion or political views are inferred about the creator. Audience figures are estimates unless marked verified. Creators can correct anything on their profile.

About Punkfoto
Punkfoto is a German YouTube channel run by Karl Nagel, who also operates the punkfoto.de archive of more than 30,000 photographs from 1976 to 2000. The channel posts historical documentaries, concert recordings, and TV broadcast excerpts about the punk scene, with most clips running a few minutes and some longer documentaries running 40 minutes or more. The channel is no longer uploading, with no new videos in the past year.
The audience is estimated, not measured. It appears to skew older, 35 and up, and mostly German-speaking, with a male majority. Website pages say the archive is funded through Steady crowdfunding and member contributions, which is separate from the YouTube channel.
The channel's median of about 26,000 views per video is modest, and its top videos reach several hundred thousand. Sponsored integrations are not offered; at a typical $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, the range would be $520 to $920 per video, compared with $10 to $30 CPM for paid ads. Brands looking for heritage or music-history placements may find it a fit.
