About John Hankey
John Hankey runs TheRealHistoryChannel, a US-based YouTube channel at @realhistorychannel1, which publishes long-form videos on politics, history and current events. The channel has about 5,300 subscribers and a median of roughly 750 views per video, with uploads running about four per year. Viewers appear to be a small, politically engaged audience, though this is an estimate from the channel's topics and comments rather than verified data.
The content is mostly low-production, talk-driven commentary. Much of it challenges official accounts of major events, and several videos are framed around conspiracy claims. The creator has no sponsorships and no brand work visible in the dossier.
At a rate of $150 to $250 per video, which sits below the minimum floor, the channel suits only niche campaigns with a high tolerance for controversial content. Based on a CPM of $20 to $35 per 1,000 views, versus $10 to $30 for paid ads, it is not cost-effective for most brands.
