Sorry, I meant up to 2018 and around 2022 til now I had those lower numbers.
2019 was a better year than those.

Ok fair. but I was making 200-300% more during the pandemic so I'm adjusting to that.
EDIT: Actually more than that. My comparison was between the pandemic earnings vs the rest. So 5000-7000/month is a big difference to 1800-2400-3500. It is to me.
I added in the 2019 average just to point out that year was better (may seem like chump change to you, but it was better) - and I was a bit conservative - it was hitting close to $4000 most months for that year.

If you don't know what your cost to acquire a customer is, you don't actually have a business.

Dude I get more than beer money traffic. I've never bought a link (I do SELL hard links - and those have also slowed down a bit) I'm #1 keywords for my niche tube site. I know tube sites don't convert great - but against those odds I still make a living thanks to Chatb and other ads. And now I'm putting the time in for growth (premium membership which for reasons not important was impossible before)
There's some good advice in this thread, and I'm heeding it. I never even used a whitelabel until a week ago. And I still did okay. My main website in the early 2000s was fairly different and I made a lot more back then (and paid a lot more taxes). When that was drying up I switched tactics and it took a few years for the tube site to become profitable, but it is now.
I'm sure I don't have your numbers, but I'm doing alright.
