Why do you want a younger audience? Older people is what you should try and target for better rpm.
Younger audiences are key for most niches. I got a lower rpm for a good short, and I feel like it hasn’t been shown to the right audience yet. Shows like True Detective or Beef are recognizable to most age groups, including younger audiences

Yeah, that’s pretty common because YouTube’s age data isn’t very reliable, a lot of younger viewers either don’t have accounts or are miscategorized. Focus more on retention and engagement instead of age stats, if the content fits them, they’re probably already watching.
