The statistic he is analyzing here is median revenue per content creator, not just median revenue.

The numerator is the median revenue and the denominator is the number of content creators.

that's not how medians work. if 100 creators make $100 each, then the median income is $100. if you divide it again by 100, then you'll get $1/creator^2 which is a nonsense number.
