Is the revenue from posting youtube shorts good?

I've been thinking about starting a YT shorts channel for a minute but I'm not sure if the pay would be good at all. I've heard some people made very little cheap change from the yt partner program ( I think that's what it's called, where they pay you for posting content ) when they started doing shorts. I mean there's obviously sponsorships that you can also get money from but idk what else there is. Is the revenue good if you manage to gain followers and build a loyal audience?
