title: AdMob rewarded video ad shows impressions, but no earnings, what is it?
body: <p>See the problem that is happening: the user can watch award-winning ads to unlock a premium feature in the app. It turns out that several award-winning videos have been watched, users are earning the premium feature, but on the AdMob panel, the rewarded video always appears $ 0.00, it is the only ad unit that never appears to win. That month there were 87 impressions, and $ 0.00 in earnings. Is currently being loaded for users and is not configured as testDevice.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am not using the latest version of the admob sdk, because when I put the dependency on the latest version there are several errors with other dependencies that I was unable to correct, because the latest version of admob is from androidx, and I don't use androidx. When I tried to switch to androidx, my entire application got errors.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: since Google Admob doesn’t want to generate earnings for me with the rewarded video and is getting 100% of the profits from this ad, <strong>I can exchange the rewarded video ad for an interstitial ad and unlock the prize only if the user clicks in the interstitial ad?</strong> This would be prompted to the user.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit: I managed to update the project for androidx and the dependence of admob for the latest version, and after a while, I see that it still doesn't give any revenue.</strong></p>
