🎯 Reach quality

Subscriber activation
0.81%
Share of subscribers who watch a typical recent video (avg views ÷ subscribers) — the real reach behind the subscriber count, and a quick check on whether those subscribers are still active rather than a vanity number.
Recent vs all-time
-45%
Recent videos average 17.6K vs an all-time 32K/video — recent uploads run below the all-time norm — much of the lifetime views sit in an older catalogue.
