YouTube analytics
Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into YouTube analytics recently, and I keep running into confusing patterns in the data. For example, sometimes a video with low watch time ends up with more subscribers than another with higher engagement. I’m trying to understand what metrics really matter for growth and how to interpret the data correctly without overreacting to every spike or drop. Has anyone else struggled with this?

Personally, I now track patterns over weeks rather than days, because short-term fluctuations can create unnecessary panic. Also, comparing different video types and audiences helps me see what truly drives engagement, instead of assuming the first metric I glance at tells the whole story.
