# YouTube Views & Subs

**Overview**\
YouTube Views & Subs measure both subscriber growth on official branded YouTube channel as well as total views gained or lost collectively on that specific day. Subscribers may reflect long-term audience engagement and a consumer’s intent to keep interacting with a brand’s content, while views may indicate shorter term engagement. In TickerTrends, subscriber data complements search and view trends, giving investors a fuller picture of whether a company is building durable attention or just benefitting from one-off spikes.

**Historical Length**\
Coverage typically covers the full length of time a YouTube channel existed, depending on the availability of public channel-level data. For most major consumer brands, TickerTrends provides multiple years of history to contextualize growth cycles, marketing pushes, and product rollouts.

**Granularity**\
Data is collected daily, but can be aggregated into weekly or monthly time series within the platform to track long-term brand momentum.

**Update Frequency**\
Updated daily, users can typically see between real-world activity and platform availability.

**Methodology**\
We collect subscriber counts from public web pages on various official brand and product channels. These raw figures are preserved without normalization, ensuring accuracy and consistency across time.
