Giddy-up - Eagle-Time Gaming

Can you post some generated algorithm things for the entertainment of your most important viewers here on eagle-time dot com?

Indeed I can! but only 4 months after you ask.

Youtube does a good job of making sure it's clear what is the most popular content on your channel. What are the most popular videos? What draws in new viewers? How can you grow your channel?

There's a short answer to that question, but first lets look at the channel as a whole:

Zooming out a bit, socialblade is a great site for figuring out where a channel stands:


HECK YES D+! That's a passing grade! D's get degrees! and D+'s let you feel slightly superior to those other eagle-themed gaming channels. (This is not true)

But this isn't a competition. It's good ole video making game playing fun! So how much fun have people had on ETG anyway?


This much fun.

If we break that down by video, we get a clearer picture of what's popular on the channel:

These are the top ten videos by lifetime minutes watched


Here's the top ten by number of views:

It's . is popular on the channel.

30% of all the minutes watched on ETG and 40% of all the views are from videos that has promoted on their own youtube channel (The top 5 videos in both lists).

, besides being a great person to open card packs with, is a solid animator (The Keep Talking Videos are some of the best edited on the channel). They have graciously plopped their ETG contributions on the front of their channel page.

When did this happen?

Show Content

You can see there's not only the spike in views, but the baseline day-to-day views are much higher as well.

Really though, one of my favorite stats is this one:

Show Content

It shows how important subscribers are to the channel at large. During the last year, subscribers only made up 10% of all views on the channel, but they watched the videos nearly 3 times as much as non subscribers. This gives me the most important feedback I can get. Are people enjoying the videos?

If a video is boring, you're gonna skip through it, or not watch it entirely. So a high percentage viewed rate tells me that if I post a video that I enjoy, you guys are enjoying it too. And that's the most fun part about this whole project.

Show Content

Spoiler...I'm assuming 30% is high? I mean it averages every time anyone loads a video so 30% seems high? I'm not sure.

Oh whaaat? I've been using the wrong analytics page! Youtube is pushing out their new creator studio and it has LESS features than the classic version. Well dang! Maybe I'll switch to classic mode and have more stats to talk about later.
