Chart loading.

The shaded band is where other videos on this channel had reached by each day after publish; the dashed line is the middle — total views by that day, not a single day’s count.

At day 14, this video’s cumulative-views curve sat closest to Photos From Icehouse California (Bonus footage from paddleboard) at the same age. Photos From Icehouse California (Bonus footage from paddleboard) has since reached 16 views by day 30. Comparison drew on 6 videos on this channel that reached day 14.

Shape-similar, not outcome-identical — worth noting as context, not as a forecast.
