Where they watch

Country mix — 7-day vs 28-day share

Where a channel's audience sits, geographically, drifts on its own — a video catches on somewhere new, a familiar country goes quiet for a week. Each row sets a country's share of views over the past week against the past four, so a recent shift reads against the channel's own recent normal. A point or two either way, over a single week, is often just noise on a channel this size; the rows that moved further are the ones worth a second look.

How they arrived

Source mix — 7-day vs 28-day share

The same week-against-month comparison, applied to how people found the videos — Suggested, Browse, Search, External, and the rest. A discovery mix shifts as the catalog ages and as individual videos find or lose their audience; here too, a small one-week move is usually noise, and the larger shifts are the ones that have actually moved the channel's shape.
