Quiet
Give Me 13 Minutes To DESTROY Your Fear of Being Judged is being shown, but not watched — day 5
A quiet stretch — the catalog still accruing days, even without publishes.
On day 5, Give Me 13 Minutes To DESTROY Your Fear of Being Judged entered a zombie phase: the impressions are there, the views aren't keeping up. Shown often, watched rarely — the gap between the two is the whole of what the day shows.
Convergence
Three videos at once, 2026-06-07
On 2026-06-07, multiple videos in the catalog jumped together. Convergence days like this are uncommon; the channel-level signal is often more interesting than any one video's day.
