"Youtube channels" traffic source is confusing.

Oh I found something from the last 7 days analytics.
I have views from other people's playlist, but it doesn't show their channel on the "YouTube channels" tab. O_O"

you have a 15 million sub channel in your list, what?!

My reaction exactly! So I checked that channel thoroughly but I was no where on the channel at all. So since then I don't mind that source too much haha.
I got that view even before I have a channel trailer so...I don't know where it came from...

I guess if something can go into a specific category it won't also show up in a more general one...?!

I like a good mystery, so I'm throwing another guess in here: someone linked to your video in a comment on that channel?!

Ooohhh that's.. I never thought of it that way lol But what are the chances of getting views from that big channel? I guess 1 in 10 million lol
Yea I got 1 view from that channel but it was 100% viewed so its all good. ^^
