I've Got It
My channel started getting more and more viewers recently. So, I started checking the YouTube Analytics quite often, especially the Realtime Analytics. I have the YouTube Creator App on my smartphone as well. I think I check the stats a couple of times an hour.

Seeing viewers on the last 60 minutes graph gives me some joy, whereas no viewers during this time period gives me a slight disappointment.

Do other YouTubers check the Analytics as often as I am? Or am I getting a bit obsessed about this?

I got the app and check them every now and then, it's interesting to see how many people are watching your videos!

Depends on what I'm doing and where I am. At home I probably check twice a day
 
I won't lie, it's pretty addictive!
My favourite part is seeing what search terms people are using to find my videos. Some of them are quite amusing!
 
I used to really be into it, to the point where I would know it was updated based on which countries were appearing in the list. Now I've calmed down a little, I've not looked at them in depth for about a month but I still look at them most days.
 
I'm really obsessed, when I have just uploaded a video, the first couple of days I am constantly checking it, when I am having a slow time like at the moment where I haven't been able to upload for a while. I only look about once a day
 
Never, I do not check my views and asked my husband to not tell me. Of course when suggestions come up on the side I can see or when I upload videos... Last time I click by mistake instead of getting to my page channel I arrived on the 28 days analytics, And saw more than 45 000views. I told my husband totally freaked out lol
 
I honestly don't have an audience big enough to start checking it lol....But I guess it wouldn't hurt to look at it every once in a while >___>
 
I look over it a few times a week. One thing added recently I like is the real time views for the channel as a whole, my goal is to see 10,000 in a 48 hour period, I've seen as high as 8,500 but can't seem to reach that "goal." Sigh
