what do traffic sources mean?

[oscarflowers]

in the analytics, i was playing around and having a little look at where the traffic to my channel comes from.

as you can see, i get over 120 minutes of watch time from 'youtube channels', over 40 from 'browse features', etc.
however, i don't know exactly what 'youtube channels' or 'browse features' mean. is the youtube channel view coming from a related channel, from people coming through seeing my comments or something else? and what is 'browse features'?

thanks if you can help at all.

Hey Oscar,

If you're on the Traffic Sources page in Analytics, the list underneath that bar graph you can click on 'YouTube Channels' and it'll show you the channels people came from. Same for Browse Features.

thank you so much! i discovered that the 'youtube channel' bit was 98% my own channel, whoops!
