Where does most of your YouTube traffic come from?

Posting Mad!
I'm curious to see how different everyone's traffic sources are (since just from seeing another post, there are some differences.)

So, what I think would be interesting is if people went into their Analytics, viewed Traffic Sources, and then shared their top traffic sources.

For my channel,

YouTube Search gives me 35% of my watch time, then
Playlists give another 15%, then
External sources give 14%,
YouTube channels gives 9%, and
Suggested videos gives 7.2%.

Is your ranking similar? Are the percentages similar?

These are my percentages for this month
47: suggested
21: searches
10: browse features
8.1: external
6.2: youtube channels
2.4: playlists - with the best retention of 70% around 3:10 minutes avg duration.

So our percentages are very different.

This month for me for views:

Suggested videos: 38%
YouTube Search: 31%
External 25%
Other YouTube Features 1.7%
Direct or unkown 1.9%

I guess it bases rank on watch time based on my 5th having more % of views.

I definitely have to get my suggested videos numbers up. I'm happy that I'm showing up on search as much as I am, but I'd really like for YouTube's algorithms to think my videos are worthy of showing up in suggested videos. Then again, other than the hair videos, my video content is pretty unique.
 
My statistics are as follows:

YouTube channels: 35.4%
External sources: 24.6%
Browse features: 15.3%
Suggested videos: 6.8%
YouTube search: 5.5%
Notifications: 5.1%
Other: 7.3%
