Real time for the last 48 hours is nice, as it's an easy way to catch a video that happens to spike.

I thought this was interesting. Can you go into more detail? How do you use real time views to shedule your uploads?

Are you waiting until your views slow down and then you upload? Or are you using real time views to experiment with what days and times get the best results? Or is it something else altogether?

I think the idea is to post at your busiest time. For me, my best hour is either friday or saturday night 10-11pm, so i try to post then (but I hardly ever post at ideal times). I figure it is when there are the most viewers watching my particular niche on YT.

Also, doesn't it send a notification to (active) subscribers when you upload? They would get that notification then when they are most likely to be online.

Used to be views, now it's earnings. Although now the realtime views for the whole channel is getting pretty addictive too!

I love search results, It's hilarious how many people have actually searched for sequels to some of my videos, gives me a clue what to make next

The first one I always look at it minuets watched.. I also like to check if my amount of EVERYTHING has gone up since the last 30 days (if that makes sense).. I'm a noob at all of this kind of stuff though so.. haha.....

Audience retention is extremely important to me because it want to make great videos that are engaging

Realtime, since it allows me to easily see how my most recent videos are doing.

Of course like most I look at them all but I pay the most attention to Audience Retention. It's also fun to see what countries view your content and some of the Demographics are just weird!
