All comparisons use 2026 YTD (01 Jan – 16 Aug 2026, 228 days) against the same 228-day window of 2025. Full-year 2025 is shown for scale only and must not be used for YoY conclusions.
Toggle the metric in the header bar to switch every monthly chart between Views, Revenue and RPM. August 2026 holds 16 days only and is drawn as a hatched, dashed partial point.
Q3 2026 covers 47 of 92 days and is flagged PARTIAL QUARTER — its QoQ and YoY figures compare a part-quarter against full quarters and cannot be read as a trend.
Content groups are taken verbatim from the export: Video, Shorts, Posts. Click any bar segment or table row to open the content-type drawer.
Where views are coming from, 2026 YTD against the same 228 days of 2025. Toggle the chart between absolute views, share of channel views, and YoY change.
New vs returning viewers across the three reporting periods. Shares are measured on views, not on unique people.
Revenue categories are exactly those present in the export. All figures are YouTube estimated revenue in USD before revenue share. RPM = USD per 1,000 views.
Per-video detail is exported only for the top videos of each period. The 2025 column is a full-year total and the 2026 column is YTD — the two columns are not directly comparable; the YoY column uses the same-period 2025 cut where the export provides it.
Every card below states a measured fact with its metric, period, evidence and source sheet. Statements labelled INTERPRETATION are readings of that fact, not findings of the report.
This section is interpretation, not report data. It is a proposed operating model built on top of the measured figures above. No number in this section originates from the workbook unless explicitly cited, and every forward-looking target is marked TO BE VALIDATED.
