The split is the channel’s total gain divided between videos uploaded in the period (all of their views count) and everything older. “Driving views now” ranks the videos whose views we re-check regularly; that is not every video, so the list shows the biggest contributors we know of, not a complete breakdown. Figures are rounded.
Subscribers by month
SmoothedA smoothed curve with one value per month. YouTube rounds public subscriber counts, so the curve passes through the middle of each rounding step and bridges stretches between data points.

Subscribers and uploads timeline
Every upload placed on the subscriber curve
1,782 uploads from 1 Mar 2008 to 6 Nov 2026
Each circle is one or more uploads; uploads close together in time share a circle, with the number of videos inside. Pick a shorter range or drag the slider handles to pull them apart. YouTube rounds public subscriber counts, so the line is a smoothed curve that passes through the middle of each rounding step and bridges stretches between data points, with one value per month.
Each marker is a video placed on the day it was published. Videos published close together are grouped.
