Terms of use

Last updated 4 November 2026

By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What the site offers

Viewershift publishes statistics about public YouTube channels and videos: lists, trending videos and market reports. They are built from publicly visible YouTube pages, as described on the About page. Viewershift is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

Reusing what you see

You may quote, cite and link to individual figures, charts and report findings, for example in an article, a pitch or a class, as long as you name Viewershift as the source and link to the page you took them from.

You may not copy the site's data in bulk, republish lists or reports wholesale, or build a competing dataset or service from them. Data for that kind of use is available under a licence; ask us for a quote.

Fair use of the site

Do not scrape the site, send automated requests beyond what an ordinary search engine crawler sends, get round rate limits or access controls, or try to reach data that is not shown to you. We may block traffic that does.

Accuracy and estimates

We work to keep the figures correct, but they come from public pages that can be rounded, delayed or changed by YouTube, and some figures are estimates, labelled as such. The site is provided “as is”, without any warranty that it is complete, accurate or available. Do not rely on it as the only basis for a financial or business decision. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that come from using the public site.

Clients

Per-channel and per-video data, custom reports and data licences are provided under a separate agreement. Where that agreement and these terms differ, the agreement applies.

Channel owners

If you run a channel and want a correction or want it left out of our public lists and reports, see Corrections and removal.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version; using the site after a change means you accept it. Questions are welcome at hello@viewershift.com or through the contact form.
