Posting Cadence
How often the channel posted videos in the 30 days before this video went up. Measured at the moment of publish, so it captures the channel's posting rhythm in the weeks leading up to the video — not a long-term average.
YouTube's algorithm rewards consistent uploaders with better notification delivery and home-feed placement. More importantly, frequent posting builds a subscriber habit: viewers know to check in. The question this factor answers is whether there's a sweet spot — does posting every day diminish returns, or does more always beat less?
Each value below shows two numbers when available: Regular/Shorts is the effect on a typical video, and Top 10% is the effect on the videos that broke out (top decile of views). Use the Top 10% column to see what disproportionately helps videos that go big.
