title Factor
Pipe Separator
Whether the title contains a pipe character (|). Pipes are commonly used to separate the headline from a category or channel-style suffix.
Pipes are a news/branding convention rather than a content signal. They tend to appear on professionally-managed channels and may correlate with production-tier as a side effect rather than driving reach themselves. Effect is usually small.

solid pattern
Average Video is the effect on a typical video. Top 10% Video is the effect on the videos that broke out (top decile of views) — so you can see whether a factor helps most videos a little, or pushes the top performers much higher.
When present
The title uses a pipe to separate elements.
