title Factor

Plus Sign

Whether the title contains a plus sign (+), often signaling addition of related items or a 'BONUS' inclusion.

Plus signs are uncommon in political YouTube titles and typically signal compilation or roundup content. The base rate is low so any estimated effect is noisy.

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.
