Common questions

What does the number on the badge mean?

It is the video's views divided by the channel's subscribers. 12.4× means the video has 12.4 times as many views as the channel has subscribers. A high number points to a topic that reaches far beyond the channel's own audience.

What are the tiers?

Gold: 50× or more with at least 500K views. Hot: 10× or more with at least 100K views. Viral: 50× or more. Rising: 10× or more. Good: 2× or more. Mid: 0.2× to 2×. Low: below 0.2×. Hover over a badge to see the exact numbers.

A video has no badge, or says "subs hidden".

Videos with fewer than 1,000 views get no badge. "subs hidden" means the channel hides its subscriber count, so no ratio can be calculated. If badges are missing everywhere, reload the YouTube tab once after installing or updating the extension.

The badge is not visible on a Short.

On the Shorts player the badge sits above the channel name. YouTube hides that area while a Short is loading or when the mouse is away. Move the mouse over the video to show it.

How do I open the channel outliers?

Open any channel page and click "Channel outliers" at the bottom right, or use the button in the extension popup. To open it on every channel automatically, turn on "Open channel outliers automatically" in the popup.

How do I export or delete my data?

Click "Outliers" at the bottom right of any YouTube page. "Export CSV" downloads every analysed video. "Clear" deletes the list from your browser. Removing the extension also deletes it.

Does the extension send my data anywhere?

No. Everything stays in your browser, and the extension only talks to YouTube. See the privacy policy.
