How often do the figures update?

Every tracked channel is read again once an hour, on a clock in the background rather than when a page is opened. A channel two readers follow is read once for both of them, so the cost of a popular channel does not grow with its audience.

How many channels can I follow?

It depends on the plan, and the page shows how many of them you are using. Removing a channel frees the slot straight away.

Why does a figure sometimes show a dash?

Because that reading did not carry it. A count that cannot be stated with confidence comes back empty rather than guessed at, and an empty figure is never drawn as a zero.

Channel tracker

Paste a channel link and it becomes a card, read again every hour. It stops being a snapshot and becomes a line: what has been gained, how fast, and whether the channel still posts.

What it does

Any public channel, added from its link or its @handle. Yours works the same way.
Subscribers, total views, uploads, the date of the last upload, and the views on the newest five videos.
A line on the card, and a page of its own with subscribers, views and uploads as separate charts over a window you pick.
Every channel is read once an hour, on a clock rather than on a page view, so the figures move while you are away.
Two readers following the same channel share one record and one reading, so a popular channel is not read twice.
A reading that did not carry a figure is kept out of the line rather than drawn as a fall, so a flat stretch means flat rather than unknown.
Included with a plan, and it spends no credits. How many channels a plan follows is stated on the plan.

How it works

01 Open the Research tab and paste a channel link, or type its @handle.
02 The first reading is on the card straight away.
03 Come back later, or open the channel page, and the card says what changed since it was added.
