Social Blade

Also called: socialblade

It reads publicly available counts through platform APIs and presents history, daily changes and rankings, which makes it genuinely useful for tracking how a channel or a competitor is trending over time. The earnings figures are the part to distrust. They are derived from view counts against a broad assumed rate, with no knowledge of a channel's actual RPM, sponsorships or other income, which is why the ranges span an order of magnitude and why creators who publish real numbers rarely match them. Treat the estimates as entertainment and the view history as data.
