Recently, the relevance of such media services as YouTube, Twitch, Instagram has grown rapidly. For example, YouTube has various functions, because there are various genres of videos, such as funny, frivolous videos, as well as some life hacks, movie reviews, criticism, montages, and so on. It would take a long time to list all the genres, but people watch videos both as entertainment and in search of new information and insights. Twitch, in turn, is the most popular service for viewing gaming content live. Instagram is the most convenient and relevant media service where various photos and videos are posted. And today I will tell you how very simple find out the full statistics of any channel.
So, let’s look at how the service works using YouTube as an example:
1) Let's switch to a popular service.
2) Select the service we need:
3) Now, we need to select the channel on which we want to view the statistics. Since the versusbattleru channel has the biggest growth right now, I chose it. So, we need to copy the end of the URL of the desired channel:
4) Now we need to paste the information from the clipboard into the desired field on the site.
5) Voila! We received the channel statistics we needed:
How to use it? For example, let’s look at the growth statistics of subscribers/views. Let's take the dynamics for a certain period:
What do we see from this information? After the battle was published (March 20), the channel began to experience a large increase in subscribers and views. That is, if you are a beginner YouTuber, you can analyze competing channels and find out what this audience likes, which videos brought the most subscribers, and the like. There are also other useful statistics, I hope you will understand this yourself, because the interface is very simple and colorful.
We do the same actions for other services, we just change the category in point number 2.
This is what the statistics look like Twitch.
Whatstat.ru is a convenient ratings and statistics service for YouTube and Twitch channels. It is available to all users on the Internet, with its help you can obtain data on the number of subscribers, views and downloaded video clips completely free of charge and without additional registration.
In this article we will tell you in more detail how to use whatstat.ru and how to get information on the channel or video blogger you are interested in literally in a matter of seconds.
YouTube channel statistics
Let's see in detail what information you can get on this or that blogger on Whatstat. The simplest thing is to use the top menu for sorting. There are 3 filtering methods available here:
Subscribers— to get a list of bloggers with the maximum number of subscribers, click on this button and whatstat.ru will sort from maximum to minimum number. Currently, the blogger Get Movies, who is number 1 on this list, has the largest number of subscribers. 
By views— this function allows you to sort the selected views.
Video— this function sorts bloggers by the number of videos posted.
Estimated income— this column provides an approximate estimated income, which is calculated on whatstat.ru using special algorithms. It depends on the number of views and the average cost per 1000 impressions in a particular topic. If you are interested in the question, then you should remember that the indicated figures are only a rough guide. They are not a reliable source of reliable data, but are for comparative and indicative purposes only. 
The estimated income is actually quite far from the true one, and in no way reflects the real earnings of this or that blogger. A video blogger’s earnings often depend not only on the number of impressions, but also on orders for paid advertising, which are directly paid for by advertisers.
Nevertheless, the estimated income on the website whatstat.ru can serve as a rough guide when comparing the earnings of two or several video bloggers with each other. Also, these figures will help you navigate the profitability of a particular niche, its demand and level of competition when deciding to create your own channel on YouTube.
YouTube channel rating
In addition to the usual sorting on whatstat.ru, you can use a ready-made rating and look at the TOP 100, TOP 200 or TOP 500 popular bloggers on YouTube. Before this, select the appropriate rating from the list of categories, which is located in the left sidebar of the site. The service will display a list of the 100 most popular channels, regardless of their topic. In this way, you can watch up to 500 of the most popular and promoted channels on YouTube. 
If you are interested in a specific niche or topic, then whatstat.ru has an additional detailed rubricator for this. With its help, you can get data about the most popular bloggers in a particular category. Currently, analysis can be carried out in the following topics:
- animals;
- computer games;
- people and blogs;
- music;
- science and technology;
- news and politics;
- education, society;
- trips;
- entertainment;
- sport;
- transport;
- films and animation;
- hobby and style;
- humor.
This information will help to conduct a closer analysis in specific niches, identify opinion leaders and study in detail what topics and how often new videos are posted, how many views, likes and comments they collect, etc. 
For example, if you want to create your own channel with reviews or streams of computer games, you can go to the “Computer Games” section and use the top menu of whatstat.ru for sorting in order to further study the most popular channels in detail. To go directly to the YouTube video channel itself, you need to click on the name and it will open in a separate tab on the site youtube.com.
Here you can already see with your own eyes which videos are being posted, which videos are in greatest demand and receive the maximum number of views and likes. Analyzing the numbers in the “Video” column on whatstat.ru will allow you to figure out how many videos you need to create to achieve popularity.
Analyzing this list on whatstat.ru, you can see that some video bloggers needed to create more than 5,000 videos, and some only 100-200. It should be understood here that the number of videos cannot 100% guarantee a large number of views. A lot depends on the topic, relevance, presentation, personal qualities of the blogger and just basic luck. 
Twitch channel statistics
The whatstat.ru service also provides statistics for Twitch channels. You need to go to the “Twitch” section in the top menu of the site.
Here you will see all popular channels, which can be sorted by two parameters: followers and views. mainly used for streaming or live online broadcasts of games. That is why next to the name there is a “Game” item. It indicates the name of the game to which this channel is dedicated. 
Twitch today, without exaggeration, can be considered a top video streaming site, where gaming media content and live broadcasts from e-sports and live tournaments are most often broadcast. Over the past 5 years, the platform has gained popularity among the poker community, and interest in it is growing literally by leaps and bounds.
