Comment on Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits: Users will now see seven-day metrics that track active visitors and contributions instead.

to be fair, a minority of video creators (and nearly no subreddits) have very long or sporadic upload schedules, which would make the MAU metric be weird bursts. MAU works for regular content which Reddit pretty much always is while only the top YouTube creators do that.

Weekly active users here.

Also, just show the new stat. No need to hide the subscriber total.

  So for a channel that releases like 10 videos a year?
  
  Tbh I could probably think of something but really what is even the point in it? Like it doesn’t even matter to me how many people are watching a youtube video. At least a community on lemmy the active users are the people you are talking to. But watching a video is the same with 1 or 1B views.

    Remember that my original comment was pointing out that YouTubers would flip out if they switched to this metric.
    
    I agree with you.

  Weekly would make the problem even worse.
