Long-form watch time is the only thing counting toward the 4,000-hour threshold.
At your current 30-day rate you're banking — hours a year
against a 4,000 target. Shorts views don't count, and neither does paid-boosted watch time.
0—4,000 HRS
This is a run-rate projection, not a balance. YouTube counts your trailing
twelve months, and the channel only got hot in the last thirty days — so your accumulated
total is well below this. The number says: if the next year looks like the last month,
you land at 2,396 of 4,000.
Global growth · all platforms indexed Live + logged
Every platform starts at 100 on its first reading, so a 10-listener Spotify
and a 17,000-subscriber YouTube can share one axis. The line shape is growth rate, not size —
a steep Spotify line off a tiny base is still a small number. Log snapshots on each
platform tab to give the lines something to draw.

Shorts vs long-form · 30 days
Shorts pull 5.3× the views but far less watch time per view. Top of funnel, not the engine.

Encodes the address directly into the pattern. No server, nothing to maintain,
works as long as the destination does \u2014 but the destination can never be changed once printed,
and scans can't be counted.

Directional, not gospel. Volume and competition are real search data; the composite score is a model that has been wrong before. 70→95 means something; 89 vs 90 doesn't.
