More about Subscribers Gained

Subscribers Gained is a growth metric that reflects how many viewers have subscribed to follow your YouTube channel incrementally over periods of time. This metric maps channel growth and can be a good measure of the audience's interest in the content and the channel.

Typically, Subscribers Gained is tracked over the following periods: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 360 days.
