Youtube Video Performance Analysis
Understanding YouTube Video Performance through viewer engagement, category trends, and viewership
Dataset Description
This dataset contains information from 79 Youtube Videos, including: Video duration (seconds), engagement rate (audience interaction such as likes and comments v.s channel subscribers), likes to views raito, comments to views ratio, the category of the video based on Youtube's official category ids, and average view counts.
This page aims to help understand how video length and category can impact engagements and performance.
Viewer Engagement Rate vs. Video Duration
The scatter plot above shows that engagement rate does not increase consistently with longer video duration. Most videos lay in between 2% to 6% engagement, regardless of length. There are a few outliers (for example, very high engagement around 20%), but these are not tied to a specific duration.
This suggests that shorter videos are not necessarily more engaging and that longer videos can still perform well but consistency does drop.
Likes to Views and Comments to Views Ratio by Category
This chart reveals a few key differences across video categoreies, the first being that education has the highest likes to views ratio (roughly 6%), indicating strong audience appreciation. Music and entertainment also performs well in likes, whereas how-to & style and people & blogs show lower engagement ratios.
Comments to views ratios are generally low across all categories, but film & animation as well as education show slightly higher comment interaction. This suggests that some categories encourage passive engagement (such as likes), whereas others prompt active engagement (such as comments).
Average View Count (Millions) per Category
This chart highlights major differences in popularity based on cateogry, with people & blogs as well as comedy having the highest average views (10 million to 13 million range). How-to & style and education also perform strongly, but film & animation has surprisingly low average views
This could indicate that high engagement (as shown in chart 2) does not always equal high view count and that some categories are better at reaching large audiences, while others drive deeper interaction.
