View Rate (views-to-subscribers)
The ratio of a channel's average post views to its subscriber count, expressed as a percentage. A 50,000-subscriber channel averaging 10,000 views per post has a 20% view rate. Healthy public channels typically sit between 10% and 40%; the figure naturally drops for very large channels (a 10M-subscriber channel at 3–8% is normal). An unusually low view rate on a sizable channel is a classic signal of an inactive or inflated audience, which is why it is one of the inputs to an audience-quality estimate. Note that views can exceed subscribers when posts are widely forwarded, so a high view rate is not by itself a quality concern.
