my DMX Ducktales mashup has an interesting viewership graph for its lifetime.

It's like every now and then it starts to slowly ramp up over half a year, and then just drop to zero.

People are discovering almost solely from searching for a different mashup, and suggestions.

It currently has about 21K views, and I only actively advertised it myself at the release, hence the much bigger spike there.

My Titanic animation is also an interesting look into how the YouTube algorithm was the sole contributor to any of the views. It was favoured for 2 years. About 350K total views, only 25K of those after the big drop in May 2014.

I never advertised it, and mostly dislikes.

A zoom on the basically flat line from 2014 till today also shows some patterns.

This graph is of a YouTube tutorial on a super niche topic for the creation of Spherical maps for 3D.

Very consistent amount of low views. Guess there's always a small demand for a very niche tutorial that few need.

And this Arduino project basically only gained a few views when it was shared on reddit once.
