How to read this channel

History with Dave is a 79,200-subscriber channel (about 16 months old) working mainly in Documentary / History, publishing first in Hindi. The radar tracks 2 of its uploads. Its strongest signal (breakout score 3.9× the dataset median) reaches 22.6× the channel's subscriber count and has averaged 12,611 views a day since it was published 142 days ago, on “The ENTIRE History of Medieval Europe (NO AI)” (1,790,732 views). That is a lifetime average, not a current rate — one capture per video means this dataset cannot distinguish a video that is still climbing from one that already peaked.

There is one statistic this page deliberately does not print: a per-channel “share of uploads that reached 3×”. Every video on this site cleared that floor before it could be tracked at all, so the figure would read 100% for every channel and would distinguish nothing. What is left instead: 2 tracked uploads pulling 2,263,166 views between them, the strongest reaching 22.6× its audience. Repeated strong reach across several uploads is the part that suggests a format; one outlier is not. The hook patterns the tracker infers from its titles are statement / cold open (2), and the production choices that repeat are no-face format (no host on camera), ai historical reenactment (period visuals), non-english market spoken first, global subs second.

What to copy and what to skip: copy the packaging pattern (title structure, the promise made in the first seconds, the episode length that keeps working) and skip the parts that only this channel can do — an existing subscriber base, cross-posting, or a back catalogue that feeds recommendations. Then compare this channel against the others on its category board: same niche, different market, different length. That comparison is where the transferable part usually hides.
