These are really cool questions!
 
To ease everyone’s anxiety, I’m going to use a quote, “Focus on the donut, not the hole.” You guys are all amazing for what you’ve done and how far you’ve come along. Look at the films you created, be proud of yourself! Don’t get too anxious about things outside of your control.
Thank you! Yes let's be positive (well not in the sense of covid) and keep creating great stuff!
 
Hey everyone!

I know many people have mentioned that analytics can be inaccurate, but I was trying to find information online about how this is the case (especially in cases where a video is unlisted and/or has only been sent to very few people).

I was looking specifically at information about YouTube as this is what I used for most schools, and most threads seemed to suggest that YT analytics were pretty accurate. Frankly, I hope they are not, but I was wondering what the specific arguments were against the accuracy of analytics. To me, they seem pretty detailed...
 
Has anyone received mail? I am just losing my mind. On YouTube analytics it’s showing I got 10-12 views from Slideroom — is that good? Bad? I have no idea.
