Numbers

The Lab

We publish our numbers so you can hold us to them. They come from three YouTube channels we own and run, read on Oct 2, 2026, and they include what did not work.

Every figure on this page has five parts: the value, the metric, the window, the as-of date and the source. If a part is missing, the number is not here. The method comes first, then the scoreboard, one block per channel, then the misses.

These are channels and systems we own and run. They are not client results and are not a forecast of yours.

Method

How we count, and what we leave out.

Read before the numbers

Who measured, with what, on which day, and what is missing.

Who measured: We did, on channels we own. No third-party estimates appear anywhere on this page.
With what: The YouTube Data API, read through our own tooling. Lifetime figures come from each channel’s public About page.
When: Windowed figures are as of Oct 2, 2026, 5:53 pm PDT. Lifetime figures were read on Oct 2, 2026.
Windows: A window is a channel’s 50 most recent uploads, public only, so the windows differ in length: Carousel Studios & Lab, 14 days; Gim Ho Games, 8 days; Justin Gim Ho Cheung, 49 days. Gim Ho Games shows 29 public videos because the rest of its latest 50 were private when we read it. We never add views or counts across channels.
Definitions: Public views are YouTube’s own count for a video at the as-of time. They are each video’s lifetime views, not views earned inside the window. Median views per video is the middle value across the window’s public, non-livestream videos. Like rate is public likes divided by public views. A Short here is a public video of three minutes or less, the maximum YouTube’s Help page gives for a Short (read Oct 2, 2026). Anything longer is long-form.
Left out: Private uploads, and livestream placeholders with zero duration. On Justin Gim Ho Cheung, public stream entries are counted on their own and kept out of its other figures.
Stream entries: YouTube keeps listing a broadcast as a public video with its full duration even when the recording is unavailable. We call these public stream entries and check each one. Of the 22 public stream entries in the window, 6 still play back and 16 do not (checked Oct 3, 2026, by opening each entry’s public watch page once).
Not shown: Watch time, retention and revenue. We have no dated exports archived yet, so none of them is on this page.

The window holds one long-form upload, The Night Edition. It has its own entry under Misses.

Carousel Shorts are presented by an AI version of Justin, and the narration is his cloned voice. Each Short’s YouTube description says so.

The rest of its latest 50 uploads were private when we read the channel, so the window is short.
