Looks cool! curious how you sourced and tagged the channels? We have a few popular anatomy channels in different languages[0], but I couldn’t find any of our videos when searching for “anatomy” and also results were quite mixed. Some videos were quite unrelated or very loosely related at best. [0] main one in English https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHn_K1zOBYZqtmIYkXLEIQw

It's in the database: https://limnology.co/en/creators/UCHn_K1zOBYZqtmIYkXLEIQw

And on the second page for the anatomy keyword https://limnology.co/en/languages/en/keywords/anatomy?page=2

I think it got somewhat downranked because of the recent views/subscribers mismatch

YT is absolute garbage... we should call out the ACTUAL people responsible for just how terrible their UX is. If anyone is hiring and someone says they did UX at YT - do not hire them.

Unless you and your business care more about monies than what people say on social media, and your company is suddenly making more money then... I guess hire them?

I find it hilarious that "Indian English" is a separate category

Why?

IIRC Indian English has almost 250m speakers, which is in the same ballpark as what we'd call American English and has its own, distinct features as much as AmE vs. BrE.

Edit: added context

Thank you for posting this. Moreover Google is a spyware company that holds users hostages for money. I wish Twitch can replace Youtube someday.

I had to split it because the sheer size of Indian audiences breaks all the metrics, and yet those videos would not be super relevant in the west as a very large percentage of the Indian educational youtube consists of various kinds of local exam/test preparation channels

I am outraged that the "English" option has the USA flag! It should be the St. George's cross, or at the very least (and most practically) the Union Jack.

It makes sense if you go by size of English-speaking population.

…but then it might be replaced by an Indian or Nigerian flag in a few decades :)
