All-time figures cover only what we have observed since we began tracking this channel on . They are not the channel’s lifetime totals on Twitch.
Daily figures for the last 30 days. A day we never observed is drawn as a gap, never as a zero.
vcarchives, last 30 days.
Total followers recorded each day over the last 30 days.
The axis starts at zero, so a week of growth on a large channel looks small — which is the honest reading.
The same numbers the charts draw, as a table.

Where vcarchives's tracked airtime went in the last 30 days.
How much chat this channel produces for its audience, and how steady its viewer count is. Both are observations, not judgements.
Median for similar channels: 15.3
Median across measured channels: 1.84
Variation in the viewer count between readings, relative to what an audience of independent people would produce. Higher means more variation.
Chat figures come from sampling the public chat of vcarchives for short windows; they count accounts that sent a message, not people watching silently, and most of any audience watches silently. What these numbers do and do not mean.
