Sempervirens Fund

1.2K subscribers

Sempervirens Fund's avg views/subscriber ratio of 61.7% is well above the 30% benchmark, and the 'Curiosity Stories' series format shows genuine editorial thinking — S2E3 'Redwood Soundscapes' pulled 17,921 views against a 722-video average, a 24.8x outlier that signals real audience appetite for immersive nature storytelling.

Muttville

8.3K subscribers

However, avg views/video of 1,235 against 7,960 subscribers yields only a 15.5% view-to-sub ratio (below the 30% benchmark), and the top video at just 3,972 views suggests the audience is loyal but not growing organically beyond its core base.

North East Medical Services

1.4K subscribers

NEMS produces consistent Chinese-language health education content at 5 videos/month with 180 total videos since 2012, showing sustained community commitment. The view-to-subscriber ratio of 21.2% is below the 30% benchmark, and avg views/video of 284 is modest, but the top video on Medi-Cal policy changes hit 2,524 views — nearly 9x the average — suggesting strong community demand for policy navigation content. Engagement rate of 0.86% is within nonprofit norms, though 0 avg comments and 2 avg likes per video indicate a passive audience that consumes but doesn't interact.
