Want outliers from every channel in your niche, filtered to your size?
Try Cuetta OutliersHow it works
Views against the channel's own usual
A big channel's average video can look like a hit. Comparing each video to its own channel shows what really broke out.
Usual views are the channel's typical recent views for the same format. Shorts and long videos are compared separately.

What to do with an outlier
- 1
Study the idea
Outliers show a topic or angle the audience wanted more than usual. Note what it promised.
- 2
Read the packaging
Look at the title and thumbnail together. Most breakouts make one clear promise.
- 3
Make your version
Take the idea, not the video. Add what your viewers ask for and your own angle.
Questions
Outlier checker questions
What is an outlier video?
A video that got far more views than its channel usually gets. Cuetta counts a video as an outlier at 2× the channel's usual views or more.
How are usual views worked out?
From the middle of the channel's recent videos that are at least a week old, so one huge hit doesn't skew it. Shorts and long videos are compared separately.
Is it really free?
Yes. You get 5 checks a day without an account. Cuetta's Outliers tool checks whole niches at once and is on every plan, including Free.
Which videos does it look at?
The channel's newest 50 uploads, using public numbers from YouTube.
Can I check my own channel?
Yes. It's a quick way to see which of your videos broke out and what they have in common.
