Well, the final numbers are in for 2025. Not sure if the decline is due to me or the fact that fewer people are using Access, but here they are.
Every metric is down except for views on my #1 video. Weird.
Oh well, not going to stop be from doing what I love doing... which is making awesome Access content. However, I do plan on adding videos from more topics this year. SQL Server, Excel, Word, Windows... for real this time.
I know I've been saying this for a few years now, but I'm going to try my best to work in at least one new video from a different topic every week.
At 100k subscribers, you get the silver pin from YouTube. I got that a few years back. The next pin isn't until a million subscribers, and you get the gold pin, so I gotta live to be 204... or start making stupid cat videos.

Do you have a way to count your views on your website? I don't go to YT anymore for your videos. The player on your site is much better for me.
I don't track individual video views, but I do track page views, so I can generate a list of which pages have generated the most views. I only track views from logged-in members. I don't just track the general public, cause I really don't care. Most of the general public finds me on YouTube. I can generate that metric, and I haven't done it in quite a while, so that's a good idea. I should probably generate that report and see what's going on with that. Hold on...
I'd say these results are mostly as expected, since the vast majority of people that come to my site sign up to the beginner lessons and watch those, which is good. Expert 1, 2, and 3 are in there. Developer 50 showing up high on the list is surprising.
I'm happy that the Captain's Log is getting some readers, of course. The blank template and invoicing TechHelp templates are high up there. SQL server online is up there too. I'm glad to see Fitness is on there.
These are logged-in users and their unique views. If someone views a page six times, it'll still just count as one view. And again, I don't track the general public. Well, I do in my server logs, obviously, and I can generate a report showing overall page hits, but since that could include bots and other meaningless traffic, the data is basically useless.
