Subscriber velocity

The rate at which a channel gains subscribers per upload or per day.

Subscriber velocity is a lagging indicator. It rises 7–30 days after upload velocity and engagement velocity rise.

Tracking it weekly produces a clearer signal than tracking it daily.

Velocity matters more than total subs for assessing trajectory.
