📊 YouTube Analytics Comparison: Narendra Modi vs Dhruv Rathee — A Reality Check on Subscriber Engagement

In today’s digital era, subscriber count can be misleading if not paired with actual engagement metrics.
We analyzed two of India’s biggest YouTube channels — Narendra Modi and Dhruv Rathee — to understand the gap between subscriber numbers and actual viewer activity.

📐 Engagement Calculations Breakdown

Let’s dive into the raw data and estimate how many of these subscribers are actually active — and how many may be inactive or fake.

🔸 Channel A — Narendra Modi

• Subscribers: 28.5 Million

• Expected Real Views (5% industry avg.):
  28.5M × 0.05 = 1,425,000

• Actual Views on Recent Video: 7,700

• View Reach %:
  (7,700 ÷ 28,500,000) ≈ 0.027%

• 💡 Active Subscriber Estimate:
  Assuming active users view 1 in 5 videos:
  7,700 × 5 = 38,500 active subscribers

• ❗ Inactive/Fake Subscribers:
  28,500,000 − 38,500 = 28,461,500

🔸 Channel B — Dhruv Rathee

• Subscribers: 29.1 Million

• Expected Real Views (5%):
  29.1M × 0.05 = 1,455,000

• Actual Views (recent video in 8 days): 18 Million

• View Reach %:
  (18M ÷ 29.1M) ≈ 61.8%

• 💡 Active Subscriber Estimate:
  Given the high and consistent viewership:
  Estimated 20M–25M engaged subscribers

• ❗ Inactive/Fake Subscribers:
  29.1M − 22M ≈ 7.1M (approx.)
