Creator Rankings by measured quality — not subscriber count
CQS™ scores every creator against their own category's engagement distribution, comment authenticity, upload consistency and audience activation. Subscriber count is deliberately excluded. BRS™ flags creators whose audiences show no measurable interaction.
CQS™ and BRS™ are VidChart's proprietary editorial scores. They are not YouTube metrics and are not derived from, endorsed by, or affiliated with the YouTube Data API or Google LLC. All raw data — views, likes, comments, subscriber counts — comes directly from the YouTube Data API v3 and belongs to YouTube.
"Interacting audience" = subscribers × the observed like-and-comment rate on recent videos. It measures observable interaction only. Most genuine viewers watch without pressing any button, so a low interaction rate is not evidence of fraud or purchased subscribers. It is, however, the only audience-aliveness signal available in public data — and it is computed identically for every creator, which is what makes them comparable. VidChart reports the record. We do not render verdicts on any creator's integrity.
