YouTube Outlier Checker

Paste any channel URL and get its top 3 outliers — the videos that outperformed the channel's own median.

What is an outlier video?

An outlier is a video that performs far above what is normal for that channel: its views divided by the channel's median. A 3× outlier on a small channel is as meaningful a signal as one on a big channel — the audience voted unusually hard for that topic or that hook. Two details most tools get wrong: we compare against the median, not the average (one viral hit skews an average for years), and long-form and Shorts are measured separately — on mixed channels a shared baseline distorts scores several-fold.

What to do with outliers

Outliers are your niche's proven demand. Study what the top videos of your competitors have in common — topic, angle, title pattern — and make your own take before the demand cools. The step this tool can't do for you is the why: Younalyse reads the comments of outlier videos with AI and tells you what exactly the audience responded to.
