RE: A Data-Driven Response to “DO NOT USE PLAYLISTS ON YT”
During the comeback period of "Spill The Feels," a recent post from a fanbase discouraged the use of playlists on YouTube, sparking confusion among Carats regarding proper streaming methods. The post specifically warned, "DO NOT USE PLAYLISTS ON YT," leaving many uncertain about whether playlists would affect streaming counts or results.
Notably, at some point after the mentioned post, some fanbases that encourage playlist streaming received numerous questions and comments like "Why encourage this method?" To address this, we initiated a discussion within a group chat involving various fanbases, asking for insights and data to support the claim. This fanbase only stated that they generally don't recommend playlist use but weren’t strictly against it. However, their post had a tone of outright prohibition, leading to increased inquiries from Carats. When we asked them to elucidate their position with an additional post, they didn’t respond. Our organization, Synergy, subsequently reached out through email, requesting specific data or trials backing up their claim, but again, there was no response.
As a fanbase dedicated to supporting Seventeen through precise and effective streaming methods, we are committed to sharing only the most credible and verified information. Recognized as a streaming-focused community, our priority is to employ methods that will achieve the most favorable and impactful results for Seventeen. We strive to uphold accuracy and transparency in our practices to ensure that our efforts contribute meaningfully to their success. In light of this, we partnered with @SVTBillboard and @17CARATS_INA to conduct our trials and test their assertion that "YouTube will likely treat 10 people using a playlist differently than 1,000+ people using a playlist." Below are the results and conclusions of the 4 streaming methods we tested:
1. Playlist Streaming: Estimated streams appeared within 24 hours, with streams reflecting on the three test videos after 12-13 hours (each video streamed four times across two playlists). This aligns with other trials conducted in similar settings (1TSquad, 2021; SVTBB, 2021; SVTBB, 2021-2022; & SynergyForSVT, 2024).
2. Queueing using Multiselect Extension: Estimated stream counts took 48 hours to appear, and even then, estimated counts were not fully reached, suggesting potential influencing factors (like the use of 2 devices on 1 IP which is approved by the proposer) that require further testing. It’s also important to note that view-reflection took longer compared to the other three streaming methods, appearing after 24 hours or more.
3. Manual Streaming: The streams analyzed showed consistent growth, surpassing their estimated view counts. One video experienced a slight reduction in views—ranging from 1-4% of the total—but its overall usability remained intact. This decrease may have been influenced by external factors, as the streamers followed the established guidelines. The videos achieved their projected view goals real time, with significant increases in viewership during the initial hours after release. The stabilization of views post-streaming highlights a strong engagement trend, providing valuable insights for future streaming strategies.
4. Manual Queueing: Real-time views require approximately 8 hours to be reflected in the external view count. This delay may impact immediate tracking but helps secure views by reducing deletions. While the queued method minimizes deletions, it also means that streaming results take longer to appear in the external view count, delaying immediate analytics. Understanding these dynamics is essential for optimizing viewing strategies and managing expectations regarding real-time performance metrics.

Based on these results, we maintain our prior understanding: streaming via YouTube playlists does count. Carats’ contributions are recorded, and efforts are not wasted. While we recognize the importance of helping one another in supporting our favorite artist, it’s essential to ensure that any advice or caution is fact-checked. A single post having the slightest misinformation, even if well-intentioned, can spread widely and potentially cause confusion. We encourage Carats to cross-verify information with other fanbases and to conduct trials where possible before sharing. Let’s work together to keep our information accurate, especially during comeback periods, to avoid unnecessary disarray and support each other effectively.
