YouTube Rolls Out New Updates, Including New Shorts Analytics

YouTube has released several new changes and enhancements to assist creators to enhance their performance in the app, which include improved Shorts analytics, updated songwriter and musician resources, and new comparison audience tools in your performance data.

These stats provide more detailed information on how various viewership groups are reacting to your content.
