Aja Kitchen amassed 29.6 million subscribers by January 2026 without ever saying a word on camera. It grew from zero in 2021 to nearly 30 million in five years, all of it silent ASMR videos about Indian cuisine. The secret is that the channel has accidentally overcome two problems: without a single word, there's no need for translation or subtitles, the audience is global from day one, and the sound of cooking and c…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Reaction mix
1 reaction across 1 post, in 1 kind.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👌 | 1 | 100.0% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 1 of the 15 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 1reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 15 most recent posts we hold, published 13 June 2026 to 8 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Editing is complete. Think the work is over? Not really. After editing, an equally important stage begins: video presentation. This is where YouTube receives the following information: ✔️ What the video is about; ✔️ Who to show it to; ✔️ What language it's recorded in; ✔️ Are there any copyright violations; ✔️ Can it be recommended to viewers? If you fill everything out correctly, the algorithm will have a much ea…
Open your YouTube Studio right now: at least five things have quietly changed in recent months, and some creators still aren't aware of them: 1) Ask YouTube, an AI assistant right in the interface. 2) AI Labels, mandatory labeling of synthetic content. 3) Parental controls for teen accounts. 4) Auto-created AI playlists. 5) YouTube has completely removed the Clips feature, short clips from other people's longer …
1 MILLION views a day! That's how many views the creators of the survival channel are getting for their latest video. This channel was already doing well. But now, you could say, it's taken off. The "survival" niche is extremely popular. But so far, it's mostly tough guys who survive there. There aren't many girls in this niche yet. That's why the channel is gaining momentum. YouTube recognized the interest and gav…

People don't subscribe to "everything." They subscribe to a promise. "Here they'll teach me how to cook quickly." "Here they'll help me figure out how to manage my houseplants." "Here they'll tell you honestly about moving." When viewers understand what they'll get from your channel, they're much more likely to click the "Subscribe" button.
Why Most Channels Fail to Grow "I want to film a little bit of everything." If you've ever found yourself thinking this, you're not alone. This is the most common mistake new creators make. It seems that the broader the topic, the more people will be interested. But on YouTube, it works the other way around. Imagine you visit a channel. Today, it's a pie recipe. Tomorrow, a vacuum cleaner review. A week later,…

Did you know that one video can turn into five? 🤯 Most aspiring creators shoot a video, publish it... and then go off to come up with the next one. But experienced creators do things differently. From one long video, they get: ✔️ a full-length episode; ✔️ several Shorts; ✔️ ideas for new videos; ✔️ posts for the community. That's why they don't have to rack their brains every day over the question: "What should I…
Showing the 12 most recent of 15 posts we hold for @creator_tools. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
