Questions
What is a good engagement rate on YouTube?
Likes plus comments around 4–6% of views is typical; below 2% is low, above 8% is strong. Smaller channels usually sit higher because the audience is tighter.
What goes into the rate?
Likes plus comments, divided by views. Shares and saves are not public counts, so the formula sticks to what every video exposes.
Should I compare my rate to a large channel’s?
Compare within your own size and topic. Rates fall as reach grows — a niche channel at 5,000 views per video commonly beats a general one at 5 million.
