How these figures were gathered

Every count on this page is the latest dated figure recorded in Wikidata, the free, openly licensed knowledge base, for the account linked on the creator's Peekworthy profile. They are not live numbers, and different people's figures were recorded on different dates, so each one shows its own date. Growth is measured only between recorded figures for the same account; windows differ from person to person and are shown in each row.

Peekworthy lists people whose recorded occupation includes an internet creator role such as YouTuber, TikToker, streamer or podcaster. Companies and brand channels are not included.
