How the audience is counted
Combined audience means the sum of follower or subscriber counts across counted public platforms. It does not mean unique people. Views count plays, not followers; engagement measures interactions; reach and impressions measure exposure. These are different metrics and are not added together.
Analytics vendors refresh at different times and may report slightly different totals. They are third-party measurements, not platform statements. The page excludes earnings estimates, net-worth estimates, and vendor ranking claims.
