One finding per note, each answered in a few sentences first. The numbers come from The Dark Archive, our study of long-form YouTube channels, or from a named outside source. New terms are in the glossary.
What The Dark Archive found
- 0.83%: how many YouTube channels keep a written archive
Of 1,206 long-form YouTube channels we could measure, 10 republish their videos as text on a site they own. What that gap means for creators and AI search.
- What blocking AI crawlers costs a creator's site
Most creator sites block no AI crawler: 476 of the 528 we scored. What a block changes in ChatGPT, Google and Claude search, from the vendors' own docs.
