What is Social Blade? Social Blade Review

Description of Social Blade

The purpose of Social Blade's statistics on popular websites on the Internet is to use these data to present them graphically and chart-wise and predict future development trends. Both commercial and individual users can find the data they want here, such as counting user visits, detecting competitors' growth data, and checking popular channels.

Social Blade Development History

Social Blade was previously a user statistics site of Digg, but in 2010 it switched to statistics for the YouTube video site.

Statistics for the Instagram website were added in 2013.

Statistics for Switch were added in 2014.

Social Blade News Time

Social Blade is facing the possibility of being shut down. As YouTube's product team is updating the platform in August, real-time subscriber counts will be hidden. This change will affect third-party websites that use YouTube's API for data analysis, including Social Blade. At the same time, a large number of YouTube channels that specialize in live broadcasts of subscriber count battles (for example, the battle for the number of YouTubers: T-Series vs PewDiePie) will not be able to survive because they will no longer be able to use Social Blade's counter.
