Signal over supply, a review of my own channel
A review of my channel's numbers found a reporting bug and a volume problem.
I had Claude review my Synthiq Labs channel and the pipeline that runs it.
It found that my click-through reporting had been failing for three weeks, because my code asked for two metrics that do not exist. YouTube's Reporting API is the fix.
When weekly uploads went from 15 to 26, views fell 8 percent and Shorts-feed impressions fell 55 percent.
It also corrected an earlier mistake of mine about which goal was really holding the channel back.
