This week, we sampled 146 public Photography and Video posts on YouTube. The average view count across the sample is 7576086, down from 11158657 in the previous run. The median engagement rate across all sampled posts sits at 0.04%. ContentScout ranks the top performing hashtags below based on platform data.

ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching photography & video search terms on YouTube and score them by how much engagement they're getting relative to how recently they were posted. Hashtags are ranked by the average views of the posts using them, not by how often they appear. The numbers describe those posts, they don't promise results.
