Figure: Correlation between YouTube search ranking (positions 1–20) and the volume of viewer comments, illustrating a sharp decline in comments as ranking falls.
This line graph plots “Number of Video Comments” (y-axis) against “YouTube Ranking” positions 1 through 20 (x-axis). Videos at position 1 average about 5,000 comments; positions 2–5 range between 2,800 and 3,500; and lower positions steadily decline to roughly 2,000–2,500 comments. The trend underscores the strong engagement advantage of top-ranked videos.
