YouTube demographic analytics
-
YouTube only allows me to see demographic analytics for two of my videos: [video a] [video b]
Video A says men watched 57 hours and women watched 0, but the video has 259 hours watched and 4032 views.
Video B says men watched 5 hours and women watched 0, but the video has 24 hours watched and 562 views.
[video c] is a video I posted that reached 1000 views today (at the time of this post, it has 1004 views and 102 hours watched). However, video c does not have any demographic information available to me at all.
Of the 872 hours and 15069 views on my channel, I know that 62 hours and about a third of the views are from men. How do I get YouTube to tell me anything about the other 92% of the watch time?

Maybe it's from anonymous users that youtube doesn't have demographic information on?

This seems like the most likely explanation. (Or at least they won't admit they have demographic information on them, since they're not logged in.) I seem to recall you have stats of logged-in vs. anonymous views; do they roughly correlate?

Ask people to not turn on "Tell websites not to track me" (or whatever it's called).

@ben_lubar also, probably not everyone specifies their gender in Youtube profile.

Well, I know that 8% of my viewers are men and 92% are somehow people who Google has not generated a profile for.

Google knows

@ben_lubar My work Google account that I'm signed into at the moment has "unknown" for gender and age, so it's probably more common than you think.
