YouTube engagement is measured by comments, likes, and shares relative to views. A video with 10 million views and 200 comments has very different audience dynamics than one with 1 million views and 50,000 comments. PJQ tracks the engagement ratio — comments per 1,000 views — that separates passive watching from active participation. Gaming and News categories consistently show the highest engagement ratios on YouTube.
