A metric that remains inaccessible to the playlist creator, the count of accesses to a collection of songs on the YouTube Music platform, when the visibility is restricted. For example, even if a user compiles a collection of favorite tracks and designates it as private, the system does not provide the compiler with quantitative data related to its use.
The absence of this data point presents a notable limitation for curators. Understanding the relative popularity, or lack thereof, of their compilations could provide insights into personal listening habits and preferences. Historically, similar metrics have been employed across various digital platforms to gauge content engagement and inform personal choices regarding content creation and curation.
