Website Audience service

TheFreeMike Website Audience is Mike’s personal connection for publishing aggregate audience figures on thefreemike.com. Website visitors do not sign in with Google or grant this service access to their accounts.

With the channel owner’s permission, the service reads YouTube channel statistics and daily view totals through the YouTube Data and Analytics APIs. It publishes only the subscriber count, an aggregate 28-day view count and its date range, and update timestamps. It also reads an approximate Discord member count through the community’s public invite. It does not request monetary analytics, upload permissions, or permission to modify the channel.

Authorization credentials are stored as server-side Cloudflare Worker secrets, not in the website’s public files. Cloudflare processes the scheduled API requests and stores the latest successful aggregate figures. Daily Analytics rows are processed to calculate the aggregate, rather than stored in the public cache. Provider failures leave the last successful aggregate and its date visible.

TheFreeMike Website Audience’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is not sold or used for personalized advertising.

The channel owner can revoke access through Google Account permissions. To request disconnection or deletion of cached figures and credentials, contact [email protected]. Revoking access stops future authorized retrieval; the last cached figures must be removed separately. Publicly displayed figures may have been copied by third parties.
