Methodology
The clock projects the date Diary of a CEO will surpass The Joe Rogan Experience in total YouTube subscribers, using a simple transparent model.
Data
Subscriber counts for both channels are polled daily from the YouTube Data API v3. JRE’s historical series is seeded once from Social Blade for a credible model start; daily API readings extend it going forward. DOAC’s history accumulates from the day this clock launched.
Projection
For each channel we fit a linear regression to the trailing 60 days of subscriber counts. The projected crossover is the date the two fitted lines intersect. If DOAC’s recent growth rate is not strictly greater than JRE’s, no crossover is projected.
Caveats
Linear extrapolation assumes current growth rates persist. Real growth is non-linear; the clock will re-project every day as new data arrives. A 60-day window means the clock reacts to month- scale shifts in trajectory, not week-scale noise.
