Description
This event tracks whether Kanye West achieves specific levels of global daily views on YouTube within a defined week. The outcome depends on whether his view count surpasses various thresholds at any point during the period, measured from a New York IP address to ensure consistency.
Kalshi
The event evaluates multiple thresholds for Kanye West's global daily YouTube views from October 19 to October 25, 2026. Each market corresponds to a distinct view count benchmark—ranging from above 4 million to above 8 million views. For any market to resolve as 'Yes,' Kanye West must exceed the specified threshold at least once during the week. All markets use view counts reported from a New York IP address to standardize the measurement, ensuring consistent evaluation across all thresholds. The data source for view counts is YouTube Charts, with 'Global' selected as the location filter. Importantly, YouTube has not endorsed these markets, and references to YouTube are purely descriptive, indicating no formal affiliation or endorsement by YouTube.
