How we Rank these Gaming Influencers
Subscribers, views, and comments can now be manipulated. At Crowdcreate, we use a proprietary ranking formula based on these factors.
1.) Peer scoring. We ask the experts and run surveys asking other influencers, founders, and investors who ranks at the top of their list.
2.) Quality Content. How good is the content that these influencers are creating?
3.) Subscriber Growth Rate. A faster growing following shows more influence. The number of subscribers isn’t as important as how fast an influencer is growing.
4.) Community Engagement. Our propriety formula includes metrics such as average view counts, organic mentions from other platforms and channels, and audience retention.
5.) Comments. An engaged following that posts genuine comments that aren’t generated by bots or spam is how to spot a good influencer.
