Files
- daily_sessions_users_2026-09-01_2026-10-31.csv: GA4 sessions, active users, engagement hours (user engagement time = time with ViewGrid in the foreground, not video playback; the series jumps on 22 Sep 2026 after a measurement change), engaged sessions, per property day.
- grid_size_distribution_2026-10.csv: grids by the largest number of streams reached during the grid's life (first-party signal; not simultaneous playback).
- platform_combinations_2026-10.csv: grids by the exact set of platforms seen during the grid's life.
- session_starts_by_hour_utc_2026-10.csv: GA4 session_start event counts by hour, labels converted from Istanbul time to UTC (19,129 events in total).
- session_starts_by_weekday_2026-10.csv: GA4 session_start event counts by weekday in the Istanbul calendar, with the number of such weekdays in October 2026 (for per-day averages).
- countries_2026-10.csv: the 32 countries/regions with at least 50 GA4 active users (of 154 named plus one unlocated row): active users, sessions, engagement hours. Sort by the metric you need.
- event_topics_2026-10.csv: the same requests summed by topic tag (an event page can carry up to three tags; two October pages carry two, so topic sums slightly exceed the page total).
- event_page_requests_2026-10.csv: requests to event grid links for all 63 event pages, with type and topic tags with at least one request (2 admin and 1 test request removed; 3,348 in total). A request is not confirmed playback. Before 25 October, some fixed-channel event links were not counted, and earlier records may include unmarked internal requests. The three MPL Season 18 pages overlap in time; do not sum them.
