The Apr 29 peak of 146,401 comes from the Apr 28 post's next-day exposure. Other days stayed within a 10k–40k range.
A month defined by one outlier
The Apr 29 spike (146k) is the Apr 28 post's second-day exposure (cumulative 193k for that post). Removing it, the average of the remaining 27 days is 21,044. That is Tamao's "typical daily views" baseline for May. Without a megahit, the normal band is 10,000–30,000 views/day.

Key Observations
Audience profile matches top-post themes
The follower base is 25–44 year old males, 77% Cambodian and 17% Japan-resident. The top posts — wages, weak yen, government intervention — are exactly the topics that affect Cambodian migrant workers in Japan. High views aren't accidental; they reflect content resonating with the actual audience.
Monetization: first 10 days
$2.91 across 10 days — monthly pace of about $9. Daily revenue swings 3x between the highest and lowest day. It will take 2–3 months of data to establish a stable baseline.
88.7% of views come from non-followers
The algorithm keeps delivering the content to fresh non-follower audiences. A single viewing rarely converts to a follow — building trust across multiple exposures matters. Adding a "please follow" CTA inside the video is a possible tactic.
