← LeaderboardsHow the leaderboards work
The leaderboards rank articles by how many readers opened them, and news sources by how much they publish and how highly their articles score. Every number comes from StreamingMeme's own data and updates automatically.
Most Clicked Articles
- A click is a reader opening the article's page on StreamingMeme. Each reader counts once per article per day, and automated traffic such as search crawlers is left out.
- Readers who arrive from the daily newsletter land on the article page, so they are already counted there. For days before 10 September 2026, when on-site counting began, the newsletter's own unique-click count is used instead and shown in its own column.
- The board shows the top 20 for a calendar month, or for all time. It opens on the current month. When two articles tie, the more recently published one ranks first.
- It includes every article readers can see on the site, and updates once a day, automatically.
The AI quality score
- Every article is scored from 0 to 100 when it is analyzed. An AI model rates how relevant the story is to streaming technology and how much impact it has on the industry. Impact counts for 60% of the score and relevance for 40%.
- The result is then adjusted for the source's tier (StreamingMeme rates each source tier 1, 2 or 3) and capped at 100.
- An article stopped before scoring, such as a sponsored advertorial or a vendor announcement, is recorded as 0. Articles that were never analyzed have no score and are left out of every average.
Source rankings
- Top Sources by Volume (Last 30 Days): the 20 sources with the most published articles dated in the last 30 days. Avg Score is the average quality score of those articles.
- Top Sources by AI Quality Score: the 20 sources with the highest average quality score across all their published articles, rounded to a whole number. A source needs at least 5 published articles to be ranked.
- Top Sources by Category: the 5 sources with the most published articles in each news category, across all time.
- These boards count only articles that passed editorial review and were published, and refresh about once an hour.
What counts as a source
Articles are grouped by the website address they were published on, ignoring "www". Posts shared on platforms such as LinkedIn, YouTube or X are grouped by the publisher's name instead of the platform.
Questions or corrections
If a number looks wrong or your publication is grouped incorrectly, contact the editors.
