How this resolves

Closes: 23:59 SAST on 7 October 2026
Resolves: Monday 2 November, once October's last episodes are 24 hours old.
Source: YouTube, read hourly by Guessberry from each channel's public feed
Rules: Counts views on new episodes only, not a channel's lifetime views. An episode is any video on the channel that is not a Short, published from 00:00 on 1 October to 23:59 on 31 October 2026 (SAST). Each episode counts the views YouTube showed in the first reading Guessberry recorded 24 hours or more after it was published, so every episode is measured at the same age; if an episode left the channel's feed before it was 24 hours old, its last reading counts. Guessberry reads each channel's public YouTube feed every hour and keeps every reading. The channel with the most counted views wins; if two are exactly equal, the one with more episodes wins. The five channels were fixed when this market opened: the first five South African channels on YouTube's Popular podcasts page as shown in South Africa on 30 September 2026. They are MacG (Podcast and Chill Network, youtube.com/@podcastandchillnetwork), Open Chats Podcast (youtube.com/@OpenChatsPodcast), SMWX (youtube.com/@_SMWX), King David Studio (youtube.com/@kingdavidstudio1) and SOWETO PODCAST (youtube.com/@SOWETOPODCAST). No other channel can be added.
If the source is down: If Guessberry's recorder misses readings for an episode, the views shown on the episode's YouTube page when Guessberry checks it on 2 November are used, with a saved copy. Void if no comparison is possible by 15 November 2026.
If plans change: If a channel is deleted, made private or merged before 31 October, it cannot win and the rest are compared. If no channel publishes an episode in October, the market is void.
