Vamos scans them straight away. The first batch of posts lands within seconds, and the page says it is working while the rest comes in. Give it a minute or two for a creator with a long back catalogue.

​

After that their recent videos, views, engagement and outlier scores are on the Watchlist.

​

​

New posts are added almost immediately. Once a creator is set up, a video they publish appears on your Watchlist and in the Following tab of Discover without you doing anything.

​

The numbers on recent posts refresh roughly every one to four days, depending on how often that account posts. A busy account is re-read more often than a quiet one.

​

So a view count is what Vamos last read rather than a live figure. On a video that is climbing, the number you see may already be behind, which is the nature of reading public data rather than having an API into someone else's analytics.

​

Two things the refresh does not do. It does not re-read comment text, only comment counts. And it does not keep updating every historical post, only recent ones.

​

​

The last seven days. A finding has to be inside that window to appear.

​

For an outlier, a post also has to be at least twice its channel's median and have at least 5,000 views. The brief takes at most five posts from any one creator, so a prolific account cannot fill it.

​

​

The last three days. A post older than that is news rather than an event, so it will not trigger an email.

​

The check runs once a day. See Why you got a takeoff email, and why you didn't.

​

​

Open the creator. Posts cached tells you how much Vamos has read. A low number on a recent addition means the scan is still working through their catalogue.

​

If it is genuinely not updating, retry the fetch on the creator page.

​

​

A private account will never produce anything.

​

A dormant account has nothing to read. The page says they have not posted recently rather than pretending to load.
