| How are these counted? | Each creator or show counts once per item, using its current setup and confirmed sources only: a first-party video, an on-camera appearance or a dated article. Gear marked “previously used” is left out, and items marked reported (named by press or audience, not yet confirmed) are listed but never counted. Podcasts are shown in the table but counted on the podcast mic page, not here. |
