Its really obnoxious that Google doesn't provide any units at all for the vertical axis

I think someone said they used to

They provide one on the left (0, 25, 50, 75, 100)

What those units mean I have no clue, but I'm guessing 100 means 100% and is the highest amount of views, which they then base the rest on (5% of the highest recorded views, etc)
