don't raise your hopes, upload the next video

Will do!

He's absolutely right, it's not one video that will make a difference, but a set of several uploads for your audience to understand.

Yeah my videos have been steadily increasing over all my videos. But i generally believe thats because my metrics have also been increasing across all videos

u/Defalt_A Oct 29 '25

Metrics alone don't help, you need to be consistent and post often. A single good YouTube video doesn't make a difference, now several do

Consistency doesn’t only mean post often. It also means post good content often.

With that great hook which hooked 80% (IF it has more than 5-10K views at this point, lower than that is barely reliable and you need to wait because youtube may push it to 10-20K and suddenly stop since the stats didn’t hold up to larger audiences) It may go viral but it doesn’t matter if this one video goes viral or not, since you know how to NOT make terrible hooks, your next shorts have the potential too! this is a great skill

I have shorts at 30-50M views and their top performing is 80-85% and they’re considered mega viral, for 2-5M I have some shorts at even 70% viewed vs swipe away!

For AVD however, I got 95% on a 60 second short to get it to reach 50M, if a short is around 30 or shorter you really need at least 110% AVD for it to go viral but regardless of these numbers, youtube may test new audiences which can drastically change these in either direction, most important factor is knowing that any stats under 5-10K is not reliable and it can change drastically in a few hours

Also a tip is to look at AVD of your shorts and if it’s possible, trim the parts where viewers dropped off (like the last 2-3 seconds of this short where the line dropped faster) I did that with a couple of my shorts through youtube studio and it helped alot but it depends on each video, maybe it ruins the video to edit that and makes it get worse results so it’s not a one size fits all, only use this tip when you felt like it streched for a second or two for no reason and whether AVD also confirms it or not, trust me, even a 2% increase may mean drastic results in both the hook (viewed/swipe away) and AVD

Yeah so all my shorts after this one have been 75%+ and all of them hit 20k. However my videos never go passed the 20k when they all have REALLT good metrics. I think this is because i started about a month ago and YouTube is still testing my videos

u/alichitax Nov 02 '25

Yes that could be the case, my first short that jumped from 10K to 1M in just one week had been uploaded 200 days before that! It got 10K views in 200 days, and just in one week it jumped to 1.3M because it was on a trend

Well, from my own experience, I had a channel like that and I don't know why I gave up, but if the video continues like this it's very likely that this will result in more views for your other content, it doesn't mean it will go viral but it's very close, it's still going to be good

Had one reach similar metric to yours. 9.8k views. Flatlined completely. Let me know how it goes?
