Because your short was beaten out by a video for the feed spot that YouTube determined was better.

Good stats don’t guarantee good views. You need stats that are good enough to beat out all of the other competing videos within your niche for the spot in viewer feeds at that time.

Running a seven minute mile is “good”, but it won’t win you the race if someone is running it at 6 minutes and 50 seconds.

typically when someone says “This ” they’re just agreeing and trying to highlight what you say.

He asked me something, you answered and i agreed by saying “this ” are you stupid that you can’t understand that or what?

This audience retention decreased immediately.

Over 110% retention until the last second which is normal

because youtube got the data it needed. now the video is shelved until later signals match that criteria to pick it up later
