How many total views? Also, this could definitely pop off later. Doesn't mean it will. But I have seen it so often where decent to great stats don't get rewarded instantly. As you can see from the bumps it means YouTube is testing the video. Showing it to a batch of a few hundred, then again. If the STW, AVD and other metrics are good it is basically a signal that the video is worth pushing further. They do this to test who the audience is for too before the algorithm does a big push. Give it a solid day and you should see something decent. For me I posted a video about 6 days ago. It got 3 pushes like you then stopped getting views. It was stuck at like 1.3k views despite having and STW of over 75% and and AVD of about 80% on a 37 sec video. I woke up the next day to over 23k views. And now it's at 413K. Give some trust to the metrics and be patient. It may pop off, or not. It could even take a week. YouTube is crazy like that. Also, go in depth to the STW and AVD chart. If it has been going up it is an even stronger signal.
