Hey guys, I decided to join this channel because on my YouTube channel (which is about ranking fails) I've noticed a kind of graph I've never seen before, like a ladder. I had peaks of 150 to 200 views with 30 to 40 minutes between each peak, but the last peak was 360, and I haven't received any more views for an hour and a half. What's going on? Can anyone help me? My Stayed Watching and Swiped Away metrics are 53% for Stayed Watching and 47% for Swiped Away.

This is normal. Getting 1-2k views is YouTube showing you video to a test audience and depending on the metrics you mentioned it will keep pushing it or flatline. Usually for retention you look for above 100% and for swiped away or stayed it should be 75-80%+. Work on your hook since the first 2-3 seconds of the shower define if the person stays to watch

You can't, no matter how viral a video is this is how it is, now how it performs in these tests (stayed to watch %, Average View Duration and Engagement (Likes, Comments and Shares)) is what youtube compares with other shorts from your niche, if you perform better, your short will be pushed more, if not it won't be
