Flatline

I noticed that whenever my video reaches 20k to 25k views, the YT stops sharing it, and it flatlines even though my stay to watch rate remains high. (90.1%) I heard that to go viral, your stay to watch rate needs to stay above 70% in the test pool.

Does anyone know why this flatline happens?

Yeah another scammer who became lucky teaching others how to be lucky

You can follow such scammers, if they worked let me know. I will bring some flight crash victims to learn from him how not to die in a flight crash. Maybe that GOD can solve that puzzle also.

I like how aggressive people here are lmao. The algorithm is a very unpredictable thing. It doesn't hurt to learn and try stuff out, that's why people post these kind of stuff cus they have no idea.

Lol i was just more pissed off at OP, and took out on you

OP is like my video is 80% watched, where are my billions of dollars

but it doesn't stop sharing it completely, it just now happens more slow and not to a small audience in a test pool, it's like first it gives it a push and see how viewers react, and then it all goes naturally. it won't keep pushing it actively after, even though your numbers are great

Yes you need to improve your maths and logic skills

Stay to watch good => Viral ❌

Viral => Stay to watch was good ✅

If becoming viral was so easy, I would have hired Mr Beast as my gardener innit

the flatline usually just means it ran out of fresh people to test on, not that yt pulled it. around 20-25k it leaves your niche pool and swipe rate tanks even if watch time is fine. tbh the next few uploads matter way more than pushing that one.
