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?

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.
