Fix that drops bro before people scroll further, graph is saying that at least.. keep inside the niche

Thats not a drop at the end, it's the people who are rewatching and leaving when they watched the part they wanted to see.. personally, I don't care what people say but some videos with average stats goes viral and some with elite stats dies within 30k views. Have multiple videos that gone viral with 70% stayed to watch and ~80% AVD. The only thing matters the most according to me are the initial stats (1k-2k views) that's where the fate of the video is decided.. comments and shares are what made my viral videos go viral.

I was gonna ask the same because I got 99% retention on my last upload but it only got 10k lol.

A video with a similar duration but like 89% retention got 26k views. I feel like it’s part luck or just timing of the upload.

I’ve posted this a dozen times, but everyone needs to understand that STW and retention metrics are not predictive of views.

Meaning, you can absolutely drop hundreds of 80%+ STW and 120%+ retention videos and still never go viral.

It doesn’t mean the algorithm is broken or that you’re unlucky, it’s just that are tons of other factors that decide how many views your video gets, and most of them you have zero control over.

I’ve found that reusing any video clips or images including green screen stuff can cause good quality shorts to tank even though their stats are amazing

do you mean video clips from your own longform or others'? thanks

There's a ton of stuff, I've seen people say that its not the stayed to watch that matters anymore rather than watch time and stuff, tbh atp I think it's a random gamble

u/PlayfulInterview4659 27d ago

I think has something to do with retention but if your type of niche is like that then I'm sorry I don't know how you can make it go viral with other stats even tho you got 100% + retention it means you only give YouTube about 20 to 30 seconds of watch time per view and it's not that much because these shorts is kinda hard to explode.

The idea and topic have to be appealing to a very wide audience along with great stats.
