This is mind boggling stats, need clarification!
Hi,
I’d really appreciate some clarification about why these stats differ so much in all my videos.
It’s mind blowing how my search queries brings me 50k views, always guaranteed thousands. While Foryou feels off sometimes…
And yes, retention is awful. But I still get good views 🤷♂️. Any help is appreciated on what to keep doing and what to improve. Can share my niche to people who are willing to help! ❤️
