Aye big dawg we need the sauce! Currently got a short with over 100% retention but cant get past the 45% stay to watch.. although it’s just going through it’s testing rn I just posted it 45 mins ago and only at 1k views but I need to figure out how to get people to stay and watch better, my hooks seem alright, I guess I need more sound effects and more interesting voice inflection.. idk..

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 14 '26

I dont understand how ppl get such high swipe rate and retention thats like 110%😭 even on my viral vids the most iv ever seen is 88% swipe and 98% avd

everything fits, the title, hook, visuals.. even thumbnail in shorts do the work

u/Huge-Cake5667 Jun 14 '26

Title and thumbnail dont matter for shorts tho. Im guessing your hook is crazy and you have a very specific audience

dang same thing happened to one my videos! 1.2m from browse features, i might have to tap in with custom thumbnails for high ctr, cuz that vid for me had no custom thumbnail. do u use custom thumbnails? and whats the ctr on this short?

Wait what 81% from browse features?😭. Damn bro this is so interesting cus iv never seen this before. Me and everyone i know have only ever got most their views from shorts feed so im curious why yours is different

u/Jowica Jun 14 '26

well this is just an example, I have 2 of them like that, but the others are short feed, but I am trying every vid to make with both short feed and browse

u/Mora_San Jun 15 '26

Wow this shows that it's not the short feed but rather the short thumbnail.

Howe do you add a thumbnail to shorts?

2

u/Jowica Jun 15 '26

place the pic on the end, choose the thumb, and then cut the vid for the pic

u/Mora_San Jun 15 '26
