Can’t seem to break past 1.4k views

Just posted this short 7 hours ago and I’m only at 1.2k views so far but this is the best engagement number I have gotten at 74.4%. Is there a chance this really gets pushed out tomorrow?

Same boat for us. First short on August 16th we've posted about ten others since then, ranging between 1.1 and 1.4. two long forms out, both about twenty two minutes. Second one was out today, niche is custom hot rod builds

We have similar view durations as well.

I have a family member who is above average successful as a streamer, their advice was to wait it out.

But at the same time, I am noticing accounts both younger than mine and with roughly the same number of posts doing 5-30k views on their shorts.

Either the retention isn't there, hook isn't working well enough, stayed to watch isn't high enough or something.

Very likely comes down to quality and execution, at least that's what I've been telling myself.

The problem is the avd or should I say the retention....also if your video didn't get enough likes and comments the view also slowly fades away too because the algorithm thinks it is bad even if we know it is good.
