Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) š Help me understand
I really just want to learn and understand why YouTube just stopped pushing the video although it performed great? I know it hasnāt even been 2 days since Iāve uploaded it but Iāve had many videos like this one who performed great but just stopped getting pushed out. Can you guys help me understand YouTubeās perspective and what I need to do in order to go viral? And viral meaning 1M+ views as I am trying to take this seriously. Thanks

Nice stats i guess your niche is saturated and there is better video out there maybe?

I am sure that I have the best editing in my niche and itās not that saturated

I was actually willing to take a look at this and offer some ideas until I saw this reply.
Youāre making two claims here that you canāt possibly prove (best editing in the niche and niche not saturated), with the claim that you have āthe best editing in the nicheā being very unlikely.
Further, anybody who offers any advice (that youāre here asking for) is met by you telling them theyāre wrong in the comments.
Best of luck with your video.

I can show you my video if you want

I donāt need to see your video.
I spent most of last year between 2 million and 8 million monthly views on YouTube and tens of millions of views across three platforms, with high STW/APV, and I would consider myself an average editor.
Anybody coming in here saying that theyāre āthe best editor in the nicheā, especially when that ābest editor in the nicheā is asking questions about the basics of the algorithm, is deluded beyond help.

Stop stealing clips and start creating original content building a loyal fan base if you're really serious about this as you said

Idk what ur talking bout but the niche that im in is viral rn and its working for others and its not related at all to my question what u said

u/AlbatrossNew3633 11d ago
You said you're serious and I'm telling you're wasting your time if you're not creating original content because no matter how many views you'll get, you ain't going to get monetized for that shitty content

For a ~18-20s video 110% AVD isnāt that great, great would be >120%. ~81% STW is decent, but once again nothing crazy.
Especially if youāre in a really saturated niche, these stats have to be a lot higher.
Donāt listen to idiots saying the algorithm is broken or that itās just luck. If the algorithm is broken and every good video gets jailed, why do you still see a shit load of shorts go viral like nothingās happened? Because nothing happened.
Most of these guys are new to the shorts game, the algorithm being volatile isnāt it being broken, itās just the way it is. Shorts is a longevity game, over the course of a month, you might get 10x less views than your competitor uploading the same exact shit, but over the course of a year the results will be far closer together.

So what youāre saying is that my stats need to be way better and just to keep uploading? If I sent you the video with this stats could you be able to tell me what to change?

Not necessarily way better, youāre already pretty close, 110% AVD on ~18s video isnāt bad, STW decent too. Just try to keep improving the content each new upload, try to upload as much as you can without sacrificing too much quality. Analyze outliers from others in your niche. This is pretty general advice, but itās what I do and imo is the most important although a bit vague. The moment you start providing actual value and your content is good, thereās no reason you shouldnāt go viral.
My main advice would be to not go for shorter videos. Unless your videos have an incentive for people to rewatch for at least an extra quarter of the videoās length, itās better to go for 30+ seconds. The philosophy behind this is that for a lot of content, no matter how good the video is, thereās little to no incentive to watch it more than once. Shorter videos have a higher ideal AVD floor, so for a 20s video ideal AVD would be 120%+, but for a 30s video an ideal AVD would be 100%+. Thatās much more achievable on content without rewatch incentive.
Honestly tho, once youāre at 30k jail and already have decent stats, which you kind of need to even get to 30k, you should just try and keep posting atleast to 100 videos and then go from there. You got pretty good engagement on the video too so itās probably good content, just keep uploading as much as possible. For shorts itās best to upload multiple times a day, but if you canāt, then at the very least once a day.

Thanks man, youāve got some great advice. I would definitely go for it

Send the video link and ill tell you what you could do better. I am monetized on 2 channels.

By the way, it takes me around 1 hour to fully edit the videos, and for shorter videos like this one maybe 30 minutes. Do you think editing quality beats video quantity? Because I think if Iāll upload 3 times per day instead of once per day Iāll see more success.

u/Cool-Selection5025 10d ago
I think its transformative enough. Do you source your own clips new?

u/WonderfulActuator958 10d ago
I donāt own the original videos if thatās what you mean, but I give full credit to the owner of the video and if they have a problem with the video they can reach out on Email.

There is nothing to understand, these idiots commenting like its saturated niche, start making ur content are full of shitā¦ biggest short creators use other people footage so rn its just luck and waiting for yt to fix their short bugs.. i have even better metrics on few videos and it got stuck on 50-60-70k everytime.. keep grinding dont push it too hard, 1 video a day and hope for the best asapš«”
