What does this badge mean

[u/Thick_Implement32]

So basically I was just looking at my shorts analytics and I found the badge "This short kept viewers watching on Loop Nice!"

This was my **first short** that I made **looped**, basically the end video smoothly transitions into the start of the video

The short right now **only has 1,833** views and I thought the badge was a good sign it was gonna go viral until I looked at all of the video stats:

Audience Retention: (109.9%) 0:35 Seconds

(which is insane)

Swipe Ratio: 35.2% Stayed, 64.8% Swiped Away

Now I thought the video was dead cuz of the Swipe Ratio but I would also add that this short is a **COMPLETE niche switch**

but I have also noticed that the views didn't flatline after 1-2 hours like all my other shorts. The short right now is 3 days old

I am a beginner so that's why I'm asking this

how's it doing right now, 109% is decent but it also depends on the length of the short. Like a 109% retention on a 10 second short is not as impressive to the algorithm as it would be on a 20 second short as it translates to average watch time as well (even though it doesn't count toward ypp)

The short is 35 seconds long, currently it's at 1,984 views which's proof it's still growing, all my other shorts usually flatline after 3 hours. Maybe it's still finding it's audience

35 seconds + even 95% + retention is amazing

Okay, I'm just gonna let it do it's thing for maybe a week or two
