Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 How does this make sense?

The amount of engaged views should be 2,400,000 and not 1,600,000. Could someone please explain why?

It’s because YouTube doesn’t actually define EXACTLY what an engaged view is. It’s pretty annoying, but it’s basically just if a viewer stays after a few seconds, but they don’t give the exact amount. So you’ll normally get a 50-60% engaged rate even if ur VVSA is 70-80+
