@wono_strategy Good retention will ramp up impressions, so it does have a direct impact on views - and it seems you aren't acknowledging this. Your point stands, but in the inverse too. If you have a hugely clickable idea but can't retain viewers, impressions will flatline

There are some fundamental principles that many people don't understand (especially supply/demand & emergence) and not being extremely precise with the wording is what leads so many creators to be confused. What makes people click is what sparks their attention not retention, retention is not something you can see in the thumbnail or title. Creators are confused because most YouTube gurus don't understand these fundamentals, they mix correlation & causation. "retention doesn't matter" is different from "retention is not a root cause". "More retention = more views" is as true as "more umbrellas = more rain." What causes the rain is not the increasing number of umbrellas, even though there's a correlation between more umbrellas and more rain falling, it's only a consequence. Just like there is a correlation between high retention and a good video, it's only a consequence. But it's NOT the root cause, plain & simple. You can increase the number of umbrellas in a desert as much as you want, good luck making it rain. Just like you can increase the retention of any video with an idea/concept the market isn't interested in, good luck getting views. My point is not "retention is useless", just like saying "umbrellas are useless" would be stupid. What I'm saying is crystal clear: retention is NOT the root cause of getting more views, it's an attribute. On the other hand, remarkability/attention-catching/uniqueness/resonance with the current market (or whatever you want to call it), IS the root cause of more views. And my tweet about Dodford illustrates that perfectly.

@dannymcmahon cos it's flamin' good mate that's why!

1.2M in 3 days. Maybe it’s worth being transparent here… I don’t know why! But thank you 💛

@LilAggyTV in other words each of those midroll placements represents a possible ad, not guaranteed - and it differs viewer to viewer

@LilAggyTV YouTube tailors the experience based on viewer behaviour. i.e. youtube knows how many ads each user will tolerate whack ads in willy nilly, your rpm will go up (deservedly) and no one will be bothered

ok so i accidentally forgot to fix the automatic midroll ad placement on the new vid, but i'm kinda curious because i've seen zero complaints about it - did anyone actually notice more ads on the last vid? 19 possible ad breaks on a 1 hour video lmao

@jenntidy that's glorious thank you so much for watching friends!
