But why I got 3/10 ranking but it’s says a lot of people swiped away

[TheOneTheOny]

Whoever is reading DONT give up on your channel. Think about all the hard work that you have already put in. Every youtuber was once in your spot they just kept going. Stay consistent and you will reach your goals. consistent uploads and improvement and some determination is all you need! I am going for 625 subs by the end of March!

Exactly, I think this metric is largely influenced by the first 3s of your short as well as your title.

And if your viewed vs swiped away ratio is over 60-40, that usually translates to your short getting picked up by the shorts feed and easily gaining over 1500 views

GUYS I HAVE TESTED AND CONFIRMED THAT VIDEOS WITH 70-80% GO VIRAL 60% AND BELOW FLATLINE AT 0-50K AND 60-69% WILL GET ARIUND 20K VIEWS AND STOP

[GabrielleZ]

I don't think this metric is important... because there's no way the algorithm can read someone's mind and compute it as a number.

[abdullahplayzontop]

for some reason, i have been getting 30/70 stayed vs swiped, so now my shorts are getting less than 500 views, its painful to see because i used to average 10k, kinda sucks

[BobbyMasteria]

I thought this was like a CTR, did youtube confirm that it's measuring the time people spend before swiping ?

[AstariaSage]

Where is the reach section? I can't find it

[One-Two-T]

How long do they have to stay for it to count as them viewing it?

[cloudy_afternoon_vibes]

But what does that diagram with the blue line mean?

[GigglifySub]

I HAVE THIS CANNEL AND POSTED A VIDEO ... AND EACH VIDEO IS LIKE 7 SEC ABOUT BUT THE MONITIZATION IS NOT COUNTING I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO .... ITS TWO DAYS WILL IT UPDATE OR DO I NEED TO MAKE A LONG VIDEOS

[Synvex]

But I have 81℅ stayed but it didn't even get 100 views it also has 150℅ APV

[OnepiecefactsYT]

Audience retention tho
I had a 80% viewed with but only 56% audience retention and it is currently at 6.3k but tbh u need both

[PattiVeroni]

I wonder what’s going on: some of my best Swipe Rate videos are getting fewer views than the ones under 35% 🤔🤔🤔

[Dipperdog_RPGirl]

What percentage is acceptable besides 100% viewed.

[JSKLawnCare]

But what ratio stops your video from dying? I'm 50/50 and they still die. 60/40?
