As a hack, I wonder if tacking 10 minutes of ambient video onto the end (after a "And now, 10 minutes of ambient video" warning) would help.

- vouaobrasil 4y agoI am not so sure because YouTube keeps track of watch time. If no one watches past 2 minutes, then I think that would also be penalized, though I have no insight into the algorithm so I am not sure.
- specialist 4y agoDo you know if YouTube measures wall time or percent of video watched? If percent, then a hack might be slow-mo the content and encourage audience ti watch at 2x speed.
- vouaobrasil 4y agoI think it is percent of video watched, because if you check out the analytics in YouTube Studio, it says how many people are still watching by a certain point. So your hack makes sense, but I'm not sure it would work because it is VERY hard to keep anyone's attention on YouTube. The moment it's something even slightly less than interesting, the vast majority of people go onto the next video.
- specialist 4y agoNice. Worth trying. Or maybe just repeat the same content a few times.
