Just yesterday I discovered a channel that asks for people who watched all the way to the end to replay the video at 0.25x speed to support the channel. I have zero clue if that would work and I’m not going to do that, but he makes good videos so I mean, if others want to do, it’s whatever I guess. I no longer care about crap like that, YouTube is essentially its own medium at this point.
- rcxdude 2y agoYoutube definitely switched at some point from rewarding number of views (which incentivized short content: 10 minutes was a bit of a meme for a bit because that was the minimum for monetizing) to rewarding watch time (which incentivizes longer content: suddenly people noticed VODs of 6 hour livestreams doing numbers), as far as their recommendations and ad rewards worked. I wouldn't be surprised if they take the video speed adjustment into consideration such that the suggested action would contribute.
