Viewing duration and audience engagement are crucial for the algorithm, and I see that too. I always focus on the first 15 seconds: a compelling hook and a clear question or promise to keep viewers hooked from the start.
Thumbnail strategy is also key, but not just for clicks. The visual and title should work together to sustain the viewer’s interest. I usually go for sharp, focused images with simple but powerful text. Content structure consistency matters too—the algorithm favors videos that smartly guide viewers from one video to the next, reducing the drop-off rate.
