YT Prem. Testing Results

Day 1 was straight forward. No huge surprises.

We had two main goals:

To answer, “Does a Premium account prevent loss of views?” and

To identify simple steps we can take to SUPPORT our streaming guides and efforts.

Remember, full data will be available on a testing results Carrd on Friday.

We want full transparency so that you can see the actual testing numbers from each day.

General testing is our common streaming method of watching 2 to 3 videos between the promo video.

Playlisting is watching a playlist with the video included multiple times.

Looping is watching the video back to back.

This suggestion is very familiar to us.

Views froze OR were delayed for hours due to lack of user engagement.

However, It’s not good enough to say, WE as a fandom has liked this MV 2M times.

We have to ask ourselves have I PERSONALLY engaged with this video in the last hour?
