Quick idea; I think you might actually be able to increase your average watch-time (and thus get recommended by YouTube more often) by slightly decreasing the length of your videos. On Shorts, videos loop automatically, so having a short video that people will want to watch twice isn't a bad thing

I feel like towards the end of your videos, I'd just skip away. If it looped a bit sooner and let me see the SMASH again, I might stick for a second watch-through.

Anyway, just something to experiment with. Hope you win!

That's a great idea. Though I think the looping only happens on mobile...
No looping on PC, at least for me...

Ah, you're right. It only happens on mobile, it seems. But that's probably where most YouTube Shorts views come from anyway
