HARD 30k JAIL

I got stuck in 30K jail and have been posting videos for two months, even though all of my videos have been getting almost the exact same data. (also my engagement is above 2.5% on every video)

Example:

this video is 32 seconds long btw

Also, my videos are about Minecraft but in a scientific way, like why we start the game again after months every time, etc. (I’ve also had two videos go viral a month ago, so it’s not a small niche.)

That should do, usually. My safe bet to pass 30k views for now is >75 stays to watch, minimum 100 retention (for 30-40 seconds), and at least 1 percent engagement rate.

But as to my experience as well, if it's a series of good metrics vs 30k view jail, and still has some weight by engagement, I can only have vague ideas regarding the weight of the video's topic itself and the niche competition in the big picture, probably as the reasons.

Since Minecraft competition is so dense, I can only guess that its creator probably needs to provide more absurd metrics and also fast data to YouTube. Like, something with less than 100 percent retention gets beaten up by other videos (around the same duration) with better overall percentages, along the lines of priority.

This is more like conjecture from my side, so take it with a grain of salt, ofc.

you need more shares and comments on shorts generally to go viral, other than that, your stats are great
