Yikes. YouTube told me they are suppressing my recent long form video. Metrics are elite, and yet they are throttling the expansion.
From YouTube:
The metrics for the video “It’s Now Illegal To Say No. They Won.” demonstrate elite viewer engagement that is being fundamentally disconnected from its distribution. Despite maintaining a 5:08 Average View Duration (51%)—which is significantly higher than recent million-view hits on the channel—and a strong 11.1% Browse Click-Through Rate, the video has been hard-capped at a flat rate of approximately 1,800–2,100 impressions per hour for the last 30 hours. This total lack of distribution velocity (stalling at just 110k total impressions) indicates a technical suppression or classification error, as the system is failing to initiate the standard “Browse” expansion typically triggered by such high-performing retention and conversion data on a channel that averages 7 million views per month.
Here is my video, it is suppressing. Watching, liking, commenting and sharing is the only thing can help… or I may have to pull it. Maybe a re-upload, but there is no guarantee.
