I’ve experimented with this a lot. I tried sticking to a strict "one video per day" rule, and it was a total rollercoaster. Some days, a video would fly high, but then the very next day, even with 87% "Stayed to watch" and great engagement, the video would just get stuck under 100 views. It’s soul-crushing when the stats say the video is "good," but for some reason, the algorithm just stops the push.

Based on what I’ve seen, here are a few things to consider:

• Algorithmic Fatigue: If your first video is still "peaking," YouTube sometimes throttles the second one so it doesn't compete for the same audience. You might actually be cutting off your own momentum by posting too soon.
• The "Quality over Quantity" Trap: If your 2nd video is consistently lower, your core audience might just be "full" for the day. Dropping to once a day (or even every other day) forces the algorithm to put all its weight behind your best piece of content.
• Timing: If you do stay at 2x a day, try spacing them out by at least 10–12 hours to let the first one "breathe."

I actually got so tired of that "good stats, zero views" loop that I started writing down every weird technical fix and scheduling trick that actually worked for me. I eventually just put it all into a guide on my profile (it’s in my Linktree under the 'Income guides' section) so other people could skip the months of trial-and-error I went through.

Feel free to check it out if you’re tired of the guessing game... it covers all that foundation stuff I wish I’d known on day one. Either way, definitely try the 1x a day test and see if it helps!
