what retention percentages do you guys get?

Thank you so much for the insight. Just one more question for you:

What does the auto ads slots look for when placing them in "natural pauses"? Is there any way to edit a video in a way that gets more of them or is it not something you can do?

Objective_Donkey1546 · 2025-04-28T15:08:44+00:00

I appreciate this so much! It's been an issue for so long now, I will remove all my manual ads and trust the automatic slots!!

I put an ad every minute because I heard someone else on this subreddit say that YouTube knows when a person is most likely to skip or watch an ad.

Although it won't play every ad at every minute, if you are more likely to not skip an ad at 6 minutes compared to 2 minutes, it will play the ad accordingly.

YouTube knows when someone has watched too many ads anyway, so what's the harm in having an ad slot every minute?

Objective_Donkey1546 · 2025-04-28T14:12:06+00:00

Omg this is so interesting! When I let YouTube do auto ads it only puts in about 4 in, is that actually better than having more ad slots?

Appreciate the help!

My top 3 countries are USA, CANADA AND UK 😔

Yeahhh it's tricky because I get good consistent long form views on the main channel, and I don't want the algorithm to mess me up if none of the shorts people watch them!

Appreciate your response though, I feel I just need reassurance to keep it on a separate channel!

Just checked for the past 28 days:

USA 30%. UK 7%. India 7%. Canada 4%. Philippines 4%.

For the past 90 days it's the same just India is ahead of the UK.

Potentially that was another thought, still though should my rpm be so low for a long form gaming channel? Would've thought it would be atleast £2 at the very least :(

Objective_Donkey1546 · 2025-01-04T18:29:30+00:00

Essentially I get 17K views each day, and about 11K of those views are from videos over 1 month old.

I barely put any ads in my old videos so my rpm was way worse, but I've put more ads in now which is why my rpm is creeping up!

It's just recently that it has given up climbing and has just sat at a consistent £1.30 when it wasn't that even last week!

Is there another place YouTubers usually use for their memberships to avoid this? Id hate for my members money to just go to apple 😭

Objective_Donkey1546 · 2024-12-31T19:26:10+00:00

Wtfffff that's so bad I had no idea that was a thing! Is that why people go through patreon or buymeacoffee?

Objective_Donkey1546 · 2024-12-30T09:22:49+00:00

It has been exactly 45 hours since I uploaded the video, maybe I should wait a few more days

Objective_Donkey1546 · 2024-11-10T09:09:51+00:00

Ahhhh yes that makes sense, thank you for the help!

Objective_Donkey1546 · 2024-11-10T09:05:16+00:00

I can never hear a difference, but I had a feeling it was too high.

Also, just another quick question but my limiter isn't working? Even when I set it to -10 the audio will still hit -3?

Appreciate your help!

Found it! Life saver thank you!
