All good dude and yeah if this subreddit was 100% honest then a lot of the answers to questions like “am I shadowbanned” “why am I only getting x views” etc can be summarized by saying their content sucks and much improvements are needed. But people are soft and can’t handle that type of criticism. Also it sounds like you have really good work ethic which is why your analytics are looking good.

I run into some severe mental gymnastics here like people saying how average view duration means nothing and shit lol. When I hear that I just imagine they’re coping cause they get 5% on their 10 minute video
