Audience retention

A lot of viewers left within the first minute.

A lot of viewers left within the first minute.
open the workings

About 41% of viewers were still watching one minute in; about 11% were still there at the end. Across its length, YouTube rates this as holding viewers better than about 4 in 10 of its videos of similar length. Measured across 236 views.

The shape is how many of this video’s viewers were still watching across its runtime — full on the left where everyone starts, tapering as people leave. A stretch that rises back up is one people replayed. It’s YouTube’s own audience-retention measure, not an estimate.
