As I, and more recently buddy have pointed out, posting videos on social media is somewhat random and counter intuitive. I'm great at spotting patterns normally, but this pattern is too stupid for me to read. Here's a video where a guy flew to the congo and filmed a new species of animal that lives inside active volcanoes. 4 views. Here's an animated explanation of the formula for cold fusion that took 10 people a year to make. 7 views. Here's a guy who found a cardboard box in his yard while he was drunk, labeled the video "BOXXXX in YARD WTF" 41,643,211 views. It's a 7 second video, and the guy barely knows how to hold his phone. Drunken box finder guy now has 3 million dollars in revenue, 16,000 fans, 761 monthly patreon subscribers.
In example, SP has 0 patreon supporters, and the other day, I saw a video where a guy cut a 10 second clip out of a Frasier episode, no edits, no commentary, just recorded a clip off of cable. He had 98 monthly supporters.
Ranting aside, you might try priming the pump a bit, via paid advertising, just to escape the crushing vicious cycle at the bottom of social media views. No one is watching because no one is watching because no one is watching - infinity. Get on the other side of the divide, and suddenly it's all downhill.
I've spent a long time trying to figure out this madness, and I think a lot of it boils down to a local social network. Kids in a metro school system have a built in network of 5000 people that all know each other and talk every day. One publishes a video, and the whole high school hears about it. 5k views the first day, and you're off to the races. An adult person with 10 friends, who are all dealing with jobs and kids, maybe they get around to your video on day 4 or 5. The program sees 3 views from you, and one a day from your friends for 5 days, and it labels you unpopular and insignificant.
I'm sure tiktok has differences, but from what I understand, on youtube, if you don't get 4,000 views on day one, you can forget it, they just stop showing it to new people. That's a real number apparently, 4k views from your local friends, or no one else ever sees it. I've seen a teenager post a 10 second video of unreal engine, and it's got 4 milllion hits, if I posted a 2 hour movie, equivalent or better in every way, 31 hits.
Also, IT is right, you are sweating a one minute video way too hard. Regardless of quality, social media is a volume and consistency based format I think. 300 bad videos a year > 4 excellent ones.
