SHOULD I QUIT YouTube?

Published 2024-04-23
My channel is attacked. Someone has purposefully targeted my videos to lower the retention of my videos and YouTube won't recommend my videos anymore like it used to. These views show up from external sources and they only watch few seconds of my video before closing the video which lowers the retention of my video from 70% to 20%. YouTube won't do anything about this issue. So the question is, should I just quit YouTube?

    Whaaaat! 😱 I have been wondering why your videos have not been popping up right at the height of the Spring prep season. 😮 No Jag, Please do not quit.

    Hey Jag, definitely don't quit your channel. The External traffic source is often Google Discover, Google News, or automatic indexing in Google Search in the 'videos' section. This happens to us a lot, especially for videos with heavy "search" focus on the titling. Every video you used as an example is a search focused title. Google owns YouTube, so they have full clarity on sources of Google -> YouTube traffic. It's really frustrating, (this happens to us too), but while I wouldn't rule OUT an "attack", it's more likely that it's just folks clicking through, and ditching your video due to time/interest/etc. mismatch. It's annoying because you can't control if you get indexed in search quickly or included in Google Discover. - Kevin
  • So sorry to hear the channel is being attacked. I started watching a little over a year ago and because of you , I overcame my fear of I'm growing vegetables. I successfully harvested cantaloupe and squash last fall. Don't quit.
  • I don't usually respond to videos. Please don't quit. Your videos are very helpful. Been watching for over a year. I'm 81 and use to garden a lot, now my health is declining so I do containers. Thank you for being there for us. Have a blessed day.
  • @Honey-_bee
    This is so frustrating!! You tube needs to check into the complaints or what ever is done. I’m sorry this has happened. I’ll be here watching!
  • @rrobertson4191
    Noooooo!!!! Please don't quit! You are so helpful and concise. I don’t have to watch a 45 minute video to get the help I need. You're really a blessing to so many.
  • OMG...so happy to hear you are not quitting. I am a later in life gardener, and I consult you for everything. I don't understand your algorithm from YouTube, but I do know that what you teach me works well. I am sorry you have to go through this with youtube. I hope that your fans purchase from your store, as I did...maybe that will help. You make gardening fun, and help make gardeners successful. Thank you so much! Good Luck, and please keep letting us know what we can do to help you. Your desire to help shines through.

    A friend shared this video and I came to watch it and ended up subscribing. Gardening is important to me. I have been doing organic gardening 25 years now going on 26. I still learn new things all the time.
