🚨 I think almost every creator has done this...
You upload a video...
Then immediately become its biggest fan.
You watch it on your phone.
Then on your laptop.
Then "just one more time" from another account to make sure everything looks okay.
Maybe you even convince yourself those extra 3 views are helping. 😅
Here's the weird part:
They usually aren't.
If you're clicking your own video over and over, then leaving after a few seconds to check comments, analytics, or refresh the page, you're feeding YouTube some pretty messy signals.
YouTube eventually filters repetitive views anyway, so the little "boost" often disappears later.
And if most of the earliest activity on a brand-new upload is... you, the system isn't exactly learning who your ideal viewers are.
At some point, you have to trust the export.
Hit publish.
Close the app.
Let the video find its people.
I used to do this all the time, and I know I'm probably not the only one. 😂

YOUTUBE ALGORITHM FUN FACTS
"Retention over Views"
Did you know? YouTube doesn't actually care about your View Count as much as it cares about Total Session Time.
If your video convinced a viewer to stay on YouTube—even if they clicked on someone else’s video right after yours—the algorithm considers your video a "success" and is more likely to push it to more people. You aren't just competing for views; you’re competing for time!
