How to rescue good content trapped behind a bad cover

How to rescue good content trapped behind a bad cover

"Good videos find their audience." Not when the first frame is a mid-blink frame. The algorithm tests your video on a small pool; a weak open kills the test before content matters. Triage:

— Filter your back catalog for posts with strong full-watch % but low total views.
— Those got little distribution despite good retention — a first-frame problem.
— Re-shoot only the opening 2 seconds with text-on-screen stating the payoff.
— Repost as new; the algo re-tests from scratch.

You don't have a content problem, you have an entry problem. The best video no one opens scores identically to a bad one.
