Run this reallocation audit:
— Sort your library by views. Note the top 5.
— Now sort by average view duration. Different list? That gap is your real problem.
— Make your next 3 videos copies of the watch-time winners, not the view winners.
Views are a one-time transaction. Watch time is what the algorithm actually pays out on. You've been optimizing the vanity column.
Sort by duration. Agree or fight me?

Chasing views over watch time is how you build a dead channel with big numbers.
