How to plant a rewatch:
— Put one fast, info-dense visual on screen for exactly the time it can't be read.
— Reference it casually 20 seconds later so people scrub back.
— Hide a tiny payoff in a frame people will pause on.
Rewatch loops inflate watch time above 100% on a segment. Most creators only fight to keep people moving forward and ignore the backward replay entirely.
Engineer one. Agree or fight me?

Rewatched seconds count double for the algorithm and you're not engineering a single one.
