By the time watch time tells you a format died, you've shipped six more in the same mold. The signal that actually predicts decline is <i>comment velocity in hour one</i> — engagement leads retention by days. Watch time confirms what comments already warned you about.
You're diagnosing yesterday's video to fix tomorrow's. The leading indicators are right there, ignored.
