No branding, no "hey guys welcome back," no logo sting. Just hard-cut into the payoff.
Average view duration went from 38% to 52% across the batch. The intro wasn't building trust — it was a tax viewers paid before they decided to stay. We stopped charging it.
If your intro can be deleted without losing meaning, it was never content. Agree or fight me?
