Rewriting the Short's first frame for the loop

A source on a Shorts-first channel told me they obsessed over one metric, the loop. They re-shot the opening frame of 25 Shorts so the first visual directly answered 'why keep watching,' no buildup.

The numbers, average view percentage on Shorts went from 64% to 91%, and several crossed the threshold where the feed started pushing them hard. One went from 50K to 1.4M after the recut.

Word is the system feeds Shorts almost entirely on completion and re-watch rate, the first frame decides both.

For your channel, the Shorts first frame is the whole game. confidence: high.
