Daily return viewers is one of the new ways YouTube rewards channels and is just as if not more valuable than interactions such as likes subs and comments.
With all due respect, your idea of leaving it a few days, posting a vid.. is just based on a whim and anomaly in some of your latest insights.
Are you talking about the game theorists video? I watched that and it had a lot of good information.
I'm not the kind of guy to just decide to do something for no reason and go with it. I am going to do some split testing on different posting schedules. But if you look at the result on the channel, over the couple weeks of less consistent posting, videos got much more love in the algorithim.
The problem with posting daily, is to some extent you compete with your own videos. If a video goes up on Monday and Tuesday, you in a way compete with yourself for someones view if they decide to only watch a single video. I think this plays a role in which videos youtube decides to boost.
With daily content, I tended to average around 65k views/vid
With a post every 2-3 days, it tended to be more around 100k views/vid
Both have merit, and I will continue to test things out. But if it makes sense to only post 2-4 times a week because it gets the best results, that is what I will go with.
