title Factor

Short and Punchy Title

Whether the title is very short — under six words. Short titles create impact through brevity and often work as bold declarations or provocative statements that stop the scroll.

Short titles are fully visible on every device and screen size — nothing gets cut off. They also feel confident and impactful, like a headline that doesn't need to explain itself. But they risk being too vague to communicate what the viewer will actually get from watching.

Average Video is the effect on a typical video. Top 10% Video is the effect on the videos that broke out (top decile of views) — so you can see whether a factor helps most videos a little, or pushes the top performers much higher.
