maybe this is me being too romantic about my goofy job but I feel like there's something to be said for just having your own vision for a video rather than trying to endlessly optimize everything
VIDEO A/B TESTING IS COMING TO YOUTUBE
You can upload 3 versions of the SAME video
Different hooks, different pacing, whatever you wanna test
and YouTube tells you which one kept people hooked the longest so you can make it the main one
For Shorts and Long Form!
