(So, I’m actually taking the YouTube (YT) shorts seriously, I’ll log some data here. My primary objective would be get not only what type of short do the best, but also dissect the CAUSE of the YT-shorts becoming successful and what would be dragging it down from getting more views.)

YT Experimentation notes

•Ground rules
-15 (Fifthteen) day interval per short
-Test different genres/types of animated short

Short #1 (Community based animation) (The White Community)

-Got 1k views within around two days, YouTube algorithm has slowed down the short ever since day 5. 1.4k views after 15 day period.

-Reason (assumptions) for success: Emediate stimulation (viewers don’t swipe off as much), Community’s content hungry state in the subject leads to people searching for more content related animation (possibly boosting views), similarity to other familiar trends.

-Reason (assumptions) for drawbacks:
Due to being my first attempt at a YT-short animation, quality is VERY low.(Possible solutions would most likely be more practice.)

Short #2 (Edit style animation)
I’ll wait until it’s 15 days since uploaded to conclude the numbers.
