Watch time and CTR are definitely core metrics. But don't forget about audience retention, likes/dislikes ratio, comments, and shares - those show how engaging your content really is to viewers. Crafting compelling titles, thumbnails, and content that keeps people watching is key.

I think it is viewing depth and CTR. Agree?
I totally agree! Viewing depth shows how hooked people are, and CTR is like YouTube’s version of first impressions—if they don’t click, they don’t stick! It’s like a date: if you don’t look good in the thumbnail and keep them interested, the relationship’s over before it even starts!
Definitely agree that CTR is key! I find watch time and viewer retention to be the most important for growing a channel. If you can hook viewers in the first 30 seconds and get them to watch most of the video, the YouTube algorithm will reward you. Also keeping a close eye on click through rate from impressions to see how enticing your thumbnails and titles are. Focusing on those core metrics has really helped my channel take off.
