Do I really need intros

[Tohamypro]

I am wondering if intros really help growth, Thanks!!

Makes it seem more professional and people like to come to things that seem like a show. It helped us.

Get to the point.
It's nice to have intros, but it's best to hook the attention of viewer ASAP. You only have 15 secs (if not less) to sustain their attention.

So, to answer your question, not really.
So, get to the point!

Yes. Always. Buy lots of them. All the time.

I am certainly not a fan of long intros O_O. So if you plan to do one, make it short and to the point! Make sure it shows who you are, but is interesting as well!

Not a huge fan.
I tend to keep them as short as I can - a quick summary of whats coming in the video - rather then the same intro to every single video.

I have a 4 sec intro just to show a video of my channel is playing. Never heard a complain about it.

Often times I think our intro is the best part of our videos.

It's definitely the most human...

It helps branding certainly. Maybe have a shortish intro and then cut it down in length when you get established? I think people feel comfortable hearing the same intro when their favourite YouTubers' videos start. I certainly do. But I might just be odd.
