Subscriber Testing

My subscribers are almost eerily regular. With my hair videos, it's almost seconds after I've posted where they've shown up (around 20 views before I've finished watching my own video for quality). With my cooking videos, they usually take about a day (seem to watch during dinnertime, which is appropriate), and with the George videos, if I post them on Saturday, they'll watch Sunday afternoon, and if I post on Sunday, they'll watch through the week.

So normally I will immediately share my video places to get the views started up. My latest video I uploaded went public this morning and so far it has gotten 8 views lol. I think I'll wait until it's out for 24 hours to see what kind of activity it gets before sharing anywhere, I'm thinking this will be a good gauge to see how active my subscribers are. Anybody else do this? I'm sure some views will come from Suggested Videos, but the lack of views will also show how small the percentage of subs who actually watch may be.

I will tell you when I get some more subscribers haha :D
 
I guess its a good way to test your sub count but I probably would never end up doing that to "test" my subs. Some subs prefer Rocket League over COD and vice versa so not all your subs might like that particular content/game game. They are subbed to you but maybe wont view the video.

Some of my favourite YouTubers have uploaded series where they chose a game I really didn't like. I didn't un-sub I just didn't view and wait for his next upload of a different game.
 
I share my videos on all my social medias to make sure everyone knows they're up, but last week I got 50 views in a couple hours which was strange to me cause I usually get that amount of views in a week XD
 
I did that last week. In two days I got 30 views (probably 4 were me) and 17 of those were subs (I have 436 subs). I was going to let it go longer, but I couldn't stand letting it sit in idle, so I posted the video on Reddit.

I've thought about doing this.... but I usually get too antsy because I'm so excited and start telling the big fans it's up and promoting and what not.... Reddit usually helps me out quite a bit.... so I usually hit that up right away too, haha
 
Most of your views don't come from your subscribers. Like you I upload, and share within the next 24 hours or so. My views usually get to 100 pretty quick, and then taper off to around 300 (sometimes more, but 300 seems the limit for my vlogging videos, which I am fine with).
 
My channel update, which I didn't share, got 1000 views, but that might be because it wasn't Space Engineers, since usually (with sharing), my videos get 1,000 to 20,000 views in total.
 
In general our videos always stay on 1st page of relevant word for at least 1-2 days and after that they disappear. 2 or 3 years ago I sharred new video on reddit and because of the low retention it was removed almost immediately from first YT page. So I gain 30-40 trashy views from reddit and lost 300-400 organic from YT.
Just sharing my experience. If something gives you low retention time don't use it before you exhaust the first 24-48h credit which you receive from YT algorithm!
