Just wanted to share this as it is pretty exciting for me that it happened.

So I started youtube just under 9mo ago gained some good traction passed 1st monetization but worried about the hitting the 4k watch hours.

So long story short I had a video I made 6mo that was a consistent performer with my highest ctr. (6.3% which for the channel is great) and generally since then got pretty consistent views albeit, not a lot in over all youtube standards.

Basically out of nowhere the algo picked it up and started pushing it 20 days ago at about 80 to 100 views a day which was great then really smashed it last night to 1500 views for the day and made it my first video over 10k (again small potatoes for alot of channels but the best mine has ever done)

So it can and does happen that an old video lurking in your library can be picked up out of nowhere!!

Also of interest the video is only 5m long where most of my videos are over 10m but the avd is 54%
