Too often I see people here talk about how a video isn't performing as well as they expected it to and so their solution is to remove it. Rarely do I see people who talk a out removing it to re-edit it and instead they just seem to remove it to either never post it again or to try again another time.

The thing is, at least in my experience, some videos will do average or below average, flat line and then months later they can get a surge of attention. It's not a guarantee for every video you upload, but I've had it happen enough times that it's worth just letting it sit.

My most recent one performed pretty average, it was a short 5min video I made covering an older topic and I didn't really expect much out of it. At 400 days after being uploaded it was sitting at around 8k views and not getting more than a handful of views a day. Then it suddenly blew up and in theast week it jumped to 46k views with a few thousand views a day. It'll die down like any other video does, but this just goes to show that a video, even the ones you don't expect, could suddenly gain traction way after being uploaded.
