using YouTube Analytics
Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to grow my YouTube channel for a few months now, but I feel like I’m just posting content blindly without a real plan. I’ve heard that using YouTube Analytics can completely change how you approach content strategy, but I’m not sure where to start. Does anyone have tips on analyzing the right metrics to actually make better videos and keep viewers coming back?

Absolutely! I’ve been working with AI for YouTube analytics for about a year now, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer, but it’s not magic—you still need to understand your audience. For example, I use AI to track patterns in watch time and retention, which helps me see exactly where viewers drop off. Sometimes a video seems “popular,” but the AI shows that people are leaving after 30 seconds, meaning my hook isn’t working. Another neat thing is using AI-driven sentiment analysis on comments to see how viewers react emotionally to different topics. There’s a really interesting breakdown on this in a video I watched recently that explains how AI can detect trends and optimize videos in ways you might never notice manually: liven . It goes into detail about how some platforms can even suggest optimal posting times and content tweaks based on previous engagement. The key tip I’ve learned is to combine AI insights with your own observations. You can’t just blindly follow what the AI says—sometimes it might flag something as “underperforming” even if it’s building a loyal community long-term.
