I know everyone says to post daily, but I took a full week off my channel in March and my views actually went up.
After I skipped my usual Tuesday upload last week, the algorithm seemed to push my older content harder, and my total watch time for the month in Portland jumped by 15%. Has anyone else seen their numbers improve after a short break?

Maybe the algorithm just needed a nap. Jessica_hall49, your cat's plan sounds more reliable though.

That 15% watch time jump in Portland is interesting, but it's likely a coincidence from your other content doing well. The algorithm doesn't really punish or reward you for taking a single day off. I've seen similar short-term bumps that always level back out to the normal trend.

Okay, the part about your watch time in Portland jumping after skipping an upload is wild. My channel would probably get a boost too if I took a break, but only because my cat finally figured out how to hit the space bar and my "I'm live" notification would scare all 12 of my subscribers into clicking.
