A little insight about the viewing

One of the reasons of how PewDiePie became famous is the retention time of videos on YouTube. Complete viewing of videos meant more promotions. Keeping this thing in mind that it’s the watch time across the whole viewing session. It is only possible if you have good video content. Gamers for instance upload around 8+ videos/week with an average stretch of 9.38 minutes video. Consider this, if PewDiePie uploads only 7 videos/week with a 15 minutes video content, which generally gains 500,000 views. Then by the end of the week, the watch time of his videos will be 57.5 million minutes/week. There is another reason behind his videos getting more views i.e. his nationality. YouTube basically promotes channels locally, for instance a video uploaded in Florida will be watched in Florida than in other states of the USA. And if you live in USA, then your videos will be served within USA until you gather enough views from other countries. Only this way your videos will be promoted to people across the world. Now PewDiePie is Swedish national by birth and first started uploading videos from Sweden, where he did gain a lot of followers in a market as there was very minimum competition. Since then he moved to Italy and promotes videos from Italy. Now as he speaks good English so his videos soon got started heavily viewed in UK. This way his path for getting into the USA’s market became quite easy for him. Summing it up, his movement in different countries allowed more viewers which increased his enormous fan base.
