I've observed a noticeable shift in Lele's format over the last three months, specifically moving from shorter informational clips to 45+ minute detailed case studies, such as the recent 'Scaling the D2C E-commerce Empire' video. While the production quality is stellar, I'm curious if anyone has data or theories regarding the sustained audience retention on these longer pieces. Are the high-quality insights compensating for the increased viewing time requirement, or is the channel optimizing purely for watch time metrics rather than subscriber conversion efficiency? The depth is appreciated, but the algorithmic trade-offs are worth discussing.
