I think it is viewing depth and CTR. Agree?

I totally agree! Viewing depth shows how hooked people are, and CTR is like YouTube’s version of first impressions—if they don’t click, they don’t stick! It’s like a date: if you don’t look good in the thumbnail and keep them interested, the relationship’s over before it even starts!
Definitely agree that CTR is key! I find watch time and viewer retention to be the most important for growing a channel. If you can hook viewers in the first 30 seconds and get them to watch most of the video, the YouTube algorithm will reward you. Also keeping a close eye on click through rate from impressions to see how enticing your thumbnails and titles are. Focusing on those core metrics has really helped my channel take off.
Watch time and CTR are definitely core metrics. But don't forget about audience retention, likes/dislikes ratio, comments, and shares - those show how engaging your content really is to viewers. Crafting compelling titles, thumbnails, and content that keeps people watching is key.
