What the platforms actually report, with paid delivery separated from organic wherever the data allows it.
Videos run 24–37 seconds and hold people for two — viewers leave after roughly 7% of each video. On the one that reached 99,000 people, fewer than 900 saw the ending.
The algorithm is distributing. The opening second is the problem.
This replaced an earlier conclusion that the account had been throttled by posting too often. For You traffic of 78–96% disproves that — and it is better news, because suppression takes months to recover from while a weak opening is fixed on the next upload.

The two highlighted rows held attention longest. Both open with a direct question or a named band in the first frame, and both drew proportionally more traffic from people with existing intent. Two videos is not proof — but it is the only visible signal about what holds attention.

Two Spotify spikes, same artist, opposite outcomes:
| Feb–Mar 2024 | Aug 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Streams | 48,918 | 6,889 |
| Saves | 1,630 | 33 |
| Save rate | 3.33% | 0.48% |
| Followers gained | +420 | +1 |
Seven times fewer streams, but fifty times worse at converting. February 2024 is proof this artist can convert attention into audience — the job is working out what was different.
