·7 min read·GoScript Team /Research
Two paths
Browse feeds tend to show content related to what viewers already seek. Suggested feeds tend to show content the system thinks may interest a viewer next.
Different fits
A clear topic can earn browse impressions from search-like intent. A surprising or timely clip can earn suggested impressions by stretching to new viewers.
Knowing the split helps you pick a goal for each video you make.
Browse rewards clarity, and suggested rewards a strong hook.
Key takeaways
- Browse uses existing viewer intent.
- Suggested tests interest with new viewers.
