Where Impressions Start for New Videos

Entry points matter

Impressions come from places like browse pages or suggested feeds. Each entry point sends a small test batch of viewers to a video to see how they react.

Batch testing

The system tests a video with a small group first. If that group shows some interest, it can send a larger batch. If not, it stops sending as many impressions.

This means reach can grow slowly at first before picking up speed.

A small test batch can say more than guessing from one day of data.

Key takeaways

• Browse and suggested feeds are common entry points.
• Small test batches limit wasted exposure.
• Early reactions decide if more impressions follow.

By noting which entry point sends impressions first, you can tell if a video fits one feed type. That clue helps when planning your next clip for a similar path.
