This means that viewers watch up to 60% of your video content. However, its answer also depends on your category of content and chosen niche. For example,a higher vlog audience retention rate means viewers like your content and want to view it more. However, your videos will perform better regardless of your niche if the audience retention rate is at least 15%.
