I was stuck at 50 views until I added closed captions

Posted a tutorial last week and it was going nowhere. Saw a tip about closed captions helping with watch time. Added them in the app, and within a day, views tripled. Guess the algo loves when vids are easy to watch without sound. Now I do it for every post.

Actually most people I know watch videos at home with sound on.

Always add captions so people can watch anywhere.

Makes total sense. No kidding, that's wild! I swear the algorithm just loves when you make things easy to watch. So many people scroll with sound off at work or in public. Honestly, it makes me watch longer too if I don't have to find my headphones right away. Good tip, I'm gonna try it on my next one.
