Video Channel Audience Survey

Format preferences, watch habits, and the videos your audience wants next.

4 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

The algorithm optimises for watch time; a creator optimises for an audience worth keeping. This survey asks viewers directly: which formats they finish versus abandon, upload-cadence preferences, how they watch (background versus full attention changes everything about your edit), and the make-this-next request box.

The finish-versus-abandon format matrix is the channel strategy in one question – and audiences reward being asked with comment-section goodwill no analytics panel provides.
