I see alot of people going on about numbers as to them, that is the substance of their channel. When you worry about numbers, and make it the big thing, you gloss over the real base of your channel, the content.
Numbers are great, they tell us where we are going, and where to improve. But the people you're referencing don't use numbers for substance as they should. They think of numbers arbitrarily, the bigger the better, but they fail to see what the individual numbers mean.
When you understand the individual numbers, you'll find that you are better equipped to use those numbers to your greatest advantage. Consider;
If someone looks at watch time, they might see a number. 100 watch minutes per day is nice, but it breaks down further. Average watch time per video? Like ratio based on watch time? Are people who watch longer more likely to like this video? If so, should I make longer or shorter videos?
