Just the way Todd and Jimmy said to replace the word "algorithm" with "audience", I believe creators should replace "CTR" and "AVD" with "Clickability" and "Watching Experience" or "WX", or "Watchability", or some other term that's close to meaning that.

The algorithm is purely random these days. CTR and AVD used to matter, but these days not so much. Ever since youtube started pushing the failed Shorts product, youtube has gone to shit

You are right! The production quality and set design of my own content here is pretty weak and reduces the perceived value of the content.
