Why do I have high impression but low views and CTR?

EDIT: Title is 2 Minutes of KSI and Harry Sumo Wrestling (FUNNY!). The analytics and thumbnail are attached. I think it could be because videos suggesting these are actual Sidemen videos that are simply getting more views (obviously). But I still think I could be getting more views with the amount of impressions I have.

Your ctr is indeed very low, the avg is between 5/10%. And the reason your ctr is low is because your thumbnail is not very high quality and also do you get any copyright claims?

Yeah. Ok that could be why. Maybe I will try to change the thumbnail. I dont get any copyright claims

so you promote it for them and they get the money. So i think your not really happy with that as creator.

makes sense Yeah that would suck It depends though on your goals I think Some people wouldn't mind creating community channels and uploading content for free basically

This is much better! But Harry's lighting is a little bit weird... if you know what i mean
BeWater
BeWater12mo ago
I do. I was thinking the same Is there a way to correct it or would you suggest a new image all together? I was thinking decreasing brightness and increase contrast slightly but not too sure it can be fixed

Depends if you're a photoshop expert, I think it may be better to use a other image. Yea that is possible
BeWater
BeWater12mo ago
Ok Yh I think I will just get another picture I am not a photoshop expert
cavia
cavia12mo ago
