Should You Delete Low Performing Youtube Videos? Do Low View / Low Engagement Videos Penalize Your Entire Channel?

Many people often wrestle with the decision of whether they should delete videos with low view count or videos with a short watch time which are low engagement videos.

Making a comparison to Adsense, when you have low quality blogs or articles up it can wind up smart pricing or penalizing your entire Adsense account. Does Youtube work the same way? Can one video drag down your entire Youtube Channel? And if so should you delete low view count or low engagement videos?

The answer to this is yes and no. Low view count or low engagement videos do not penalize your Youtube Channel. Each Youtube video is treated uniquely and as a single video. You can have one Youtube video which is a loser and another Youtube video which is a solid performer and neitehr affects the other. All Youtube videos are treated alone and on their own merits.

For this reason there isn't a need necessarily to delete low view count or low performing videos as they will not drag down your channel. That said you may want to delete these videos if they are poor quality and detract from the overall quality of your Youtube Channel in your viewers eyes.

Keep in mind that when you delete videos you also get the historical views from that video taken away.
