Hello, i made an benchmark channel where i test games with different graphics cards and pc hardware and would like to hear some different opinion about this viewer retention chart
my main question is if my channel intro that is 6 seconds long and basic canva intro makes the viewers close the video and if i should make a shorter and more professional intro then because 40% of the viewers dont watch more then 6 seconds
and if the chart looks overall ok
btw this is my best performing video with more then 400 views in like one week with mostly youtube search traffic
my videos get almost only traffic from youtube search because it is a topic that is very specific and not interesting if u are not searching for it
thank you in advance for the help, this is my first youtube channel and just trying to get experience for now

First, you don't need intro. 2, there is something your viewers didn't like: maybe the video quality, maybe the voice...
start with removing the intro and see the results
 
The chart looks like they skip certain parts that are boring and try to find the spots that go right to the point. What I would do is cut the unnecessary parts and make the video shorter, would also achieve more % retention, even if it's shorter in length. Getting views from search traffic is key and will actually help your channel grow if most of your videos are being searched, then youtube algo will kinda bless you

true, i compaired the chart with a worse video that had no intro and the viewers did not drop so fast i needed a confirmation i think
i cut the intros out from all vids in the yt editor and will look if there is an improvement

yea it is more like the kind of video u watch to get some data and not really for entertaining purposes, i should try some ways to pack more data in there in shorter video length
i try to go for low competition keywords and rank there what really worked well for my niche for such a new channel, i should really try to make the vids shorter in future and try that out
 
Your question is too long I don't get it, what do you wanna do?

That is common with most of the video formats. No one has the time to watch a full video of even 3-4 minutes.
 
The chart looks perfectly normal for an educational video. Worry not! You're above average.
