Hi there! Thanks for clarifying!

When we visit a video on your Humix channel, the first three videos recommended are your own.
That's a change we're making to help with what you're describing.

However, it's important to keep in mind that the large benefit of using Humix is distribution - meaning sharing videos and growing the audience. Your videos are being displayed on other publishers sites and channels similarly to what you're seeing after the first three recommended videos - it's an ecosystem that benefits everyone

Tucker_P_Ezoic ok yes I get that about Humix. Is there somewhere I can see exit stats from my channel pages?

Also, just so you are aware, when you guys post in here I’m no longer receiving email notifications and its not notifying me in the top right corner anymore - the last one showing is a reply from 10 days ago…

Have you logged out of the community / dashboard recently?
That sounds like you're cached into an older version of the page potentially, if you're not seeing the displayed notifications.

For email notifications, that could be a result of us hitting the spam folder (since there's been a lot of back and forth) and we'd encourage you to make sure Ezoic.com is whitelisted as a sender in your email provider settings.

When it comes to exits, Humix is representing an extremely, extremely small portion of page-exits.
Search 'humix' here and you'll see 12 total listed over the past week: https://analytics.ezoic.com/reports/content/exitPages
Your top exit pages are getting between around 200 to 600 exits over that same period.

Shared views are more difficult to keep 'up' over time because you're always going to see increased competition --- more publishers are joining Humix and generating content that might be matching on sites your videos had previously been showing on. Alternatively, sites where your videos are showing might see a decrease in visits to the pages where your videos are matching.

The best solution to this is to keep publishing good, high quality content to Humix to share, and to use best practices with SEO on those videos.

You're going to see volatility over time, that's natural, because of the nature of 'sharing' to other sites --- you can't necessarily control how traffic volume looks on the sites where your videos are matching and playing.

Tucker_P_Ezoic yup I thought as much, thank you Tucker - helpful as always!

Always happy to help!

The vertical player was enabled for desktop a couple of weeks ago. It was already enabled on mobile.

Videos should appear the same way on other sites.

If there is a playlist with a mix of vertical and horizontal videos, then the video player will default to horizontal and the vertical video will still be adjusted to fit the horizontal video player.

It depends on how it's set up and if it's a mixed playlist.If the playlist consists of vertical videos only, then it will be displayed in a vertical video player.
