This is why track and field videos will help you to get watch time.

Do you already have 1'000 subscribers, but struggle with watch time? Then do this:
Upload a track and field race that features Jakob Ingebrigtsen or Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and you will generate a lot of watch time and maybe even get new subscribers. I only recommend this though, if your YouTube channel isn't of one specific niche, but varies in content.
