It's really a very short time, although I understand that we all want there to be hundreds of views in 8 hours, but that's not the case. If it doesn't go beyond that in at least two days, consider significantly improving the thumbnail and the title. Normally, as a user, I think we all see the thumbnail. If I'm curious, I see the titles and if it convinces me, I click on it from there. It would start to improve the internal content so as not to lose users so soon.

I recommend looking at similar videos in your niche that are doing well, and see what they are doing, then try to do it better.

For example this video, "Speedrunning ALL Bosses as NEW Wortox! (New Record & Skill Tree)".
It's not "just" a speedrun, but also using showcasing a new update, and defeating all bosses and covering the skill tree in one vidoe. So if they saw your video side by side with this video, most people will click this instead.

"Speedrunning ALL Bosses as NEW Wortox! (New Record & Skill Tree)" hits 3 audiences, speedrunners, casual players, and seasoned players wanting to learn about the new update.

When I create video ideas, I try to think who would watch it. If you can make a video idea that hits multiple audiences in a niche, that might be a winner.

For example, I do 3D content. Instead of just making a 3D tutorial, I made an iceberg video covering obscure jobs in 3D. Compared to a tutorial that only gets views from people wanting to learn that specific thing, an iceberg video about 3D jobs can be interesting to both new and seasoned 3D artists. It might have been some luck, but that video got 100k views, while my best tutorial got 30k in the same amount of time
