Yeah, user behavior is definitely a metric these days, but it's plain insane if it's a sitewide metric with such a BIG impact.
Thousands of people let a youtube playlist play for hours and hours, so lets reward youtube for "time on site" and serve it as answer for any query with any remotely related video.
Also...
I'm checking "pornhub year in review 2017"
pornhub - average time on site 10 min
my site - around 5 mins
pornhub didn't disclose bounce rate in the review, but mine is around 38%
Overall, I find my stats decent enough... yet, I'm down in the gutter.
What I find even MORE worrying - google is doing all kinds of tweaks and adjustments, yet they do ZERO shit when it comes to rewarding authorship and originality. One big russian tube stole a shitload of my videos (and my identical titles and descriptions), like.. 5 years after I initially published them. Guess what? They rank for exact title query - THAT is the main problem, IMHO
