Did you publish at a time when she’s not typically watching YouTube? I know they try to optimize for many factors, not just “does this person watch every video from this channel” so if you launched your video overnight in her time zone they would typically hold that notification
Most of my videos are released around midnight CEST. Many viewers of mine watch around that time, so I'm not sure it's "late enough" for them to hold back notifications... but even if they were, I completely disagree with the logic. I want people to receive notifs immediately.
And seeing as though much of a video's momentum is driven by its viewership and engagement in the first few hours, I'd consider it detrimental to "strategically" withhold notifications.
Yeah I hear ya 100% on that one. It's obvious at this time that YouTube's primary goal is NOT "get this creator's video the number of views that they expect," but it has shifted very strongly to "get users to stay on the platform no matter what"
So the logic behind withholding the notification would be that they KNOW she'll open the app when they send your notif, and they try to optimize for when they assume she'd have time to click through to more videos after yours
It's incredibly unfriendly from a creator standpoint, and I definitely disagree with the logic (notifications are supposed to be FOR OUR VIDEOS, not FOR THE PLATFORM), but I can see why it makes sense if creators are viewed as secondary.
