What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ CREATOR ]
The practical upper limit on how long a piece of content can hold viewer attention, regardless of how well-optimized the hook and pacing are.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Even a perfect hook hits a retention ceiling eventually, format alone can only hold attention so long."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named as the counterpart concept to scroll ceiling, describing the ceiling specifically for sustained watch time rather than the scrolling decision itself.
