What Does 'Retention Ladder' Mean?

Brainrot Score: 5.7NICHE
[ SLANG ][ CREATOR_GROWTH ][ NOUN ]

The staged sequence of retention checkpoints a video is designed to clear one after another, distinct from a retention window by covering the whole video's structure rather than just the highest-risk early stretch.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Cleared the whole retention ladder on that one, viewers stuck around rung after rung all the way to the end."

LORE & ORIGIN

Borrows 'ladder' from staged-progression language, extending 'retention-window'/'retention-gradient' across a video's full runtime.
