We should update these posts with the results to see if there is a strong relationship between the number of views > 0 sec and a invitation to interview. I'm sure future applicants would appreciate it (or re-applicants...) GL everyone, try not to stress too much

I don't think number of views will correlate with an increased chance of getting an interview, but I'm pretty sure getting no views will correlate with not getting an interview.

Totally agree that none of us should be stressing about this. Cheers.

Quoting from Quora "The advice we received was that they really like them to be a minute or less because founders/partners only have a few minutes to read each application.

It could be that you gave enough information in that time or that because it was 1:30 they just watched some of it to get an understanding. I wouldn't worry about it though."

That is good to know; mine was watched for < 1 min as well.
