If your audience retention graph looks anything like this, you should:
REMOVE your intro, always start your video with the main content
REMOVE outro monologue, end the video on the last second of content that provides value or entertainment to viewers


Your retention graph doesn't lie. Your viewers don't care about you greeting them, and they don't care to hear you say goodbye either 
So stop wasting YOUR time and your VIEWERS time!

You have at best 5-10 seconds to HOOK a viewers attention. If you did a poor job, you will have lost 20-30% of your viewers by this point.
Imagine putting all the effort of writing a great title and having a clickable thumbnail.... only to put those viewers off with an intro?
