When I asked whether people who view videos go on to become editors, the only answers I received were about how long people "view the wiki". Apparently people who view videos stay on the site longer and view more pages. (Translation: "they view more ads".)

If more people stick around longer, yes, there are more potential editors, but Wikia Staff are not measuring the "view videos -> become editors" relationship, or at least, they refuse to answer questions about it.
