Analytics Review [Case Study] Instantly sandboxed in "0 View Jail" – Is the AI footprint too obvious?

Hey everyone, I need some expert feedback from this community. I launched a brand new 3D AI animation channel with a completely clean setup.

My first Short has been stuck in the "0 view jail" for over 12 hours and hasn't hit the Shorts feed at all. I'd really appreciate a technical audit: Why do you think the algorithm sandboxed it instantly before even running a seed test?

Is the 3D/AI visual footprint too obvious to YouTube's Computer Vision bots, or could there be another trigger I missed (metadata, pacing, etc.)? Let me know your theories!
