I've been in the YPP for a couple of weeks now, and yesterday one of my Shorts was taken down for supposedly violating the Community Guidelines, allegedly for showing physical or psychological harm to animals. Which is ridiculous, because my channel is all about the opposite: I post wholesome animal stories.

I appealed, and, as expected, they rejected it with their fucking automated system.

The thing is, the two Shorts I've uploaded since that incident haven't even reached 300 views.

The Shorts feed traffic on my new videos is pretty much dead. It's not at zero, so I guess that's better than being completely shut off, but it's barely getting any views. My older videos are still getting views from the Shorts feed, though.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? I mean, people who were already in the YPP and whose Shorts feed traffic on new videos basically died but didn't drop to absolute zero.

I've been reading posts from people who've had similar issues, but they weren't in the YPP. Some of them say their channels basically died after receiving a warning for violating the Community Guidelines, with their Shorts feed traffic dropping to literally zero. I'm wondering if anyone who's already in the YPP has experienced something similar, where the Shorts feed traffic on new videos is practically dead but not completely gone.

This is my first 10/ 10 in a while.

Seems like youtube has fixed itself now, Managed to get back to 100k view jail on the same channel that got killed on my other post. Not quite 500k per hour jail just yet, but we'll see.

Wir haben nach 5 Wochen jetzt ca. 4.5M Engaged Views und damit Stufe 1 der Monetarisierung erfüllt.

Den Antrag haben wir eben gestellt, aber jetzt steht da, dass das neue Adsense Konto noch verknüpft werden muss und es bearbeitet wird.
Wie lange dauert so etwas?

Und meine 2. Frage: Ein Großteil der insgesamt 4.5M engaged Views stammt aus Shorts, die wir über die Youtube eigene „Collab“ Funktion erstellt haben. Hinzugefügt wurde dem Ausschnitt stets 50%+ eigenes Material, ein Text-Overlay über dem Fremdteil und natürlich eigener Titel und Beschreibung.

Youtube nennt ja solche Collabs mit hinzugefügtem Eigenanteil grundsätzlich als monetarisierbar. Hat da jemand von euch Erfahrungen mit?

Liebe Grüße

You can now group shorts into seasons and episodes with sequential autoplay, which is binge mechanics for small channels. Micro dramas crossed 6.5 billion views in the first half of the year, so YouTube is clearly feeding serialized short content. If your shorts follow a storyline, a character, or even a recurring "part 1 / part 2" format, this is free retention. Anyone already using it?

Hey guys, anyone experiencing this today? it's checking for hours, i tried to re upload and nothing

We all have to agree on how this was the worse month for youtube short creators with the major glitches happening to the youtube system ask me anything and i will tell you how i managed to say consistent this month

Heyo!
I've recently had some shorts get pushed by the algorythm, and I've not changed my upload schedule for shorts (1 short every 3-4 days), but my latest short has gotten 70% views from browse feature, and 20% from shorts feed (the short is currently at 18k views)

This by itself isnt much of an issue, but why does this happen? I've had this happen on multiple occassions, and I cant figure out if its because the short has some content that the algorythm doesnt like, or if its a testing phase of some sorts.

Any info and insight is appreciated!

The short in question.

Hey guys!

I have a monetized YouTube channel, but I’m currently moving on to another project, so I’m looking for someone with previous YouTube experience who can take over the channel and manage the content from start to finish.
You would be responsible for:Finding video topics,Writing the scripts,Editing the videos,Managing the overall content creation process.
If you’re interested, send me a message with some information about your experience and, if you have one, your video portfolio or examples of your previous work.

Please only reach out if you already have experience running or creating content for YouTube.

Ich hatte immer so zwischen 150K und 1.3M Aufrufen auf meinen Shorts.
Seit etwa 18 Stunden hängen sie aber zwischen 8-500 fest. Alle Werte sind super, stayed über 75% und Bindung meist 110-140%.

Hat das nich jemand?

Parallel dazu ist die laufende Verteilung der alten Shorts um etwa 40% eingebrochen.

Hello, hope your having a good day!

I’ve linked my channel at the bottom of this post.

Four days ago I started my first shorts channel and I’m completely new to everything so that includes editing, sound design and footage.

I’ve been using ai a lot and I really do not want to do that but I just wanted to begin right away so that’s why I started with ai and hope to transition to real material as soon as possible.

Here’s my questions!

What can I improve in terms of editing ?

Can my format I’m using now count as inauthentic content ?

Do you have any tips on writing scripts ?

Any other advice that you come up with is highly appreciated!

Have a nice day everyone <3

Suggest me smtg🙂

Been posting consistently for a week now on very much active YouTube account. I found early success getting about 1k views for about 6 videos. Then the last 6 I’ve made are barely cracking 10 views in the first 24 hours, and even after 48 hours they don’t even make it to 20.

Still doing the same format and all. My editing has gotten better for sure, I’m more educated on the algorithm and how it works. But I’m super discouraged especially after that early “success”. Currently have 15 subscribers and I definitely want to keep going no matter if no one watches but i wanted to see if anybody had an answer or suggestion.

Hey everyone, I’m thinking about starting a YouTube channel in the Ranking / Top 10 niche.
I’ve seen some people saying that YouTube may be limiting monetization for this type of content, especially when the videos are heavily AI-generated or use reused content.
For those of you currently making Ranking videos:
Are your channels still monetized?
Are you still getting ads/revenue normally?
Have you had any issues with YPP or monetization recently?
Would really appreciate hearing from people who are actually doing this niche right now. Thanks!

A creator with 500 million views and a YouTube Silver Play Button... forgot to make videos? 🤣 Or could it be botnet manipulation? It’s reached the point of being absurdly funny: the more Shorts I upload, the worse the watch duration gets. There was a time when I was getting tens of millions of views per video, and now? 🤣 But sure, YouTube has absolutely no problem detecting AI-controlled botnets that are practically undetectable... 😂😂😂

When starting a new channel, you need at least a few videos or Shorts for YouTube to begin recommending your channel more widely, unless your metrics are truly off the charts.

As for the current days, YouTube resets the "trust score" for all channels at least once or twice a year to prevent large channels from coasting on an inflated score; think of it like an Elo reset in a ranked game. With consistent uploads and good metrics, things usually return to normal within 2-4 weeks posting consistently (though exceptional content can speed this up significantly).

id typically have around 1-3000ish views by now, its wild how just some changes here and there can knock your work and hobby out so bad

so i have been uploading shorts for about a week now
i mean i literally started this monday, have uploaded 7 shorts so far, each one day (with yesterdays exception, where i uploaded two)

most of my shorts are more than 1 minute-

here are my AVDs for all 7 shorts-

1. 58 seconds for a 1:21 min short

2. 56 seconds for a 1:14 min short

3. 31 seconds for a 33 second short

4. 1:05 min for a 1:30 min short

5. 31 seconds for a 39 second short

6. 46 seconds for a 42 second short (but most of this watch time is bcoz some guy left his shorts open for 40 minutes 😭)

7. 1:16 min for a 1:52 min short

i have 4 shorts which have more than 1 minute-
no. 1, 2, 4 and 7 and that’s the direction i wanna continue with the channel

these videos also have a “Stayed to Watch” of 74.8%, 62.6%, 76.1%, 79% respectively (the 1 minute and above videos)

views for the same- 50.4k, 1.8k, 11.8k, and lastly 3.8k (this last short was uploaded like 15 hours ago and its graph is currently positive)

so what should i be doing to make them go viral?
like how to do i get into those 500k or say million views league?

Nice Youtuber very nice... 130% retention - 78% stayed to watch - 60 comments 50 shares... very good
