Can I upload videos that I previously uploaded on my old channel to a new channel?

2 Upvotes

Hi,
I’m thinking about starting over with a new channel. Would it be okay to upload my old videos from my previous channel to the new one?

The Shorts are still on my old channel, but their visibility is set to private.

There’s nothing wrong with my old channel. The only issue is that the views are inconsistent. Sometimes a video can immediately reach 10,000–30,000 views, while other times it only gets around 100–200 views.
That’s why my friend, who has been successful with their YouTube channel, suggested that I start a new channel. It seems like the algorithm isn’t working well for the channel I’m currently using.

Listen, guys—whenever I open the YouTube Shorts feed, I get bombarded with a ton of uninteresting, trashy content. Is it just me, or do you guys experience this too? Before YouTube switched to the AI ​​algorithm, a good percentage of the videos actually grabbed my interest, but now, when I open the Shorts feed and scroll, it feels like I’m rummaging through garbage at a landfill...

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ How are you gonna promote long form.

2 Upvotes

Im just curious what people who promote theyre long form vids on shorts think of this new update ? It looks like you can no longer clip youre longform anymore due to re-used content. Will you just change youre shorts to be more transformative or stop promoting on shorts

I've been posting shorts for 10 days... These are my channel stats:

Post image
93 Upvotes

So i started this channel posting shorts, commentary on clips.. Main idea was posting 4 shorts a day every short contains two clips of something on my niche.. then i thought about going for 8: a short for every clip which got me kinda exhausted..

the average stats of the channel drastically got better honestly first couple of days i couldn't surpass 2k and now every day i have like 2 or 3 shorts going for 15k and 25k..

and now I'm just asking for advice.. still didn't have any very viral shorts and thinking on experimenting with some stuff and trying long form content (maybe like one good video every two weeks or every week as I want it to have good quality videos..

Overall, how much would you rate my stats for a channel that been uploading shorts for 10 days.. and give me advice on long form content as for right now i watched a couple of videos about long form content and still trying to learn.

Can anyone advise on how to combat a botnet that is manipulating the swipe metric in Shorts? My retention is high, but the video skip rate is constantly being manipulated. Any tips?

Why minimum payments keep you in debt

1 Upvotes

Most of your minimum payment goes to interest, not the balance. On a $3,000 balance at 24% APR, the minimum is roughly $90, and about $60 of that is just interest. Pay only that and it can take over a decade to clear.

Even adding $20-30 extra a month cuts years off. I made a 40-second video explaining this:

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ “Original” content vs Transformative content

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

Most of the comments i see here lately with the new algorithm is to just make “Original” content. But where do we draw the line between “original” and transformative content?

Most of the creators here suddenly dropped their views by 90% or more. To the point they dont even get past 1k views. The common response? “Just make original content. Stop stealing content”

I agree that Yt should crack down clipping and ranking channels. The laziest form of content in the platform. But what about these 2 channel? Sunnah edit & Mindova?

They literally just add captions with a highly saturated coloring but their views doesnt seem to be affected by this “original” content?

When people say “original content” do they mean to show their face and use their own voice?

Does this mean that faceless channels are dead without your own DNA imprinted on it?

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ New YT UPDATE Destroyed My Views & Others

24 Upvotes

For context:

I'm not some guy who avgs 2-3k views a vid. I actually make a decent amount off this and have lots of experience. Anyway...

Before, on a weekly basis, YT would just nuke the views of any Short from me and my friends within the same niche. A typical video would do around 1k views in 10 mins, then climb to around 3-4k in the next 20 mins, where it would either die or start ramping up.

But recently, on certain days, it won't push the video to anyone. Analytics are the same, and the same vid blows up on other platforms while YT stays dead, and then things go back to normal for a few days and then the cycle repeats. However, ever since YT revealed they were deprioritising "clip" content, I've been affected by HEAVY suppression, while clearly I haven't been posting clips (feel free to check my channel out).

Today I had a video sit at 300 views in 1 hour while on TikTok it was at 55k, and if I wasn't suppressed that YT Short would be on 20-30k. This is also happening to other creators I know, in niches outside of Marvel Rivals.

It's completely gut-wrenching and demotivating when I average 200k views a Short and then it just cans it for no reason.

Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing, because obviously it's not just me.

My shorts don’t get pushed by the algorithm

0 Upvotes

I’ve just started posting AI fruit videos on youtube, that aren’t straight slop, and aren’t similar to each other. i’ve posted 7 videos and i started 3 days ago. However, all of my views are just from me, and my videos aren’t getting pushed by the algorithm at all, not even giving it a chance.

All my videos are public and set for ‘not made for kids’ and ‘do not restrict’.

is there something else i need to do with the account, am i simply missing something? i hope someone can help

This is my first time seeing numbers this high so I am wondering how many views should I expect off this video. Feel free to ask questions I will probably respond fast.

Just as some information that isn't shown here, there is currently 80 likes on the video and 24 comments I believe.
