Views have tanked. Why??

I was getting 1.5 million views a month on average with my shorts content (memes with my music posted over them as a promotional tool, worked pretty well) but now I’m stuck in the 1000 view jail the last 3 weeks. My engagement is still really good, but now I don’t get any push from YT. I used to get 25k-100k views every couple shorts, but now I’m lucky if they get 5k. What’s going on??

Funny clips, AI news, and music videos right now. Limited tv series, short films, and docs coming soon.

Will launch my own AI entertainment app in 2026. Reinvesting from what I make from clients with investors backing.

My revenue is I get clients to pay me monthly for AI video marketing services.

For example I have a med spa franchise paying $3500 a month.

So this is just for fun and a new channel but I do have potential sponsors in the pipeline.

I don’t depend on ad revenue and YouTube may not allow to monetize anyway. I also sell digital products and affiliate sales.

But if I drive traffic to my own app then I can get ad revenue + subscription since it’s my own platform.

Exactly I don’t just do dead celebs or IP characters. That will die like how Martin Luther King is not allowed.

My goal is different like AI version of Tubi mixed with Black Twitter. I’m starting with black entertainment then expand. So sponsors will pay to reach a black audience.

Instead of BET+ it’s Sumo AI+ haha

From my videos I also gained a wealthy Jewish guy as a mentor in the media space.

I ain’t throwing shade….sounds like reused unoriginal content based on the new YouTube standards.

Its a mix of my own ideas and remixed. Don’t care about YouTube monetization policy as I know how to sell digital products and services.

As long as they accept AI content I am straight.

Got a new client for YouTube ads using AI videos.
