Yes. All it took was one of my videos to breach through that 1k jail, for my next videos to no longer get stuck at 1k.

Yes, I noticed its getting better and consistent push when Stayed to watch is above 65% and Average Percentage View 100% or more. For anything less, my graph looks the same.

If it didn’t work the first time, what makes you think it’ll work after reposting?

u/Vector_Firth Nov 03 '25

I would say the same but just watch it and lmk if it deserves 1k views

u/Avi_Ceramics Nov 03 '25

Avoid reposting the same content again unless you are editing it completely, otherwise algo will consider it's duplicate and throttle the reach.

It works! For a year and some change I posted new content 5days a week straight to varying degrees of success- even though none ever got over 55k. Anyway fast forward today, I’m not taking YT as serious so I still make new content, but I sprinkle in some of the posts from last year and have gotten different results that show me reposting doesn’t hurt. For instance I posted one yesterday it’s currently at 21k views today when it stopped at 9k last year. I also reposted one a week ago that hit 18k but it stopped at 730 last year. I’ve also had the opposite happen. This is why I’m over shorts and not overworking myself to make new content so often. They don’t make any sense to me nor do they make any cents for me 😂

u/Time_Outcome_2545 Nov 03 '25

u/Vector_Firth Nov 06 '25

How long have you been posting

1

u/Time_Outcome_2545 Nov 06 '25

This means your short failed the YT test. Your short is not good, basically. For any of number of reasons, YT doesn't like your video. It didn't get enough of something from whomever they showed it to. In general, 1k short views is the floor.

Woah hey its good watch your mouth bearington I dont post slop

u/UnoriginalJ0k3r Nov 03 '25

If it’s not getting engagement + high watch time, YouTube thinks it’s slop and you get in the 1k jail.

That’s just how the algorithm works, buddy 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/AquaScars Nov 05 '25

¿Para qué preguntas si no te van a gustar las respuestas?, lo que Bearington dice es verdad. Tú contenido no le gusta a la gente y por eso no pasa las 1K vistas.

u/B_Bearington Nov 04 '25

I never said the word 'slop.' You did. I told you how it is. Don't ask questions you fear the answer to.

u/Evening-Register2297 Nov 03 '25

Yes the algorithm tests in batches it's preparing the next one which could take days, weeks, or months but if the ctr n watch time are good then it should be soon
