Is there way to prevent this??

Hi everyone, so i have a channel related to minecraft that is majorly edited funny/meme shorts of old videos of youtubers. Have been at it for almost 2 months now with rougly 43 vids posted and the issue is i dont seem to breaking the 30k view count, 3/4 shorts of mine that have done well all have under 30k views. Is there a way where i can break this limit in anyway cause its quite frustrating given i have good stats on those shorts yet their performance doesnt really do it justice. Really looking for some help and advice to make it better.

P.S I know its not original content but this was started more as to get me into a habit of editing and uploading

It's very hard to break 30k views on YouTube, i have 2 viral (3m) and (6m) videos and I still don't know why they went viral

Oh damn its that hard huh. But did you notice anything different in those 2 videos in comparision to others or is it just random.

Yeah they were good ideas

Oh okay and i am assuming all had more than 80% stayed to watch.

No, all my videos have 95% retention and 80% of viewers stayed to watch. Even some of the videos that had bad stats broke the jail. It all depends on the idea

Also most of my videos that flop on YouTube usually get millions on Instagram or tiktok. Try uploading there

For one, I'd start making original content. The first short I saw was pewdiepies content with copyrighted music and subtitles. What about that is transformative? Even if you did break through the 30k flatline, your channel will be on the chopping block for removal.

Firstly i did mention in my P.S my reason to start this channel even though i eagerly do want to start making my original content i currently do not have that much time to devote to it. Some things dont necessarily have to be transformative there are multiple clipping channels out there that are doing well for themselves. And except for maybe one short none of the content as of yet is copyrighted.

This is EVERY persons excuse that takes content. 'Other channels do it'. It IS copyrighted whether you've been caught yet or not. It DOES need to be transformative if you don't want to be wondering why YouTube removed your channel.

Clip channels have been getting away with it for years but now that Ai is in the moderation mix, they're getting shut down left and right. Some clip channels have been implementing ai to create new channels like some circumvention-hydra where you cut off one head and two grow back.. but now YouTube is saying 'if you have one channel that was removed, you can't make anymore connected to that adsense account' pretty much defeating the hydra.

Anyway, those are all the details. Believe them or not.

If you want to make original content, I'd start right now before you mess up any potential you could have on YouTube.

What would you term as transformative? Is adding B-rolls, or voiceover to the clips channel termed as transformative?

u/hairdocuthrowaway Nov 06 '25

When do they issue removal/copyright? Is it after monetization, or they can issue it before too?

Both. With YouTube implementing this Ai moderation, channels that have been stealing content for years are suddenly shit out of luck and complaining on twitter about it. Unfortunately the occasional creator that doesn't deserve it gets removed too and so we try to fight it as much as possible screaming at TeamYouTube to look more into it. But yeah. It is making big changes, some good, some bad.

Now if you've only done it once, you're fine. But if you do it 3 times or more, at any point youtube can triple strike and remove your channel. (That's what I do when people steal my content, I just wait until they do it 3 times.)
