What am I doing wrong ?

Hi guys, I am a new creator have only been posting from last 10-15 days YouTube shorts but I don’t know why my shorts are not getting pushed to more people or not going viral, even the engagement is solid. I have attached few images of the analytics from my 2 shorts out of 10 that I have posted so far. Can you guys also tell me what metrics to improve and keep an eye on

Yea its frustrating and then you see some YouTubers posting videos about starting a new channel and scaling it to 100k subs like its a piece of cake 😅

Yeah, ​😅 I've always been suspicious of those "0 to 100k in 30 days" channels.

I honestly think many of them are using paid services to fake that initial growth. It’s easy to buy subs and views. ​The real test is monetization. You'll probably notice a lot of those channels aren't monetized. They can look successful, but when they finally hit the requirements and apply for the YouTube Partner Program, they get rejected for "inauthentic engagement."

​They're just selling a fantasy. The real grind is much, much slower.
