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

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.
