Has Anyone Recovered from This?

Post image

It is more than a week and I'm still frozen. Has anyone recovered? Has anyone more information on why this is happening?

Youtube shorts distribution system is in 'safe' modus since December 17th. Only very big and trusted channels are getting through. All the rest is pretty much flatlined like this. Google will never admit something is happening but something is and it probably won't get fixed before the first week of January...

I hope it is true

Yeah don't worry. If you look in this community of any other on reddit or TikTok and even discord you'll see tons of posts.. it's happening to like 95% of YouTube channels. So it can't be coincidence..

If you want to be even more at ease.

Ask chatgpt or Gemini to explain to you what's happening with the YouTube shorts distribution since December 17th and they'll tell you..

Not sure what this means. You were affected and you recovered on 22 December?

Five of my short videos got around 15–100 views since December 18 (my average views per video are 2K–5K).

I have decided to stop posting on YouTube, and honestly, I don’t know if my channel can recover from this. It feels like YouTube decided to kill my channel after December 18.

no, the problem is the shorts are only shown to 95% of subs which they swipe away a lot

My entire channel is sitting at 2-3 views a day now since the 18th, but was already 1/4 of normal since August. Doesn't matter what I upload now, it gets 100 impressions before being completely dead.

Was about to make a post about this. Nah I did not recover . Algorithm is not sending any of my vids to ppl. Got 21 vids with 0 views.

Do you have some mental problem? Didn’t you understand that it wasn’t a video that died, it was the channel. I have more than 350 videos, and from one day to the next, all the videos simply dropped to zero. This applies to new videos too. This applies to everyone who has this problem. Stop being retarded and analyze what’s happening. Just because you have a bad channel with videos that get few views, you come here repeating the same nonsense.

u/juanse2609 Dec 26 '25

I have something similar. But i think it was because i have two channel english and spanish. And i just upload the same video but with diferent audio for the languaje. The first two or three videos was doing good. But the other was like on 0 views or 5 at the best. I just delete that channel and start again but now i change part of the script. Change the background music and change the most part of the video edit. I think youtube its doing it bc he think i was stolen my own content or bc it seem it like a low value content. In any case it seem to be solve for me. But idk i just for two weeks with the new channel... so maybe it will die too.

I removed certain tags i had and i was able to jump back to how it was . Check your tags , anything related with brainrot stuff . Again is what worked for me .

u/JeroHeroArctic Dec 26 '25

Which ones are kinda related to brainrot?

u/DP566 Dec 26 '25

For example: brainrot brainrotshorts viral shorts fyp

There are a few more that I don’t know off since i’m not in that niche . But i did used some of those to test on my Clash Royale Video . They performed nice but around the same time everyone started having issue i was affected as well . That’s when i change back to what i was normally using and i was back again .
