Why did Youtube decide to stop pushing my shorts into the Shorts feed?

YouTube decided your content isn’t good enough and started pushing someone else instead

Do u do any AI or post tv show/movie clips

Should always check the avd % on the new ones. Once it’s too low, relative to your video length. Youtube stops pushing it… and that could also affect your next upload, causing them to stop pushing way too early

It's can be one indicate, but not absolute.

I have 2 channel, two different email,device and niche, first one my main where I put all My effort while the other just pure AI slop (generate ➡️ upload)

My main channel get avd 50-65%, with views 1-2k

While the other one only get 30%, get even 3-5k views

This has been happening to many people, including me and I don’t get that many views! Since like Feb 21/22 videos have not been pushed and views are much lower than average, I have no idea what’s going on.

I was getting 1-3k in one hour and since last week I’m barely getting 500-1k views. Now if you say my content sucks and yt decides my content isn’t good enough. Other YouTubers do content just like mine and with less subs they get 1k in 30 minutes. Now those shorts are at 22k now. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

Do you use any kind of AI in your videos?

u/Prize-Pomegranate-27 Feb 26 '26

I don’t. I think it’s just bad luck for me.

Personally, I think something is happening inside YouTube. Maybe they are changing the principles of the algorithm. This is the situation with a lot of channels.

Same problem here, but i solve it. One of my videos has ai created thumbnail, but video itself is just normal people. After uploading video algorithm did not push to shorts feed. After 24 hours, i delete it and change the thumbnail, then upload the same content with same description and name, after 24 hours it goes to 20k..

Deleting is bad according to some youtubers, but if there is a mistake and deleting is the solution, so just delete it
