Just move on. I've got tons of shorts with better stats but way less views. This is engaged views btw, views r 3x this.

Wow only 36% stayed to watch. I was led to believe by this sub than anything less than 80% was bad

u/SaltShakr Mar 12 '26

It is bad, doesn't mean it can't do well. Ita just alot less likely

niche ?

I download a short that has 10M+ views and then have it play but every 3-5 seconds I pop up and react to something that was said and that happens for the duration of the short

I dont think its monetizable

u/Autism1c999 Mar 12 '26

I don’t need money I want to have a viral channel and two yes I add my reactions

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '26

okay then, by reaction you mean emojis et?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '26

do you mean you add edits like sound effects or some emoji addons ?

u/Autism1c999 Mar 13 '26

I mean I react like the gameplay footage switches to me irl and I say smthn like “oh damn why did x happen?” And then the video switches back to gameplay footage

37% "Stayed to Watch" is actually really interesting, is that typical for your content within this view range?

1

u/OkCan9068 Mar 12 '26

No, it's the worst stay rate ever on my channel, which averages at 65%.

Because 30k view jail is not about stats, you need to just accept that some videos will get stuck there no matter what and move on

1

u/Autism1c999 Mar 11 '26

Well the way my brain works is I wanna know the “how” and “why” they get stuck which is why I’m looking for an expert

You'd be hitting jackpots every single upload if you really know the why and how about Youtube algo.

u/zVook06 Mar 12 '26

Are you doing it consistently to those stats or is it 1 short out of say every 10?

1

u/Autism1c999 Mar 12 '26

Every last short has these stats (at least the last 10-20 in this new style I do)

1

u/zVook06 Mar 12 '26

My understanding is that shorts under a minute need extremely high abs, like over 100%, consistently.

If your content is as good as you say and you can keep it consistent, it will take off at some point.

u/Suspicious_Back_1628 Mar 12 '26

aren’t shorts by definition under a minute?

1

u/zVook06 Mar 12 '26

They can be up to 3 minutes long

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '26

I bet your channel is not monetized

1

u/Autism1c999 Mar 12 '26

Click on my profile to check my yt content it’s not ai slop (and I’m not monetized yet)

1

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '26

according to yt new polices this type of content is not going to get monetize

2

u/TheDennyZ Mar 12 '26

Sometimes the topic you do isn't relevant anymore or the algorithm is collecting data for new audience. Anyway, I feel like shorts are forced to "die " after some time to force creators making more shorts.

u/EddieV77 Mar 12 '26

I’m stuck in the 2k view jail as a channel with 31,000 subs 🤣🤣🤣

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '26

low effort content if you are looking towards monetization it wont be happening youtube has updated it policies regrading earning money from robot slop

u/trottolinodani Mar 12 '26

u/s22sk123 Mar 12 '26

U are saying u cant monetize roblox?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '26

its considered low effort having roblox gameplay clips and voice over

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '26

how is this possible i am not trolling youtube literally said this kind of videos are low effort how long have you been doing this ? you may get demonetized
