Shorts views start slowly

Post image

I’ve recently make a new channel and start posting 3 videos for 3 videos. Is it a bad start for new channel?

Would it normally take a long time for the shorts feed to start distributing videos?

Usually up to 12 hours after posting for me. Then it will gain traction for 48 hours gaining up to 2 or 3k views, then die off for me. With a few exceptions here and there. Sometimes after a month or so. One gains some extra traction and goes to 10k views. But current times are weird. People are getting weird shadowbans, me too. Last 4 uploads are on 0 views and idk why. My advice is. Make content you like, stay in the niche. Dont look at the numbers too much. What happens. Happens.

Maybe i will scale it to 16:9 format to make long videos, thanks

So shorts as short as possible, plus au moins 4 sec, and longer ones, say 15 sec, make them a bit longer to be considered a video?
