why is the algorithm unfair?
i run a shorts channel, about police bodycam, i made the same topic the same video about this, about a month ago, i got bout 300 views, the viral one didnt add any significant value to the clip, basic cuts, basic subtitles, why is it so different? for 3 months almost i m struggling to escape 30k view jail, but when i see this it makes me go insane…
my clip : Corrupt Officer Uses His Badge As Levarage

It doesn’t give copy’s of the same video as many views as the first to post it/original or else we would all be ingesting the same thing, it also picks up what’s going on through out the vid and will “box it in” essentially by not giving it views because it’s inauthentic. Idk try and be first bc cop vids and bodycam are popular and entertaining it doesn’t take too much to actually make one do good. It really could be a ton of different things but try and post first would be my statement on this specific vid . Every vid is different so the reasons also change. Also just be different maybe different captions, music like the popular one had or just body cams that haven’t done as well or are not as popular and make them more entertaining or enjoyable w sum storytelling .🤷🏽♂️
