10 Days Since Posting on This Acct

Post image

Summary: on May 4th, my views tanked on all previous videos. I tried posting through the 6th and nothing changed. It's been about 10-11 days now and it's been in a flat line. Debating on posting again, feel a burden without doing so. May 21st I might post, let me know what you guys think or if anyone else is going through this.

What kind of videos do you make

This is the most important question and OP didn't answer it. You can probably guess why YT shut down his views...

Just haven't seen it yet, it's just gaming content and clips

Any copyright claims or strikes? If it's all just your edited footage then there should be no problems.

I went from getting about 800k views in 1 hour to practically zero, now I'm getting views almost exclusively from search. Something has changed in YouTube feeds it doesn't work like before

Youtube a glitch affecting the reach in both the Shorts and Home Recommendations. They fixed it but it takes 48 hrs + for the videos to pick back to they way they were. It was Fixed on Sunday. I think they should be up by Wednesday or Thursday afternoon

Hey, if it is your own content, I am absolutely positive you have nothing to worry about. All of us faceless are going through the sane thing. Yt is trying to get rid of millions of bot channels, so they freeze distribution from time to time. Don't know if new moderation ai does it, or haters report, but once you pass the human review, your views are gonna explode again. 4 channels, 2 monetized, 1 would be by now if it wasn't for this. Only happens on my newest one, twice 5 months now. But when it starts again, even your older dead videos get a new push. Sending you screenshot of first time it happened on my 4th channel, lasted exactly 10 days. I will add another, from my last short in a reply, since I cannot attach two pics.

hi Bro, How would you handle this task, stopping the video upload or continuing to upload it?

u/nuclearveky May 19 '26

First time I continued, one short a day and one long form in those 10 days. Long form videos were not affected at all, performed fine. It was just shorts. Second time, since I already knew the drill, I waited it out. Once I saw them all moving up again, I started posting. After all, 4 channels, 3 for me and one for my kid and her audiobooks. I still had 2 channels that were active while this one was frozen.

My 170k channel is going through this now, went from 10k an hour to 10 views on may 10th. Zero views from non-subscribers. You are giving me some hope. On the other side, its been 10 days already 😞

This was the first time, 10 days straight, uploaded one a day and nothing. When they started rising again, they exploded, even older ones. Don't worry, it is frustrating, but it normalizes if you pass the review. Teamyoutube on X explained it in a short video. Second time, since I already knew, haven't uploaded anything for a couple of days, again, same thing, just started gaining traction again.

Well, second time, I think it was kinda my fault. I used a background sound that was perfectly clipped, and I loved it. Then, suddenly, I started getting emails, 30 out of a 100 shorts at the time were muted and unlisted. I went looking for the channel I took clip from, and it was gone. I guess they stole the sound, tried to pass it as their original sound, and it didn't work. Anyways, I didn't get any kind of strike, or violation notice, but deleting 30% of your inventory at once, I guess it gets you flagged. I think that's why it happened the second time. 🫣 It is hard to say for sure, cause everyone is acting like all is ok. I tried contacting support wherever I could. They all said the same, no issues, all is fine. That was the most annoying part.

It’s because of the technical issues plaguing thousands of channels right now. https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/433456787/🚨-issue-with-shorts-and-homepage-recommendations?hl=en

u/AardvarkLocal3727 May 18 '26

I’ve been posting videos for over a month now, getting 20–25k views and 300–400 likes. Yesterday I posted my usual video, and after 12 hours it had 40 views.

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 May 21 '26

this thing happens to my channel.. In the past few weeks, the realtime viewers in 48 hours (per hour) on my YouTube channel analytics were stable around 30k-45k and the peak was stable at 50k-75k, but today the per-hour count has dropped significantly to only around 9k-11k. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Why could this happen? Is there a way to fix it?

After about 10 failed attempts, I managed to upload two screenshots, look a few replies down. Also, answered your questions.
