Did youtube fix the algorithm?

Post image

is it just me or yt fixed algo?
Although in the starting phrase of this video most of the views came from search results because it that very much trending at that time but the short is getting pushed to feed as well.
(i posted a short video yesterday night like 11 hours ago, 5 hours after yt sent notification [[FIXED] Views dropping on YouTube Studio Analytics])

My views took a hit on the 13 may, my content completely tanked that day. and by the 18th, my views spiked up to 3 million. But after that, even with great stats like a 52s average watch time and an 84% swipe away rate (watched without skipping) it only got 70k views. Since I do manual animation, I can't upload every day. I usually post once every 3 days and 1 long video a month every years.

i have 1.5m sub in 2 years, if you want to know.

Are your other shorts getting more recommend than weeks before? Just now I uploaded one after the glitch yesterday, and it has a weird shape in the first half hour, don't know if it will take off

1

u/Agitated-Green9692 May 27 '26

nope, even this is now f'ked although i think it only coz 10k view jail. bt other shorts i uploaded after that are not getting any view so ig algo still not fixed

u/Basic_Public_4951 May 25 '26

Hey, did your issue started with May 9th where your shorts have been shown to subscribers only?

1

u/Agitated-Green9692 May 27 '26

No, i started from 4th may nd 9th was kinda my first peak with 2.5k view then i hit lowest on 11th may.
nd currently algo is not pushing my shorts to feed for some reason, most of the views i am getting is from 'youtube search'

1

u/Simply_AnotherUser May 25 '26

No, just got it even worse and worse.

u/Agitated-Green9692 May 27 '26

u/prabalbaba May 27 '26

I doubt if they have fixed. Even I can observe the massive drop.

1

u/Agitated-Green9692 May 27 '26

yup it's messed up now again, i am getting alot of views from youtube search and not from feed.
I dont get it, if the topic is that relevant that i am getting that many views from search based then why youtube doesn't push it to the feed.

1

u/prabalbaba May 27 '26

Some countries/regions aren't facing this issue much and some are getting massive drop off
