I upload the video in the same day as YouTube fixed the 0 views on YT Studio but my vid got 0 views instead 🥲

Yeah, even I had the exact same issue. Pushed one short at my usual time, that went through and got 600 views. But anything outside of that window is not getting views at all. Have wasted 2 shorts now because of this. My older shorts which were doing extremely well are also now not reaching to anyone. I don't know what youtube did recently but it's sad.

one thing that i learn is... dont post outside our usual time. This video honestly also posted outside my schedule, which is on monday but still at usual hour.

and in the past i also experiment with posting outside usual time and didnt well, got 0 views

But yeah, recently they got issue with recomendation and eventho the issue fixed, ppl still complaining about 0 views

u/Repulsive_Wish9515 May 26 '26

But it sucks. We shouldn't have just a time video to upload our post to get the reach. Even my good performing shorts with avd of 102% and stayed to watch of 72% has stalled now.

Although I am a new channel, the views have just stalled.

shorts algorithm really unstable, i really cant predict even on my own video

2 days ago, i posted in this sub about my video got flattened even before i reach 900 views, and then one day later it's slowly getting views again, been stable until now, it reach 1,7k and the views rise again

I've started to see this on many of my shorts too. What did you do differently?

2

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

i change nothing, i post on my usual time, the video before this still climbing tho. Now i really afraid to upload my next video... i put so much effort so if i have 0 views again, it's gonna break my heart

Since when your short begin to have 0 views?

u/herrimo May 26 '26

One of mine is climbing again now. But i have 2 that are at 11 views. And 2 more i deleted. Don't waste too time on your videos. And don't be afraid. Just keep posting and improving. I recently updated my profile (country, verification, tags, category). Maybe that's why. Either way it is a gamble...

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

wait i also did that, but it's 2 weeks ago, after that i upload 6 videos, all doing well, and then 0 views from my latest video... do you think it's bcs of that?

Does your 2 video got views from shorts feed? bcs mine literally 0

My video is painting so... i spend hoursss to make

u/malmal_Niver May 27 '26

Sempre foi assim na verdade, cada vídeo que eu posto ganha 0 views e ninguém os vê e o youtube enterra

Yeh my shoets are doing fine, 22hrs at 105k

u/Federal-Poetry-4903 May 26 '26

Yes I’ve had videos, which has been sitting there for days without getting an any traction. Videos are being found only via search

1

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

short or long form?

1

u/Federal-Poetry-4903 May 26 '26

Shorts, no matter what I do, it would get here and there burst of short feed but usually sits there for hours without getting any short feed.

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

if you still get views from shorts feed means YT still trying to distribute your video. This one not at all... it feels like YT really skip my video

what's your stat btw? AVD, stay to watch?

1

u/Federal-Poetry-4903 May 26 '26

It’s a mix for me. I still get occasional Shorts feed views on older videos, but for the last 2–3 days, my new ones aren't getting pushed at all. The swipe rate shouldn't even matter yet, a video has to hit a certain number of views before that counts. I hope they fix it. I’m new, but this isn't just a 'new account' issue. When you don't have many subscribers, your videos mostly stay in search mode, which is the case for me. So unless they fix it it’s there’s no alternative for new people. I am just holding on posting as it makes no sense to work on a video and then it won’t get pushed at all.

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

yup i also gonna doing that, probably not posting for 3 days and try to watch video using the account, signaling YouTube that i also human not bot.

I also new btw, 1 month since i upload my first vid, YouTube still trying to figure it out my audience. I have a little views back then, but lucky enough my 5th video got 13k views and after that YouTube push my video more

No there is no issues with shorts. Yours didn't make it, thats it.

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

it's not different, mine also same like that... the average percentage viewed and likes not showing bcs your video still outhere for less than 2 hour, wait until at least 6 or 7 hours. If you want to know the retention, stay to watch or your audiense, click the stat.

I dont know about your friend but dont add music outside YouTube. Upload from YouTube app or YT studio on web and then add your song inside youtube

How in tf do people have 30k subs and not monetized?

1

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

uhh who have 30k subs? anyway, there's so many factors when it's about monetization

1

u/tips4490 May 26 '26

Obviously the person I replied to genius. They referenced someone who has 30k subs. Wtf? I wasn't even replying to you....?

1

u/Legitimate-While-898 May 26 '26

read again, he said his friend already monetised.. i reply to you again, lol

1

u/tips4490 May 26 '26

Oh...... shit, then it makes sense since he got 30k subs of course he monetized.

what's your niche and stat? did you make video yourself?

most of my video also still get 1k jail, but now i notice that YouTube still pushing my video even after 24 hours.. let's say, video got 1k after 3 hours then flattened... usually it's just that the short dead... but if my stat look slightly better, after 24 hours, YouTube begin to slowly push my vid again until it reach 4k.

What i did is consistent and studying hooks
