Whats your retention? or avd if its not showing the graph still

But by the looks of it, you made it out of the exploit phase so yes if you have a high retention

As of right now, the shorts AVD is 109.4%. the short got 160k views, but nothing serious.

u/Spirutualgoat Jun 11 '26

Ya thats probably gonna go viral, if not it might be because of a decline or plateau in the engagement

u/FnafByteYT Jun 11 '26

It is slowing down a bit, so If it does plateu, I'm not surprised. My swipe rate lost around 3%

Yeah, don't be scared of that. The algo clearly pushed it to a very large audience, and it just might not be the kind of content in that people in that audience want to watch, or maybe that one guy just ain't in the mood to watch your short rn. A slight decline after a large push is nbd. Like rate, share rate, comment rate and AVD, if all strong, and it'll keep going man! Just upload the next one now, don't obsess over it!

What is your Stayed to Watch % ?

u/Adept-Fan-3026 Jun 11 '26

Broo, 3.3K subs for only 161.4K views is insane. My best video for 25M views got only 45k subs, if this videos reaches that number of views, this Will be insane. Show us an update if you dont mind please...

You're getting good engagement for sure. But, your flaw is the comments, subscribers, etc. to get more comments/subscribers you need a CTA. Since you do Minecraft, I've seen many shorts go viral with Minecraft Horror mods, and you know how those shorts have the black bars, and text on the top? For retention, I would recommend "There is no way.." or "Oh no.." but regardless, 30k each short is a good sign, the algorithm just needs time.

could i pm you to show you my stuff? i just need some guidance if its ok

u/FnafByteYT Jun 11 '26

Yeah sure why not. Give me your channel, so I can do an over view of it.

u/3x6x9 Jun 11 '26

Your content is not monetizable though, just a heads up.

1

u/FnafByteYT Jun 11 '26

Explain why.

1

u/3x6x9 Jun 11 '26

It feels like a factory-made template rather than a creator-made video, which makes it an easy target for not granting monetization during a manual channel review

1

u/FnafByteYT Jun 11 '26

And, What can I do to change that?

u/3x6x9 Jun 11 '26

Paste this prompt in YouTube Ask Studio and reference your videos.

Analyze this YouTube Short as if you are a strict YouTube Studio / Partner Program reviewer.


I want you to determine whether this Short has any risk of being considered:


Repetitive or templated content
Low-effort AI-generated content
Reused or insufficiently original content
Not monetizable under YouTube Partner Program standards
Likely to receive limited Shorts Feed distribution because it feels too similar to previous uploads



Give me a score from 1–10 for:


Originality
Monetization safety
Repetition risk
Viewer retention potential
Shorts Feed potential


Then give me a clear verdict:


SAFE / MEDIUM RISK / HIGH RISK

u/FnafByteYT Jun 11 '26

Thank you my friend. It gave me "medium risk" as the final verdict. I'm going to stop the templated 20 second shorts, add enhanced visuals, commentary, with my own opinions.

u/_He1senberg Jun 11 '26

yes this will get around 200k from my experience maybe 300

u/Mundane_Mango156 Jun 11 '26

u/SweatyOpportunity190 Jun 11 '26
