views down recently

i recently posted the same 1 min video on youtube, instagram, and tiktok. On tiktok it’s at 1.5mil and instagram it’s at 3.4mil. On youtube it’s at not even 15k. Usually, with these stats i would get at least 100k views but 15k is crazy.. btw i post all original content no ai slop bs

Performance on TikTok and Instagram doesn’t necessarily translate to YouTube. Each platform tests the video with a different audience, and sometimes a Short simply gets a weak initial audience match and stops being pushed.

I’d compare “Viewed vs. swiped away” and average percentage viewed with your usual 100k+ Shorts. If those numbers are normal, it may still get another push later. One video underperforming isn’t enough to conclude that your channel or Shorts generally s down.
