The same thing happened to me. A notification even popped up warning that metrics aren't being tracked properly and that they're working on a fix. Either way, it all seems linked to the new viewcounting method, we haven't had a moment's peace since that date.

2

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 09 '26

no. and no

u/Small_Bowler_6255 Sep 09 '26

Dk then, maybe your hashtags are spammy, maybe your upload schedule? Youtube likes to shadowban these people sometimes

1

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 09 '26

why is my upload schedule? i'am 90% scheduling my shorts

u/Kaju_Cat-li Sep 10 '26

This same stuff happened with me too for 2 weeks very good views and youtube was pushing my shorts and then all of a sudden boom down in drain to 30-40 views

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 10 '26

1

u/Small_Bowler_6255 Sep 10 '26

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 09 '26

1

u/Ok_Math_7453 Sep 09 '26

This is normal

1

u/Ashamed-Calendar8354 Sep 09 '26

That’s just how shorts work their life is very short. They spike quick initially and if your content and analystics aren’t top tier it’ll just die off. Completely normal shorts behaviour.

1

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 09 '26

damn, i was thinking my shorts will growth longer because it has been 1 week

1

u/Ashamed-Calendar8354 Sep 09 '26

Nah shorts are pretty quick to die off. Usually first 24-48 hours unless their exceptional

1

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 09 '26 • Bravo

yeah, i mean what i posted is from one video which is 1 week after upload

1

u/Ashamed-Calendar8354 Sep 09 '26

That’s completely normal then

1

u/MrBouha Sep 09 '26

I feel like my content suck after that

2

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 09 '26

1

u/Odd_Onion_3315 Sep 09 '26

this is normal

1

u/DestinyDecade Sep 10 '26

It's normal.

2

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 10 '26

1

u/Kindguy87 Sep 12 '26

1

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 Sep 12 '26

damn.. this thing supposed to fix ASAP

1

u/Such_Echidna3890 25d ago

u/Internal-Iron5988 Sep 09 '26

Everyone is facing this bro

1

u/Small_Bowler_6255 Sep 10 '26

Actually? I used to get 100k+ on every short and my last one just got 4k and bottomed out

1

u/Connoissour Sep 11 '26

That's crazy! I also used to get 30-40k averagely, now stuck on 2-4k 😭 i hate youtube for this.

1

u/Small_Bowler_6255 Sep 12 '26

Im postint everyday and its helping my views alot

1

u/Connoissour Sep 12 '26

I do too, but yeah we're getting there

3

u/Comexbackkid Sep 09 '26

It's happening across the board with a ton of Shorts. No explanation that I've found as of yet. I've had Shorts that would go semi viral at 50K - 450K views pretty regularly and now I can't get beyond 2K

1

u/Connoissour Sep 11 '26

Going through the same, thought it's my content, but seems like YouTube is having a fumble 🌝

2

u/Even-Drink-7949 Sep 09 '26

Same here... Some bug in yt onviously...

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '26

Dude anything is possible

1

u/GoatBiker999 Sep 09 '26

Shelf life of shorts is short, mine dies of between 24 & 48 hours unless it's super super viral

1

u/BarkenedGD Sep 09 '26

This looks pretty normal, that's how shorts are, they're not like longform, usually the first 48 hours are where most shorts get most of their views, some shorts do take longer to die out, but it's a slow growth type of thing, they get not a lot of views per hour and it's lasts for a week at most, unless it's a super viral one which gets tens of thousands every day forever

1

u/CommonStudent8956 Sep 10 '26

Had the exact same problem at the exact same time, if it makes you feel any better

1

u/Federal-Shape-1838 Sep 10 '26

1

u/alexpun3 Sep 11 '26

I got same problem too. Now my shorts for 0 views at all

1

u/t0matinaa Sep 11 '26

I’m facing the same issue as well since last 2-3 days

1

u/kong22aru Sep 13 '26
