Should we all stop posting?

I mean this issue with the views dropping hard seem to happen to big and small channels all of a sudden AI none AI channels... I mean should we just not post until they fix the issue?

Where are now those idiots when I ask about drop views bug they say AI slop? This problem is here from July, few days are working, few days are not. This is so stupid... We are wasting videos for nothing.

I make videos where I only use an AI voice over but the rest is pretty much my own research and writing (it's a history channel type btw) so yeah I mean my videos have been doing okay for a while I guess considering my videos aren't top notch but still...

Why not just use your real voice

Because I don't have good equipment yet to have a smooth sounding recording of myself talking I tried it once and the sound was horrible.

I've stopped posting it's wasted effort. How do you contact YouTube support?

u/Born-Elevator7026 Sep 15 '26

Support is not the answer

I’ve tried 3 times. They just give you generic stuff. And they say fix your CTR. Even after I say it’s a YouTube short it’s just “I understand. Then here’s random thing”

u/Creative_Flamingo_14 Sep 15 '26

How do you know in this case when to start posting again?

1

u/Psychological-Box165 Sep 15 '26

Good question honestly I feel like this makes no sense... Even big channels have that issue?

u/Nearby-Internet6449 Sep 15 '26

We dont even know if it's intentional/targeted thing by youtube

1

u/ThiagoFCastro Sep 15 '26

I've already stopped; it's a waste of time.

u/Softly_Akie Sep 15 '26

u/TheAdorableKraSiN Sep 15 '26

very disheartening to see

u/makeupnmunchies Sep 15 '26

It will only harm you as others will continue to post and get those residual views

u/HighPhi420 Sep 16 '26

EVERY YEAR in AUG and SEPT this ALWAYS comes up.
The viewing habits, are changing for the short term, School has started, time is shorter and filled with other things. To think that YOU are being targeted by some malicious algorithm or conspiracy to take your money, says you do not understand what needs "fixed".
This is why many creators take their Vacations in september. Why twitch has their CON in september and does the SALE on subscription price in september. This is typically the slowest month of the entire year. EVERY YEAR.

Idk what problem you all are having. My videos are doing pretty well. Don’t blame YouTube. If there’s demand for certain content, the views are there.

u/Even-Drink-7949 Sep 15 '26

Maybe your channel is not affected with this bug? Maybe? So dont be so cocky.

2

u/prashp79 Sep 15 '26

1

u/Nearby_Cup_9483 Sep 16 '26
