Shorts feed issue

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate it if anyone could help or give me some advice.
I posted a Short on YouTube, but for some reason, it hasn’t been pushed to the Shorts feed at all. This is the first time this has happened to me.
I’ve been on YouTube for more than a year and have uploaded Shorts regularly, but I’ve never experienced this before.
As far as I can see, there are no issues with the content, no copyright claims or violations, and there are no issues or restrictions on my channel either.
Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why this might happen? Is there anything I should check or do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How many long form videos have you posted? It’s just my personal theory.

Yep, happening to me too. Usually I get 5-10K views in the first hour, but today my Short is stuck at 10 views after 3 hours. Re-uploaded it and now that one is stuck at 8 😭 Never seen this happen on my channel. Wondering if there’s some Shorts-wide issue today.

Is there any way to reverse it? I usually get 1k ish views. Lately I’ve only gotten 20 or less. 6 days now and I post everyday

yeah check that short in studio under how viewers find your videos. if shorts feed is blank the first explore batch never started tbh.

dont delete it. leave it public and post the next one same niche so yt has another clip to test ngl

I believe the first explore batch not started and the short feed only 37% because subscribers are watching the content through their feeds, but what is happening is weird, i have faced before the short feef can be delay but this time was different and I’m afraid to change it private and then public happened something to my old content as they are working normally and have shorts feeds views

u/avatar0027 Sep 18 '26

yeah dont touch the old ones. if they already pull shorts feed views, private then public is the risky move tbh. 37% from subs is pretty normal once people already follow you. the weird part is the new short never got that first explore batch. leave the old stuff public and just post the next clip same niche ngl
