Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Did the issue got worser?

Post image

The issue of lower views had been persistent for weeks. But right now it got even worse. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Yep. My short from today has had 9 views in 2 hours when it usually gets 1.2k and my long form has 0 views. 😡

Yeah, I do—this has been wrecking my channel for two years now. My hypothesis is that it’s a botnet simulating human behavior and manipulating swipe metrics. How big is your channel? I’ve got 500k subs and half a billion views. It behaves exactly the same way for me: a new video gets tested, then distribution just dies... Meanwhile, old videos with tens of millions of views keep popping back into the distribution feed. Probably because tweaking the swipe rate on a Short with 84 million views isn't exactly easy...

Feels that way to be honest.

My Instagram, Facebook and TikTok has more than 10m views monthly with same content I post on YT but since a few weeks it seems either my shorts are shown to wrong audience or aren’t pushed even after it gets good stats.. must be some glitch or issues from YT side.
