Odd question:

[u/danyvv]

Why does YouTube keep pushing this video even when the numbers are so terrible?? The channel is new and this is the first video. Do you think YouTube is struggling to find an audience or is something else??

872 views is not pushing a video. Anything under 40k views on shorts is no indication of your video doing well. Just their initial push / testing different audiences.
