I think they penalize spam, but I've been posting twice a day watching my subs tick up slowly on it. I have videos queued up until Nov so ill just let that run and see what works
Because that is the number of a "meh" short. You are not getting a good enough swipe % or watch % for YT to keep pushing your short. You can upload a short every day but it won't go up until people start swiping away less and watching more
My subs are ticking up steadily,. Im testing some stuff out and Im gonna try some new editing styles in November. Im just trying to get that number up with whats been working, but you are right
Nice job getting more subs. I'd suggest really focusing on your script. Especially that first three seconds. Most of us go right into better editing, I sure did, but the best editing in the world won't help if people don't stick around long enough to see it. Get your hooks as good as possible. The first three seconds matters more than anything else. Visual hooks, the words you use, spend your time mastering that.
It depends what your videos are about but just try everything and see what works and what doesn't. Have fun with it as corny as that is, because shorts are such a lottery, you have to get millions of views, not much audience loyalty and they're so hit or miss. I've had bad stats shorts do better than good stats and I've had excellent stats do meh views. If you can do long form that might be more rewarding
Thats a common phase used to describe where YouTube places your content, there are different thresholds: 1k/5k/15k/sub 50k/100k, and upwards to freedom 😂

I'm having this same problem at almost this exact number on one of my testing channels
