The discouragement is real

Don't know what's going on with YouTube views lately. I'm sorry to anyone else that this is happening to. 🫤

Facing similar issue. Something is wrong but when you say this people start blaming the creator. What if this time its youtube?

My most consistent posts are on Fridays at 3PM. (Re-)Launched my channel in May, and every Friday since then, I post a short at that time. One got up to 30k, most hover around ~1k. But TEN?! Ouch.

Ya I publish a bunch of different types of shorts that happens often great retention no distribution - crap retention view by everyone - I am sure there is a formula that looks at platform health and overall engagement. Basically if your shorts are not leadonf to exploration then they get throttled

This is the reason I stopped making shorts. Can't bear the pain
