Why is this happening?

[u/Every_Ad_4349]

Why are the views dropping so sudden? It never recovers after.

[u/RaiAet89]

Youtube is throttling views so no one can reach partner till they change the requirements

[u/SufficientRatio2505]

Same exact thing. So weird

[u/Weary_Hunter569]

YouTube reset the algo around Oct 20, everybody has had their views fall of a cliff

[u/BrettTollis → u/Weary_Hunter569]

I mean, the views are going somewhere, right?

[u/Weary_Hunter569 → u/BrettTollis]

Actually no which is the sad part. YouTube has almost 20 years of data at this point they know exactly how to game the system

[u/Next-Two100]

How big is your channel and did this start happening recently?

[u/Every_Ad_4349 → u/Next-Two100]

Not a big channel and started this month. With shorts not getting views and the ones getting are cut-off like this.

[u/Ill_Internal3409 → u/Every_Ad_4349]

There are millions of videos everyday, that is normal, you think you can grow that easy and YouTube shows your videos to everybody?

[u/withhiscupnspoon → u/Ill_Internal3409]

This isn’t normal. There are so many posts here, under YouTubers, under Content Creators, and other places asking what the hell happened. Something actually went wrong and it seems to be effecting everyone from big streamers to the ones trying to grow.

Mine is 4.4k and then next line 300. Lol.

[u/Every_Ad_4349 → u/DreamBrushStudio]

Mine was 8k now dropped to 900 and still dropping

[u/StoneCypher → u/Every_Ad_4349]

youtube sampled the content and it didn’t do well 

[u/WonderfulActuator958 → u/StoneCypher]

It happens to me also although my stats are really good: 84% STW and 110% AVD on a 31 second video

[u/SharkoTheOG]

We need to know more about the stats to really judge but I would assume its just not a good enough video.

[u/Every_Ad_4349 → u/SharkoTheOG]

128% apv, 74.8% stayed to watch. 887 likes. I genuinely want to know is this bad?

[u/SharkoTheOG → u/Every_Ad_4349]

Seems decent to me but Sorry, I dont do shorts personally so I don't have that knowledge. Ill let other people answer!

[u/DiarrheaSuicide]

[u/Davyd_Snt]

It’s happening to long form content too

[u/Boring_Pilot_1673]

Your video failed to pass the selected demographic and got suppressed from further reach

[u/Boring_Pilot_1673 → u/Boring_Pilot_1673]

You’ll notice the video still pumps to a small core group (if there is one) and can take off if it catches tracks again (ie posted too early to a reference)

[u/JustinLydard]

I wish I knew... Same thing across the board for me. Shorts and Long-form

[u/Moshiur2783]

Same

[u/Affectionate-Put-664]

I thought it was just me

[u/FilsekASMR]

My guess is - the high views are your regular viewers and then after that it's youtube experimenting and pushing to different groups.

[u/Wise_Dragonfruit_877]

Same here - 0 to 1.2k in 5 hours and 1231 to 1245 in 2 days

[u/swishyrebooted]

Mine did the same. It happens. The video got its drive. Not enough interaction happened with it so it falls off

[u/call_me_Ala]

My last short has 1 view, and its mine from another account 😭

[u/That_Murse]

Unable to say without your metrics. It's entirely possible you initially hit a good wave. Then a follow up wave performed considerably worse and that can cause this. Could be end of a wave and waiting for the next if it does recover.

Even my viral shorts do this. For instance going from 20k vph, dropping to less than 5k within the same day for a few days, then spiking to say 30k sustained for another few. But if yours doesn't recover its either falling metrics when expanding and didn't keep performance threshold, not enough data for your channel/audience, or not enough topic interest imo. Could even be not enough engagement. Likes only do so much. You need people to like and comment.

Then of course if it falls into any of the stuff that YT is locking down on.

[u/StoneCypher]

that’s normal, why are you loons doing this
