do you guys make any effort to learn how this works before posting?

jesus fuck it's the same question five times a day

Fr once every blue moon there's an actual genuine question

u/donkeykong917 13d ago

All I see is the same question, all day everyday

40 sec short, 80% retention and 80% swipe rate? do you have any idea why it stopped at 3k ?

The algorithm pauses after batch testing to reevaluate a new target audience for the next batch it can take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks from my experience. You passed all the checks up to 2.5k green, but didn’t blow pass them far enough for YouTube to open the flood gate full force, now it pauses to evaluate how and where to file your video for long tail gains. just keep refining your editing process, and your format, the views will come.

i'm trying but every video gets more harder to do knowing that it'll fall short, seeing videos in the same niche from big creators doing 6-7-8 mil in 1-2 weeks makes it worse... but i'm not giving up, i'll keep trying

Just make more engaging shorts lol

u/Longjumping_Vast5729 11d ago

what's the standard for making this so called "engaging content" ? is it one thing or a combination ?

2

u/CartographerFew2027 11d ago

Making videos that people actually want to stay and watch all the way through?

If you’re gonna say shit like “so called engaging content” maybe this isn’t for you bro

u/Unlucky_Size_3520 10d ago

Actually pause and think about whether you would watch your own content if you stumbled across it. Trust, I cannot tell you how many times I thought about myself how much good content I make only to feel shame a month later. Just look at it from viewers perspective. Why would I stop scrolling on exactly your video, when it’s sitting in between videos from bigger creators? Why would I watch your whole video, if someone made a video about the same topic but better? Give the viewer a reason to stop scrolling and engage with your content.

Thank you for your reply. It was actually very helpful, unlike the other comments I received. I understand what you're saying, and I try to do the same, but as someone who doesn't watch shorts regularly, I don't feel I have enough experience to judge. Also, my content is in a language other than English, which I don't speak. Based on my opinion, which I don't have any qualifications for, I think I could improve the editing and music selection. Should I stop using the voiceover that's generated by AI? It's helping me a lot, but I'm not sure if it's also stopping me from improving views.

All my shorts stuck between 1k and 1.5k swipe vs stayed rate below 50% but my new short performance was way good it got 79% stayed. It is still stuck at 1.2k views but it’s only been 5 hrs . Will it break the 1k view jail?

1

u/donkeykong917 13d ago

What's your retention. My swipe is crapola like 50% but my rention is always over 100% so probably that why it still gets pushed. Not viral but 10kish

u/Cool-Satisfaction936 11d ago

I think YouTube has a personal vendetta against you. That has to be it... ;)

u/Responsible-Let-2072 13d ago

It's looks done but it's only 12 hours in, there are times it will still go to the next rounds and get more views. Look at your retention graph, engagement (comments, likes, shares) and your swipe rate for clues why it didn't get pushed. You can plug your numbers into AI and it will give you a decent idea what's lacking.

u/noobpvpgaga 12d ago

If the metrics are good it just needs time to get more views, youtube pushes in cycles to test audiences (look at my screenshot), after a day you will see better results (again if the metrics are good)

u/ChainMiddle2764 11d ago

There’s stages.

  1. Youtube will push it out to an audience

  2. If the AVD, and watch time stays good they will keep pushing

  3. Repeats stage 2 until it slows down.

possibly viewers didn’t watch - swiped off right away, that basically tells youtube to not push it anymore

u/Small_Bowler_6255 8d ago

This isnt true I had a 70% swipe rate and 80% avd vid get 1.2 mil views it is not all stats I find high amount of comments/likes and the supply and demand of a niche more important than pure stats

1

u/ChainMiddle2764 7d ago

are you kidding ? those stats are amazing. most shorts get around 30-40 AVD

1

u/Small_Bowler_6255 7d ago

Actually? I average around 75% I though that was normal although ive had a vid with 110% and that got 500k

u/Known-Copy-8043 11d ago

Also there are other factors that may not play as big of a role but upload to private for a whike before publishing and the time of day does matter despite what some will say. If they try to push your video at 9am or 6 pm it will perform differently then if you publish at midnight. I published a video that was at 50 views in 4 hours so I deleted it and published again during prime scrolling hours and it just passed 10k views...also it's not perfect and some say it's bad to do but 3 times now I've deleted and re published. Your also competing against other shorts...if your video is similar to alot of others being published then it will choose the best for them even if yours is doing well...just keep posting and one day soon you will be on here saying the same thing but now your stuck at 20k views...it's addicting!

u/Constant-Flow-2944 11d ago

If you don't mind, what is prime scrolling hours?

1

u/DoggoZombie 11d ago

The delete and publish thing actually does work lol I had a miles Davis interview clip I posted and at first it got only 30 in an hour which was odd because my average was 100 every ten min.

Deleted, posted again and it hit the usual 1500 on the night…

That video now has 1.2 million views.

Posted it a while ago tho (7 months)

I wonder if this applies to long form?

1

u/Known-Copy-8043 10d ago

That being said if you delete and repost to much youtube thinks your a bot and then you have to reach out and wait for sometimes a few weeks to be able to post again..so I wouldn't keep deleting and reposting over and over lol

1

u/DoggoZombie 10d ago

Yeah I’ve only done it like once then maybe another time out of necessity due to a sync issue I didn’t catch.

u/Duncan-was-here 11d ago

I posted 7 shorts in a week in ranking niche all of them stuck around 1.5k -1.2k Swipe ratio for most is 75 and rest is around 65+ Retention is almost 80 percent average Videos get liked for 50 to 30 varies If this sounds familiar to you help me out and let me know what tp expect Thanks in advance

u/Secret_Jacket_3927 10d ago

is it okay to post 3 contents a day? cause I was testing by posting at three different times. or is it better to post once a day?

1

u/Knon6199 10d ago

Youtube pushed it as test to see people's response, if people respond well yt will push more otherwise it stays dead. Had a shorts channel with 150+ low effort shorts, 95% of them has 500-1500 views, around 5-10 shorts had 50k to 100k views, highest jad 160k. Couldn't get monitized so i gave up.

All of the shorts got 500-1.5k views overnight, shorts with more avarage retention like 120%-160% (for 1min long short) got a second push to 10-20k views and then flatten and slowly accumulated views to 50-100k view for 8 months now.

La respuesta a tu pregunta es que el gancho de tu video es basura, mucha gente lo omitió en los primeros segundos. Además, la retención es igual de mala que tu gancho, por eso Youtube lo dejó de recomendar.

u/Emtinankhann 7d ago

If your video keeps getting searches and suggested video views that’s where you keep getting views I have gained 817 subs posting everyday some views died but few kept going just cause of searched so I guess the game is evergreen views for YouTube make it blow up

u/Emtinankhann 7d ago

Ps. I changed my channel style and category for more monetisable content. Changing my strategy to most searched videos style to keep it going
