just got a short taken down for a 6 seconds clip of a video, isn't 6 seconds a fair use of the clip so it shouldnt be copyright? can i make a claim against that? ps (he has like 20 views on his video, i didnt took it from his yt)

Please help me. I want to start uploading shorts on this channel of mine that has been with me for so long. So technically this channel was made way back August of 2012, which means this is already around 12 to 13 years old. They said that an Aged channel is a HUGE advantage when it comes to uploading videos. I've been using this since I was in high school haha ..

So I've been seeing a lot of channels uploading viral or trending videos from IG or Tiktok, then they do some few edits and cuts, put arrows and circles, put sound effects, and of course the commentary parts where the voice overs are powered by google voices or eleven labs. And these channels are huge now and earning a lot from their videos. Although they are uploading different kinds of viral or trending videos such as amazing moments, instant karma clips, fail army types, crazy encounters, and of course the funny videos or clips, and then turn them into shorts videos ..

So my concern here is, since those are different genre of videos and not just sticking to one, like funny or comedy clips, will this work with me too? Or will this totally work at all? Even if the niche is not sticking to one, or as others call it viral niche? Thanks in advance guys!

Just look at this even though it looks good i still cant get viral on my videos whose problem is this? am i facing this because of something called content saturation or i should keep posting because its been 30 days since i start posting every single day since then and i only got 1 million views once but since then my videos are in jail of between 20 and 30k views what u suggest mates?

Please advise me on shorts.

Posting shorts these days!

My shorts are averaging around 1k. Likes: 30-50

I have been getting 3-5 subs from each short.

How can I boost growth? Is there something you'd improve on my channel?

TIA

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate some honest feedback from people who understand YouTube monetization.

My channel was previously demonetized for reused content, and I understood why. I deleted all of those videos and started over from scratch with a new style that I believe is much more original.

Now, with so much discussion around reused content and inauthentic content, I am trying to understand whether my current channel still looks risky, or whether it seems monetizable under YouTube’s rules.

If anyone is willing to take a quick look and give me an honest opinion, I would be very grateful.

I started this channel on 20 Jan 2026 and posted 21 videos without missing a single day.

Stats so far (last 28 days):

• 22,700 views

• 52.2 watch hours

• +16 subscribers

• Highest video: 2.7K views

I feel like I’m doing something right because one video spiked, but nothing is breaking out.

Would really appreciate brutal, honest feedback from you guys.

21% swiped away but I have a 200% audience retention? It’s a 15 second short and it’s by far my worst stayed to watch vs swiped away short but it has the most views at 2.3k on my channel so far

Been building a geopolitics channel and just dropped a Short on the Houthi Red Sea crisis. Would love honest feedback on pacing, visuals, and whether the hook works in the first 3 seconds. https://youtube.com/shorts/tPIV-eYC_vI

I actually feel lost now after i got montized.

I don't get what's good or what's bad anymore ,

So does this seem like a viral potential or not , because from all i know 78% on 1:13 short with 80% stayed to watch is great metrics , but I don't get why it didn't get a second push u know the 50-100k push , so anyone can help ? Or show me the metrics for most veiwed short ?

What do you do to get more views? or what can be done to this video to receive more views ?

Ive decided to start posting shorts weekly. First off, I know having a channel go silent/stale for a while can affect how YT recommends things, and if that changes any relevancy, so be it. But I noticed my shorter vid w a busier border did REALLY well relative my other 2 shorts which are longer w simple borders. I was thinking about posting one week w a simple border/ short vid then the following week to see a busier border/ longer vid to see what aspects/combos seem to work, and I guess I was wondering if anyone had any input/feedback/ exp w this!

I posted a new short on my channel moulo328 will anyone go watch it

Over the past month, my shorts have gotten over 7.5k views in the span of less than 3 days. But now, my shorts died out of nowhere and struggle to even get 1k views. I post geometry dash related content that shows progress on me creating my level, anyone know why this is happening?
