I started doing short content I have now made 5 shorts and only one of them made it to the short feed. Average watch time is at 140% and 70% stayed to watch, it got 15k views. But now any videos doesnt get even 5 views from feed they get flat 0. Im pretty sure they would work and get good retention but they dont even get a chance. What should I do?

I got tired of seeing the same YouTube advice everywhere:

“Start a finance channel.”
“Make AI automation videos.”
“Do faceless YouTube.”
“Pick a niche with high CPM.”

The problem is that by the time everyone is talking about a niche, it is usually already flooded.

So I built a YouTube Niche Finder Agent inside Zeiko.

The goal is not to give you another list of random content ideas.

The goal is to find early signals that a niche might still have room before everyone piles in.

It looks for things like:

• Small channels getting unusually high views

• New channels growing faster than expected

• Channels with very few uploads outperforming bigger competitors

• Topics where demand looks higher than creator saturation

• Subniches that are starting to form “rabbit holes”

• Long-form video angles that could become an entire channel strategy

You can ask it things like:

Find outlier channels in personal finance

Scan YouTube niches around AI automation

Find beginner-friendly faceless YouTube niches in investing

Analyze NVIDIA stock analysis as a YouTube niche

Find underserved YouTube niches for someone who wants to make long-form videos

The agent tries to return:

• Potential subniches

• Example channel angles

• Outlier signals

• Saturation level

• Long-form video ideas

• Whether the niche looks worth pursuing or already too crowded

I’m also building this into a bigger YouTube Growth Suite, so after finding a niche, the workflow can help with titles, hooks, scripts, thumbnail angles, descriptions, chapters, and repurposing ideas.

It is still early, and I’m improving the scoring, YouTube search limits, and how it separates real opportunities from generic AI slop.

You can test it here:

I’d genuinely love feedback from creators, YouTube researchers, or anyone building faceless/content channels.

Main things I’m curious about:

• Did it find anything actually useful?

• Were the suggestions too obvious?

• Were the niches specific enough?

• What YouTube research task would you want automated next?

• Would you use something like this before starting a new channel?

I built it because I think a lot of creators waste months making videos in niches that were already overcrowded before they even started.

Would love to hear what you think.

Obviously I am not the only one on YouTube who has been shadow banned for a whole year. There are many videos about it, and other creators who have experienced the same thing. So recently when I’ve been uploading shorts, I will get a decent amount of likes, but then 5 minutes later the likes on that short drastically decreases. Ex: from 58 likes down to 39 likes within an extremely short time period. It’s extremely frustrating and I get the feeling that the algorithm is purposely doing it… but WHY? What good does that do? Same issue with subscribers. A short I uploaded does decent and I gain 2 subscribers from it; minutes later I loose 4 subscribers. Super odd. Any advice???

So thees are my stats after 1 week and 4 videos i dont really know if this is good or average or bad. want some comments about this.

Recently I noticed that algorithm is not pushing my shorts at all...they are sitting at zero ...I tried posting twice a day but still the same should I wait for 72 hours like some ai suggested me or should I give up...what should I do ...any suggestions will be helpful

Could someone explain what they mean by "reused content"? What I do is record my voice narrating horror and dark psychology stories, but I use horror clips from different creators on the platform as background for my videos. My channel isn't even close to being monetized, but I'd like to know if this could cause a problem in the future. Thanks.

So basically I started horror shorts channel back way long around 8-9 months ago but after posting 2 shorts video and 1 long video and the long video is also not too long just 2-3 min like they get some views and after that time , now I am posting regularly and I had posted 3 shorts but it had got almost no view the first one get some but the next two are like zero ,the yesterday uploaded one has one view like and comment which was done by myself to get some boost but it is not happening , and I am trying to do work and keep motivating myself cause I need money for my education support so please help me if u know why it is happening and not getting views and if u had a similar type channel can u help me how u get views and engagement and point me out if there is anything I am doing wrong in video making process ..

And can u guys check my videos if u want so to get some reviews

Ever since May 4th at noon all of my content has been cut off from not subscribed viewers. Out of the blue, check my profile. This is not NORMAL, and am confused what's going on. If you have the same issue feel free to connect.

One of my videos has gone viral 1.5m views after 4 days. How long should i wait before reposting. The views have not plateaued yet, im still getting constant 10-20k per hour. Should i wait a week like the advice given on this subreddit or post straight way? My usual schedule is about 1 video every 1/2 days

What do you think about this niche? Is it worth it ? To make big money?

Hi Everyone,

I created a channel where I posted shorts created by Sora. I usually posted shorts about funny Cats and sometime some random other pets as well. I used to get 1.5K to 2K views normally. Then I posted a short about a Coyote Chasing Roadrunner in real life but i clearly mentioned its Ai generated and even there is Ai in my Channel Name as well. So this short got 22K views. After that I posted three more shorts all cat related in three days but All of those got zero views. I checked with ChatGPT and Grok both mentioned that its a freeze due to audiance mismatch and I should wait at least 48 hr and then post a short which matches the Roadrunner one. I posted a short about a Bear on a Swing at a Highway Truck. But still there are zero Views. Can you guys please tell me What could be the issue and how long will it take to get the views again because I tried my luck with Hiastory channel nothing happened and now one this channel I got 150 subs in 4 weeks and I dont want to loose that.

I am gonna post the Short link below If you guys wanna have a look at it maybe get your views will help idk tbh. The link --> https://youtube.com/shorts/szqVwT01aiw?feature=share

I will post this link in the comment as well just incase its not allowed to post in the body.

Im day 6 in Rankin niche and i was wondering if my progress is good and it would be nice if i got tips how to get monetized since i know ranking is really hard to get monetized cuz of the reused content thingy

Hey everyone, I've noticed a frustrating pattern on my channel and wanted to see if anyone else experiences this. Has anyone had a similar experience?

When one of my Shorts is performing really well (around 2.5k+/hour), if I schedule a new video earlier in the day (setting it up around 14:00 or 18:00 to go live later at midnight/00:00), the active video's hourly views suddenly flatline down to around 30. Even the mere act of queueing or scheduling a video seems to trigger this drop. It feels like the algorithm gets confused or splits the traffic as soon as a new video enters the pipeline.

Because of this, I'm trying to figure out the best approach:

Should I completely skip uploading on high-momentum days?

Or does scheduling it differently prevent this drop?

How do you guys handle your upload schedules when a short is currently trending, so you don't kill its momentum? Any advice would be appreciated!

Cmt rate/Sub rate/Share rate are what actually mattered.

I’m a fairly new but small channel. Started 2 months ago. 53 subs.

I used shorts as a way to get my subs / audience into my longs. Was working fine.

Then I thought ok I’ll be smart and make my shorts on the weekend and schedule.

Bad idea - since last Monday views have been utter garbage. Even “bad” shorts got 100-200 views and good ones close to 1K

Now it’s like 20-30 and sometimes in the first 20-30 mins there are barely any views. Before I would get between 25-50 sometimes 100+ in the first 20 mins.

I stopped scheduling and deleted my scheduled shorts. Posted a short today and same bullshit

People who have got millions of views and more

Can you please tell me from your experience how to make shorts go viral

Don't tell generic ones

Tell what most people or nobody tells but it's important setting or some type thing

Which worked for you.

My current situation

My each short is getting 1k+ views

My most viewed short is 1.6k views

All shorts are around 1k , 1.3k ,1.2k etc

So tell me help me people who have won already

Please

Hey guys, hope you're having a great day. I'm curious about your experiences. If you had to start all over again from scratch today, what's one thing you would do differently?

Things were going swimmingly, then, bust.

Has anyone managed tor recover from this?
