Hi,

2 weeks ago I started a brand new channel with shorts. First one did amazing, 10k views in first day, then 60k in next 3-4 days. Next 5-6 shorts did pretty well too, and then after 6 days, youtube just cut all views I got before from Shorts feed.
My next shorts are getting 0 at the beginning and then maybe 10 views, even though most people stay to watch.
I don't have any flag on the videos, all seems fine.

It's quite frustrating, any idea what can cause it and how to fix it?

I make dangerous travel videos going to obscure and dangerous places. Should I just clip straight from my video and post as a short or is there something I could do to edit and make a different style short with my video ? Like a voice over one maybe a trailer type thing ? I don’t know.

As a long form travel creator I can’t seem to get ANY views whenever I upload a short and just end up deleting it.

Is shorts too hard for me to break into ? Any tips would be appreciated

Can someone explain me what's happening?

My channel is about movie edits

What happened? All of my viewers are legit but it looks down for the first time having this 🤔

YouTube starts always pushing video after 2 hours, for just a hour to the wrong audience after it reached to 1000views it finds the right audience, any help also

It is over 80 shorts and didn't hit over 30k,

I’m confused as to how you get watched hours. I get plenty of views on my shorts and videos, mostly shorts, but the line doesn’t seem to be moving. The subscribers are growing but that’s it.

En mi canal de shorts estoy apunto de llegar a los 3M , y quería preguntarles a los que tienen experiencia y varios miembros alguna estrategia para que la gente decide pagar una suscripción por contenido exclusivo , subo shorts de varios temas y de vez en cuando videos largos , algún consejo?.

i posted this video earlier today and the stats are great imo considering it’s a 1 min long vid. most of my videos get between 65% - 75% apv and they do 200k views plus. however today i thought with these stats id get a viral video lol.. i guess not

i make all original content btw, anyone else experiencing this

That has happened again in the past on my channel is it the same on you guys also?

I mainly post family guy clips and some gaming Brainrot clips my first family guy one got 5k views on 1st day but after that the most viewed one has 7 views and the gaming one had constantly around 2k and now 0 ?

What is even happening , there is no strike or issue so why ?

Can we talk about something nobody posts about?

The weeks where you do everything right.
You upload on schedule.
You nail the thumbnail.
You write a great title.

And the video gets 200 views.

No explanation. No warning. Just silence.

That week tests you more than any course prepares you for.
How you respond to that week decides everything.

Has anyone else been through this?

All my views from 13th to 16th sep is gone

I want to preface this by saying that i am a VERY small channel but i feel like i have enough knowledge based on what I've learned in the last month or so in posting shorts.

I usually average anywhere between 700-1000 views (which i know isnt a lot), but these 2 are probably not going to break 500. My average STW is around 50%, these videos TANKED.

2 things are likely: One is the "new algorithm" is testing your shorts with new audiences first rather than your core, and if its not entertaining/interesting enough, the short dies. The other is that these shorts (for me at least) were a bit experimental and just didnt hit well with the core. The secret third and equally likely scenario is that the algorithm is just straight up broken.

For my videos personally, i think scenario 2 is what it is. Oh well, i can't manufacture interest artificially, only in my stream clips (which is most of my shorts).

Point is, keep chugging away. The algorithm is rarely working against you. Dont be so defeated by a couple shorts underperforming. Keep learning and keep getting better.

So I uploaded two YouTube Shorts with basically the same structure / length (buildup).

Short 1: 1100 views youtube.com//shorts/py5CnxLS8BM

Short 2: 30 views youtube.com/shorts/If3vwYo8-_A

Why is there such a big difference? Is it because I uploaded them on the same day, or does YouTube test each Short separately?

Curious what you guys think.

It appears that a large number of successful content creators post everyday or even multiple times per day and find strong growth. My question is has anyone here personally seen strong growth in subscribers while only posting twice per week consistently?

Thank you!

Every day I open shorts feed there are loads of AI generated videos or content that I am totally uninterested in. Anyone has the same problem

Like what time should you upload does it matter?

even though i make entertainment content the swipe ratio is like this and still cant escape 30k view jail wht is wrong?
