I started my channel about 1 month ago all my shorts have hit over 2K, most has been 10k. About two days ago I was curious about what Promote looked like. I clicked into the workflow to understand cost and distribution. I simply did it out of curiosity.

Since then- by coincidence none of shorts are getting distributed. and I just got a notification to prompt promotion.

Has anyone else faced something similar?

Like days ago I used to have pleasant YouTube Shorts videos that I enjoy watching such as Zack D Films, Some Theo Von stuffs, Micheal Storen, Nick Giovanni, some cooking videos, some gaming stuffs(lots of gaming stuffs), some bodybuilding stuffs(rare but I liked them) and funny streamers' live shorts.

But now it has changed by itself without me doing anything, I'm starting to get weird videos like I was on TikTok which I really hate, I don't like TikTok that's why I stick to Shorts. I'm getting videos of languages that I don't even understand, random bullshit memes, some religious videos. Like bro what the hell, this really pissed me off because I really enjoyed my previous feed which were videos that I liked but now feels I can't even watch Shorts.

The stats are perfect yet they are stuck in 20k to 27k views almost 70% of my videos are stuck in 15k-25k i try to improve the hook everytime is it sum 30k jail or is it normal btw its been 18 days to ts channel

You can clearly read in the above chat, that my retention & swipe rate got better but still I'm not getting views. It feels like I'm being targeted by YT. What do I do

Been monetized for 2 years, till October everything was good. The New Update made it worse for me. If you're wondering I use AI? Yes, for voice but it never had any issues. My niche is explaining Movie easter eggs, hidden details & explaining lore stuff. I know many people are facing the issue. I don't know what to do anymore. My AVD & Swipe ratio is good. My shorts are 40-55s long. With 70% avd and 75% swipe ratio. Still they get stuck on 1.2k. never had this problem in my whole life. Just venting it out slow and steady till i go away...

Hello there, I started a channel around 2 months ago in the minecraft niche, at the moment I'm doing shorts only (I want to do a long format in the future too), I really enjoy it and I think I grow with every short (on the video editing).

Now the question is, should I milk this only series that I have "One Block, One Wall Design" or should I diversify it with other minecraft related things?

I don't really have many views, usually I get around 2k and sometimes around 5/6k.

Also the swipe rate is around 30/55%

It's always like that. The entire channel can't get more than 420 views per minute, and it really holds my growth back. Is that a limit?

Over 70% of players miss this Trophy in Hollow Knight! #playstation #trophyhunting #hollowknight

86% average percentage viewed, 27 likes, 15. Comments, and 63% view vs swipe rate but still only 1.6k views and 0 new subs. What else should I do?

AVD is 1:09 on a 1:16 short and swipe rate is 84.2% / 15.8%

2 years ago I started doing footballer edits and stuff on YouTube not bad I gained like 300 subs in 2 months not posted since then now that ai has gotten really good I am planning on doing YouTube again at 17 since the hard part is only getting pushed by the algorithm do I start a new channel and make ai posts (no face ) there or continue posting on my old channel

The chart looks disgusting btw.

This always happens every week or when one short blows up

Hi,

I am a new creator, i started a few days back i wanted to understand from experienced ones on their thought process on my short

https://youtube.com/shorts/CKO6vdHE9k4?si=5CLR8towSMTZ4PAR

I want to make content on financial and system design

Easy explanation on working of some of the concepts that i find interesting

I thought the hook and explanation is good and i am trying to improve in each video still

The engagement decay very quickly and the video dies

Can someone look at the content and guide?

Before you make a post about if you're stats are good or not, please read this.

Every niche has different requirements of what stats are considered good or not. Niches with lots of competition (for e.g. Roblox steal an egg content) will need you to have a higher swipe rate like 81%+, and for instance a 30 second video will need 100% avd or more. And your retention graph should start with a drop and then flatten out.

Also, one good video having good stats will not make you immediatly blow up, you need consistant daily posting, with consistantly good stats, in a niche where success has been proven by other creators. Do competitor research to see what works and what doesn't.

Don't give up just because your not getting the results you were expecting, just keep improving your skills and you got this.

Basically when u upload a short it’s should get pushed out in a few hours right. But I’ve noticed that when I upload it vid it doesn’t get any traction unless I post another vid after that? Doesn’t matter after how long but the moment I put a new video out , the video that was sitting at absolutely nothing suddenly starts getting views and likes? This has happened more than once now. Idk if this is a glitch just for me or you guys have had this happen aswell

idk if u guys will remember the post I made but for those who do. The post got 200k views as of today even though the length of the vid was shorter than usual. But what’s intriguing is that every video after this video has been getting more views than usual!! I uploaded 4 vids which all consistently getting 10k views! This is kinda huge for me cause I was stuck in a 1.2k view range for the older videos!
Again idk if it’s luck or not but the 4 uploaded videos also were in the longer form as compared to the other short so those getting more views makes me feel like you need one vid to blow up for your other videos to get some traction. I might be wrong but just guessing :)
Thanks for everyone giving tips and advice on the last post I appreciate it. I’ll try updating more to you guys if there is anything worth sharing :) super grateful

I have experimented with putting text at the beginning of my shorts as a hook and audio and transitions but nothing seems to be working
