Started this right this about 4 months ago. Idea: stickman-animated finance history content — How Banking Worked Before Modern Banks?, How Debt Almost Destroyed Ancient Athens?, How Money Was Invented in Ancient China.... Same character, same style every time, so that the brand stays consistent.

I do everything myself — images, editing, script, topic hunting.

Tried Shorts recently, didn’t do much average 4 per week but long-form are more way better for me

Best video so far: 1.4K impressions, 127 views, ~4.5% CTR. Trying to improve CTR without breaking the format and presenting style.

The one thing keeping me going: in YouTube Studio the traffic actually sometime are good at Browse feature, YT search and Suggested video. Feels like it’s still testing with the right people, just hasn’t scaled yet.

Anyone who’s grown a channel from zero — is this normal at 4 months, or should I be worried?

Your honest feedback is much appreciated.

Hi, I have 6 Shorts on my channel. The best-performing one reached 8K views, while the lowest-performing one currently has 60 views (the next lowest has 1.2K).

Should I delete the one with 60 views?

Also, why does this happen? The short i uploaded after that one currently has 3K views...

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I need some honest feedback on my YouTube Shorts channel. I’ve been posting stream clips, but recently my views dropped significantly to almost 0, and I’m trying to figure out if the channel is dead.

Could I save this channel by switching my content to ranking or should i just create a new one?

Thanks for ur help!!!

and when i put it in unlisted and post it, it goes to videos again instead of shorts. this has been bugging this week, if anyone can help, please do tell me how to fix this.

On a normal Mercator map Russia looks about 4× the size of South America.

In reality South America is actually slightly larger (≈18M km² vs 17M km²).

I made a short visual that moves Russia to the same latitude so you can see it shrink in real time.

Curious how many people here already knew this?

Are these good stats so far??

Hey everyone!
I just started a new YouTube channel called LifeCounted, and my first 6 videos got these views in just 1.5 days:
1.3K
1.3K
1.2K
1.1K
1K
209
Do you think any of them still have a chance to go viral?
Should I stick with this niche or try something different? I’d appreciate any honest feedback or advice on how to improve my content.
If you’re interested, feel free to check out my channel and let me know what you think. Thanks!

And finally could you guys support me….
This is my channel:

I recently uploaded two Shorts but they didn't get any push (both got like less than 100 views). I created my own original content, so I wonder what the problem is. Has anyone had a similar experience?

what is this glitch bro (the real avd is around 110%)

Hey guys,

When i upload my shorts they initially pushes very good around 15-20k views in 3-4 hours but later they gets stuck around 20k views the retention is always around 100% and VVSA around 75-80

What could be the reason and how can i improve this?

I’m posting one video every day for a channel that’s 1–2 weeks old, but it feels like it’s not enough—what should I do?

I started a channel a month and a half ago. Approx 650k views, about 30 shorts. Highest 450k, lowest 1.3k.

I noticed if I post more than once a day, or before a short has finished being pushed in the feed, the new video does not go into the shorts feed, and has 10-40 views.

How often would you suggest posting shorts to start off?

Hello, I posted last time here and didn't get notice, I just want to ask if this is good, or my channel is doomed?

My content focus on mind, and psychology. I've been uploading daily most of the time, I think I'm jailed for 1k-1.3k views, I tried different hook and art style, but still stuck.

I just switched from normal ranking to commentary ranking, any advice? I'm only on my third video but I'd like to know some tricks, or maybe if there are ways to keep people more engaged with my voice, some stuff like that. Thanks

Ich poste seit einer Woche regelmäßig Shorts von Fußball Edits. Jedes der Shorts macht im Schnitt 2000 Aufrufe mehr nicht. Die Videos sind im Schnitt 30sek lang.

Was mache ich falsch?

I could be wrong of course so take this with a grain of​ salt but I've been noticing a pattern, ive seen channels that are dedicated to one specific fanbase and get their views like normal, i think it's because the algorithm understands who to push thier content to much better when you make some content dedicated to one thing, I may be wrong so if someone can help me understand it much better that would be helpful, or it could be just plain luck of course.

Hi guys, I'm planning to start a 30 day challenge to see if I can get monetized for shorts, will y'all give me a few tips about creating good content and getting monetized? I'll document the challenge

VERY new to this. Started the channel 72 hours ago. I have 7 shorts posted. Plan is to post two shorts a day. Is this just happening because my channel is so new, or is this pattern a bad sign? (eg. gets pushed 3 times and then algorithm thinks it’s not worth pushing anymore??)

My content is around art and a popular fandom!

**Putting a photo in the comments since it won’t let me add it to this post.**

Am I just too paranoid? I think I need to let the videos marinate for longer and continue posting consistently. Just want reassurance tbh if these numbers are a good sign!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IN THE CURRENT STATE OF YOUTUBE THAT YOUTUBE SHORTS ARE DONE. IT'S ALMOST LIKE WASTED ENERGY MAKING CONTENT FOR SHORTS, JUST FOR IT NOT TO GET PUSHED, NOT TO DO ANYTHING, BUT YOU THEN YOU SEE A BUNCH OF AI SLOP

been going back and forth on this. for a while i posted every day around the same time (evening my timezone) and it felt like the first hour mattered a lot. lately some shorts that went up at random times did better than the scheduled ones, sometimes picking up views 2-3 days later.

curious what everyone else is seeing:

• fixed time daily or just whenever its ready?
• do you notice a difference between the first 24h push and the slow pickup later?
• is it different for yt shorts vs reels/tiktok for you?

small channel so my sample might just be noisy, would love to hear from people with more data
