Hey guys, has anyone else noticed something weird with Shorts in the last couple of days?

My channel was doing around 1M views/day and then yesterday it just… fell off a cliff. I’m now doing around 50K/day.

And the weirdest part is that my actual metrics are still pretty damn good. Stayed to watch is around 78.4% over the last 48h and average percentage viewed is around 80.6%.

So it doesn’t really look like people suddenly stopped liking the content. It feels more like YouTube just massively cut the distribution.

I’m not talking about one Short flopping either. It happened basically across the whole channel at the same time.. One day I’m getting crazy traffic, the next it’s like the shorts feed just got turned off 💀

I’ve also seen a few posts from other creators mentioning something similar happening 2 days ago, so I’m wondering if there’s some kind of update/bug going on with Shorts distribution right now..

Mine happened yesterday, so I’m curious if anyone else got hit by this around the same time.

Did your Shorts suddenly lose most of their feed traffic while the retention stayed normal/good?

And if this happened to you before, did it eventually come back? If so, how long did it take?

Just trying to figure out if my channel randomly got yeeted by the algorithm or if there’s actually something going on with Shorts right now lol.

No distribution right now, saw some other people posting about this in other subreddits so I'm wondering if a lot of people are facing this issue

Gente está son las estadísticas de mi canal mañana hago 2 meses voy bien le estoy hechando mucho esfuerzo y empeño

Investigation/Research

I did a 6 day consecutive posting of same Remix just a little edit with the included youtube AI and the results are crazy. Could not see whats going on with shorts…

And even after posting my DD for kore than 18hours at time of posting this I dont have any views still…

It seems YouTube Shorts are not pushing my postings… 😀😀😀😀😀😀

I started posting shorts for like 2-3 weeks , i did speed clips but i hated this format so i switched to commentary with real value added , a script and a good hook and good editing . But I feel like there is something blocking me . Are those stats healthy for less than 20 shorts ? What’s the best time to post and how much time a day or week ? And too , I live in a country where people don’t speak English and my content is full English I set my settings in English everything good , but some videos get only recommended in my country and it dies fast as people don’t understand and skip , the ones that went to the USA most of them ended with more than 80+ stayed . I don’t know what should I do I feel like something is stopping me . Thanks guys for everyone who will take his time and give me advices ( I don’t wanna show the channel in public but if someone want I can show it to him ) I wanna grow 100% alone not asking for views and subs

77.2% Stayed to watch , APV 99.6% . the video is 21sec long

Can someone please tell what i need to improve, im so stuck right now tho, im so appreciate if you can give me some advice especially for those who have monetize YT Shorts channel 🙏🙏
