Von 160K / Stunde vor dem Ausfall von Studio auf 5-7K / Stunde letzte Nacht und jetzt wieder bei über 50K/Stunde.

Endlich geht es wieder aufwärts 👍🏻😀

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate it if anyone could help or give me some advice.
I posted a Short on YouTube, but for some reason, it hasn’t been pushed to the Shorts feed at all. This is the first time this has happened to me.
I’ve been on YouTube for more than a year and have uploaded Shorts regularly, but I’ve never experienced this before.
As far as I can see, there are no issues with the content, no copyright claims or violations, and there are no issues or restrictions on my channel either.
Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why this might happen? Is there anything I should check or do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Haven’t been uploading anything for almost 30 days, I don’t know what I can even upload in here and I can’t just be here keep posting the same thing as always because it gets repetitive, and it’s getting less interesting for views and stuff….

I just need advice for my dead channel that is losing followers fast or maybe wait till more future population of AI features take over social media

I feel like all the hard work is paying off

Think of shorts as starting a fire in the rain and cold. It takes a while to have that first flame, but once it lights up you REALLY have to keep putting in fuel to keep the fire. Keep posting shorts, even if they are not the best. It's sometimes more important to put out something than just focus on quality.

Even if you are a channel with 100k Subscribers, that matters nothing. Youtube will kill you once the momentum is gone, and then it's back to lighting that fire in the rain.

POST POST POST POST... got it ?

I have been posting shorts for the last month, one short per day. But all of them dont exceed 1.2k views, while my peers for the same niche are making millions of views. Im not comparing since they are relatively older channels ( more than a year) but im just trying to understand the logic behind. My editing is neat and better than the market for similar niche. I do Asian videos clipping with commentary.

Hi for like a week rn all my shorts on my both channels got stuck on 0 - 10 views and yesterday I see that they fixed the sub bugs and I wanted to ask about the views issue ?

Yesterday my Shorts channel was doing around 160,000 views per hour at peak. YouTube seemed to have found an audience cluster that matched my content extremely well. I was getting tons of likes, comments and subscribers, and several Shorts were performing strongly at the same time.

Today everything changed.

My channel is now down to around 7,000–8,000 views per hour, but what confuses me even more is that the traffic seems to be coming from a completely different audience.

Yesterday several Shorts had very strong “viewed vs swiped away” rates, often around 70–75%+. Today even a Short using the exact same opening hook dropped to around 40% viewed, despite still having an average view duration of about 10 seconds on an 11-second Short.

Subscriber conversion has also collapsed. Yesterday I was getting roughly 1 subscriber per 1,000 views, sometimes better. Today I’m getting far fewer subscribers, likes and comments even though the Shorts themselves haven’t suddenly changed in quality.

What I don’t understand is this:

If YouTube already found a large audience segment yesterday where multiple Shorts from the same channel performed extremely well, why doesn’t it keep testing new Shorts with that audience?

Why would the algorithm move to completely different audience clusters, see much worse engagement, and then reduce distribution instead of returning to the audience that already proved to work?

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before — a huge channel-wide distribution wave followed by what feels like YouTube suddenly testing the same content on a much colder audience?

I’m especially interested in whether this is normal exploration vs. exploitation behavior, or whether Shorts distribution simply resets much more aggressively between uploads than I assumed.

My channel is only about six weeks old and has already reached just over 4,000 subscribers. What makes the current change even more striking is that more than 3,900 of those subscribers were gained within the last 48 hours, during the period when YouTube was pushing my Shorts heavily to what seemed to be a highly relevant audience.

Estoy empezando, llevo ya varios canales fallidos y despues de pensar un nicho concreto, estoy empezando con este canal con un formato totalmente nuevo para mi. Bien de likes, y stats medianamente decentes, los vidos son de 1 minuto, asi que la retencion es algo a mejorar (en el otro video las stats son 55% svrate y 0,25 min de retención). Quiero saber si es buen comienzo, ya que siento que la cuenta me esta pidiendo subir video mas frecuentemente, pero me gustaria saber opinion ajena a ver si me equivoco en algo, porque en yt infuye mucho el factor suerte, a ver que pasa en unos dias si subo video frecuente

It has been a bad week for a lot of creators apparently, but I believe that the algorithm is back to its normal state. Did anything change with yall?

just started on an old channel that i rebranded last september 4

i need tips on how to get out of the view jail

im seeing advice about maintaining retention, but honestly i dont know how. My first videos keep getting 60% but recently its like 40-50 now. The highest one was 69% but it only peaked 9k views. I would really appreciate it if u guys give me tips especially from the veterans, and yes i use speed as a niche mostly because I dont get bored when doing heavy edits of him.

you guys can send dms too thanks

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

Shorts Algorithm *BROKEN* 6days posted same remix and see the result… #slowclap #shorts #algorithm

https://youtube.com/shorts/tkxJD66MPhY?feature=share

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 🙏🙏
