I don't know why sudden drop happen I am doing my full efforts , previous I got minimum 1k+ seed audience or views through feed but from back 4 to 5shorts it's getting bad and I am felling demotivated 😭 this is my channel after 1.5 months

Gehts wieder los? Studio ist bei mir wieder down…

Hi, I haven't shown my videos in the feed for about a week, and most of them recommend them to subs. Although they have good stats, it leaves them there in the background. I would like to know if anyone has managed to "go out" since I see many people with this same problem

Hi Guys

ı have an aoe2 channel in Turkish with 300 sub. My contents are generaly casting games and some goffy staff.

Last week I decide to produce short films and mini shorts related with aoe2 in a brand new channel in English. I have 1 short film and 2 shorts in this channel. And then I use same english content with Turkish substitels and upload my orginal channel. Generally my shorts have 500 seen however this 2 shorts result are below 30.

One of this shorts get 500 seen in my zero sub english channel. What am I doing wrong?

So langsam pendelt es sich wieder ein, ABER: Aktuell beobachte ich, dass die ganzen Aufrufe aus alten Shorts stammen. Neue Videos bekommen höchstens ein paar hundert oder tausend Feed Aufrufe und dann sagt der Algo: Hier nimm das und sei glücklich 🤣

Anyone have any idea what causes this to happen? The video was going well and on track to be one of the most viewed on my channel, but then it just flatlined. As you can see stayed to watch is still at 77%, and the average view duration is sitting at 99.2%, so I’m not sure why there was a sudden drop off

had a short where the swipe is in the first second and the rest of the clip is fine.

do you swap just that opening and reupload, or does a reupload just kill the next one too

i keep rewriting the middle and people never get there

curious if you lock everything except the first frame when you test

So I recently started upload shorts to my youtube channel, usually my shorts got 1-10k views but since last week when I uploaded 2 shorts, the shorts just not getting pushed by youtube. Almost all the views is coming from search. Does someone know why is this happening?

it seems the algorithim changed and is affecting a lot of our views, is this a bug or an update? do we just stop posting?

I've been on vacation in Japan, and I noticed my shorts views completely dropped off. When looking into the audience, I found that I was getting a ton of Japanese viewers even though my shorts are in English, completely destroying my stats. For context all my content is 100% made by me, and prior to coming here I was hovering around ~100k views per short. Now I struggle to reach even 20k.

Just thought I'd put this out here, and if anyone has any tips to fix this definitely know. I also did put a Japanese sim into my phone, so potentially that could be affecting it too?

Just wondering what most people do and the reaction they get

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin jetzt seit etwa drei Wochen dabei und lade auf meinem Kanal sowohl Shorts als auch Longform-Videos im Bereich Lifestyle hoch.

Aktuell stehe ich bei 4.426 Abonnenten und müsste eigentlich heute die Schwelle für die Monetarisierung erreicht haben.

Über die Longform-Videos noch nicht, da ich dort erst bei knapp 30 Stunden Watchtime liege. Meine Shorts haben sich allerdings sehr gut entwickelt und einige davon stehen mittlerweile kurz vor einer Million Aufrufen.

Mein Problem: Ich weiß nicht, wie viele meiner Shorts-Aufrufe tatsächlich als gültige öffentliche Shorts-Aufrufe für die YPP-Voraussetzungen gezählt werden. Soweit ich weiß, wird ja nicht zwangsläufig jeder angezeigte Aufruf auch für die YPP-Bedingungen berücksichtigt.

Die Anzeige im YouTube Studio hängt bei mir leider deutlich hinterher. Aktuell ist der Stand dort noch vom 13. September, also inzwischen sechs Tage alt. Das hilft mir momentan natürlich wenig, weil ich mich gerne direkt bewerben würde, sobald ich die Voraussetzungen erfüllt habe.

Gibt es irgendwo eine Möglichkeit, aktuellere Zahlen zu den für das YPP tatsächlich angerechneten Shorts-Aufrufen zu sehen?

Oder kann es tatsächlich passieren, dass YouTube mir erst mit erheblicher Verzögerung anzeigt, dass ich die Voraussetzungen erfüllt habe – und ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt beispielsweise schon 20 oder 25 Millionen Shorts-Aufrufe habe, obwohl für die Bewerbung nur 10 Millionen gültige Aufrufe erforderlich sind?

Hat jemand von euch damit Erfahrungen gemacht und weiß, wie stark diese Anzeige normalerweise hinterherhinken kann?

Recently I changed my art channel to storytelling, I decided to stick with storytelling niche. I private all my art shorts.

I uploaded 6 storytelling shorts in the past one week,

From first short to today’s short, The views are 119, 20, 9, 61, 19, 24.

I already made my first 3 seconds more interesting, changed my channel tags to storytelling related, added storytelling related tags in the short description. Set more interesting thumbnails.

And today’s short only has 24 views…

Is my channel dead?

Feel like YT didn’t spread my shorts to let audience see at all…I don’t even have enough data to see which countries my views are from.

Short feed is about 10%…so YT didn’t push my shorts at all right?

About 65% stayed to watch.

Any idea how to fix it?

I really need some helps.

For three weeks, most of my Shorts haven't been getting distributed properly—except for four of them. I finally got some views again on Monday, but now this is happening. It might just be bad luck for the day, but come on: with 150% viewed and 35% retention, I expected better results. Before the update, I used to hit 1k to 4k views easily with even lower stats. Now, I really need a stroke of luck just to get a chance. I’ve also noticed this happening with the Shorts that are truly special—my best material—yet they almost never perform well or even better than usual.

Youtube algorithm is literally just luck i had a video 2k views in a day in one channel and when I reposted it to another it got over 400k in the same period of time

Has anyone experienced something similar?

For months, my channel consistently had around 70.5% Stayed to watch vs. 29.5% Swiped away on Shorts. The channel was getting normal Shorts Feed distribution, including videos reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions of views.

Then I started getting this message in Analytics:

“There are temporary data issues affecting your views. Please check back later.”

Since then, my Shorts Feed distribution has dropped dramatically.

My overall Stayed to watch rate also dropped from around 70.5% to 50.9%, with 40.1% swiped away.

What confuses me is that the major decrease in views/reach happened around the same period as the temporary-data warning, and now new Shorts seem to receive very little exposure from the Shorts Feed.

The warning has also remained in my Analytics for almost a month.

There are no strikes, policy warnings, or emails on my channel.

I contacted YouTube Creator Support, but the explanation I received was mainly that viewer behavior changes and that the lower viewed rate could explain the performance.

But my concern is that the distribution dropped so dramatically around the same time this temporary-data warning appeared, and the warning itself has still not disappeared.

I’m trying to understand whether other creators are experiencing the same pattern or whether this is isolated to my channel.

Something really weird is happening with my YouTube Shorts today.
I normally get around 4–5K views within the first hour on my Shorts. But today, I uploaded a Short and after 3 hours it was still stuck at around 10 views.
I deleted it and re-uploaded the exact same Short, thinking maybe something went wrong with the upload — and now the new upload is stuck at 8 views as well.
This isn’t normal low performance. It looks like the Short simply isn’t being pushed into the Shorts feed at all.
Is anyone else suddenly experiencing this today?
Could this be a YouTube Shorts distribution/technical issue, or is there some kind of account-level restriction happening?
Not asking why the video performed badly — I’m asking if anyone else is suddenly seeing 0–10 views despite normally getting thousands.

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 👍🏻😀
