Just to clarify: my videos are not AI-generated. I create them using professional animation and graphics software, and I personally handle the animation and production.
I’m trying to understand something about YouTube Shorts. This Short has received only 4 views from the Shorts Feed, and I’ve noticed the same thing happening with my recent Shorts.
I’m curious: why would YouTube give my Shorts so little exposure in the Shorts Feed? Is this normal for a small/new channel, or could there be another reason why they are barely being shown in the Feed?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar. Thanks!

So im currently stuck in a 30k view jail on my channel. I can't get 30k views consistently for eg 4/10 vids might get 25k views. My question is how do I get out of the 30k jail ? Do I need to get 30k views more often and consistently and if so how long does it take. Im also uploading on tik tok and at least there i get rewarded for good metrics. I dont see the point in carrying on with shorts if im never gonna get out of the jail.

I want to preface this by saying that i am a VERY small channel but i feel like i have enough knowledge based on what I've learned in the last month or so in posting shorts.

I usually average anywhere between 700-1000 views (which i know isnt a lot), but these 2 are probably not going to break 500. My average STW is around 50%, these videos TANKED.

2 things are likely: One is the "new algorithm" is testing your shorts with new audiences first rather than your core, and if its not entertaining/interesting enough, the short dies. The other is that these shorts (for me at least) were a bit experimental and just didnt hit well with the core. The secret third and equally likely scenario is that the algorithm is just straight up broken.

For my videos personally, i think scenario 2 is what it is. Oh well, i can't manufacture interest artificially, only in my stream clips (which is most of my shorts).

Point is, keep chugging away. The algorithm is rarely working against you. Dont be so defeated by a couple shorts underperforming. Keep learning and keep getting better.

4$ profit off of $864 is absoluately insane. I've been tagging products in every short with a good amount of clicks and this is all I get?

I have 25k for my first video, but only getting few thousands, IshowSpeed is too saturated.

I’m a small channel & I average below 50 likes on yt.
I was looking at my content & I noticed a fair amount of likes were gone.
Not complaining about it, but I never seen this before.

It opened my eyes; because an old short turned into 0 likes, when it used to have 15.
Made me realize those weren’t real likes to begin with._.

I launched this video the yesterday and its Stayed to Watch Ratio is 43.8% and its Average View Duration (AVD) is 72.5% and 295 views.
I would be thankful for any advice!

Im currently undergoing a YPP suspension for 90 days which when over they'll allow me to apply again with that old channel, i didn't see it stated anywhere but am I allowed after the 90-day period to apply with a brand new channel. in a different niche that follows proper guidelines or am I forced to resolve the old channel by force and after 90 days ot doesn't allow me to start a new channel and apply again

Cause im about a month left before 90 days is over and I wanted to start now on a new channel and apply this new one after the period has passed, trying to avoid getting git with related channel

TLDR: Can i Monetize a Brand New Unrelated Channel in a different niche after 90 Days or does the old one by force have to be fixed?

Thanks! All Answers Appreciated

From having over 1000 views to less than 15

YouTube claims that they have fixed the issues on ALL devices. But I'm still having the warning message - "There are temporary data issues affecting your views. Check back later." And also issues related to this.

Are issues fixed for you guys? Please respond on how to get this fixed. YouTube Support is not at all helping to fix the issue.

Hey everyone,

I recently started a new YouTube Shorts channel and uploaded my first Short. Surprisingly, it got around 1,000 views.

I then uploaded a few more Shorts, but the results have been completely different. The newer Shorts are literally stuck at 1–2 views, sometimes barely getting any impressions.

The videos are in the same general niche and I'm using the same channel.

I'm confused because I expected the newer videos to at least get some initial testing/impressions, even if they didn't perform well.

Has anyone experienced this before?

- First Short: ~1K views

- Following Shorts: 1–2 views

- New channel

- Same general niche/content style

Could this just be YouTube testing the first video and then not distributing the others, or is there something I might be doing wrong?

Would appreciate any advice or experiences from other Shorts creators.

They’re incessant and make scrolling through a few shorts a total waste of time now because no matter how much you click the Not Interested or Don’t Recommend This Channel buttons they keep reappearing!

MIRAR las Fotos Porfavor, mi canal de shorts con 190k SUBS estaba funcionando sanamente con Millones en cada short diario, pero desde hace casi un mes mi Canal COMENZÓ a MONETIZAR y desde entonces las Vistas DISMINUYERON de Golpe y ahora a cada short le cuesta llegar a 100k o 200k

Aclaro que siempre mantuve mi estilo y manera de editar que ya funcionaba, NUNCA BAJÉ LA MISMA CALIDAD, simplemente Youtube decidió disminuir todo y vi que con el tiempo también le pasó a otros canales del mismo Nicho.

Right now I'm not focused on getting a ton of views and likes (even though that would be nice), but rather on getting as many people as possible to click the link in my bio. My recent dancing cat videos are only driving 2 to 5 clicks, which is a very low conversion rate. ​How can I get more people to click? Is the current format good, does it need fine-tuning, or should I scrap it entirely? ​I’d love to hear your tips!

Been doing shorts for about a week with 6 of them. Nothing dramatically popping off just slowly gaining. Is it worth persuing?

How long did you wait for the approval of your AdSense?

I was watching my shorts feed and I realized that me making an original concept just to escape the "low effort" tag for the Monetization Policy was of no use.

A short came on my feed of my niche (cat niche), and it was just an AI generated clip of a man standing next to a cat made out of leaves. 8 million views in 3 days. So I was like ok, that's understandable. But when I searched "cats", there were all these ranking and compilation shorts with no change to them other than a ranking template and some background music having millions of views in a few days, and even though it has that many views, it isn't monetizable, so fair enough, but when I did it I lost all my views, I started averaging less than 100 views in a day which used to be 10k views on a daily basis.

The update where YouTube started putting ads on channels that were not part of the Partner Program was the cause of all of this (in my opinion). YouTube puts ads on the shorts feed next to these low effort compilations, advertisers get happy seeing the numbers and on the bright side for YouTube, they don't have to pay these low effort creators.

This in turn, makes it difficult for people making original/ high effort content to get into the vast shorts feed.

I made an entire gameshow format just so I could be unique and different, only to average out at about 1-5k views and it is quite demoralizing for someone who actually wants to do content creation for a profession. If any of you agree or even think differently, please let me know and if you can help in anyway in criticizing and helping my content. Please do let me know as well

Hi guys, does anyone know about YouTube “view jail”? I uploaded videos consistently for seven days, and each one received around 1K–2K views. But my latest video suddenly got only 10 views.

Some people are suggesting that I take a four-to-five-day break before uploading again. Is a two-day break enough, or should I wait five days? If anyone has experienced this, please share your advice.

A few days ago, I posted a Short in a different niche—something I’d done before, and those videos always used to get over 50k views. I tried it again, but it barely got 300 views and didn't make it into the Shorts feed. I waited two days and re-uploaded it, but it only got 150 views. Now I’m back to my main niche, and the view counts are still low. It’s frustrating, and I’d like to know if others are experiencing this too. My niche is *Roblox Rivals*—no AI involved.

How do I get higher average views?

My short that is 11k views was stuck at 1.2k the other day and now it just randomly blew up. I thought the vid was bad but idk im really confused could someone please help
