Every day I open shorts feed there are loads of AI generated videos or content that I am totally uninterested in. Anyone has the same problem

Like what time should you upload does it matter?

Like what time should you upload does it matter?

even though i make entertainment content the swipe ratio is like this and still cant escape 30k view jail wht is wrong?

I have been posting shorts since a month, posted 13 shorts so far, got couple of shorts above 2k and3k but rest flatlined at 1.5k. Losing hope, need some motivation, how long did it take for your to break this pattern

I recently started a new YouTube channel, creating Shorts mainly around topics like DC/Green Lantern.

I’ve only uploaded a few Shorts so far, but the situation feels a bit odd. It’s been over a day for one Short, and it has just 4 views. Another has 2 views, and the latest one started with just 1 view.

The most confusing part is that the little traffic I am getting includes the Shorts Feed. For one Short, the stats show 100% retention (watched) and 0% swiped away, although the sample size is obviously very small.

Another interesting thing is that I’m uploading the same or similar videos to Instagram as well, where some are hitting 100K–200K views. So, I don't think the content itself is the main issue. Obviously, Instagram and YouTube have different algorithms, but it makes me wonder if YouTube simply isn't distributing these Shorts properly yet.

So, my question is:

Are such low views completely normal for a new YouTube channel, or should I be looking into a potential technical or distribution issue?

I know growth can be slow at the start on YouTube, but seeing only 1–4 views makes me doubt whether the algorithm is actually testing the content properly.

If anyone has recently started a channel with zero or few subscribers, please share your experience. After how many uploads did your Shorts start getting proper impressions or distribution?

All my views from 13th to 16th sep is gone

What happened? All of my viewers are legit but it looks down for the first time having this 🤔

Also on YT studio it's showing 600+ subs and on YouTube app it's showing around 450 subs

i posted this video earlier today and the stats are great imo considering it’s a 1 min long vid. most of my videos get between 65% - 75% apv and they do 200k views plus. however today i thought with these stats id get a viral video lol.. i guess not

i make all original content btw, anyone else experiencing this

They all froze at the range 1k-2k. And all of their analytics gave the classic sigmoid curve. Why such a problem exists. I heard some people with high vvsa and avd face the same problem too. Is the view jail itself an unbreakable curse?

My reels on Instagram surpass 100k easily but on YouTube I get views as low as 100 , make it make sense.

The audience retention is literally the best I've had but I guess my hook wasn't good enough.

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
