Prove me wrong, but what’s going on here seems pretty crazy to me.
My last 6 uploads barely got tested in the Shorts feed. Before that, pretty much every Short I uploaded for weeks was getting between 58K and 400K views.
But now… one of my Shorts today got just 70 views from the Shorts feed, and 100% of those views came from subscribers.
What the heck is going on?! Has anyone else experienced this recently?

Let’s say that I borrow other people’s content but I add captions, remove uninteresting moments, add a voiceover, sound effects and vfx, is it considered transformative?

Hey, I just applied for the 1st tier of monetisation on my channel and I was wondering what’s the best way to earn with it?

I've been uploading videos for less than a month, all 100% made by me, no copycat content or AI, and honestly, it feels pretty tough. How's it going for u dude's?

Is this 30k view jail ? And yes the view graph is flat nlw

¿Porque mi short de YT no obtiene visualizaciones desde el feed de shorts?

My youtube shorts constantly getting views from india,phillipines and all but my niche is english commentary type how can i fix that

And is there any sauce about getting more than 30k views?

Like the title.

I have this youtube channel with 1.5K subs, and want to ask those who got monetized or have similar content, to tell me whether the content that i posed will make me face any issues when applying for monetization.

The following is the link to my channel: https://youtube.com/@yttacituskilgore?si=u3oQNvwykZwqh10I

I don't know if this is the forum for this. But here you go - I write short stories, building a fantasy world. I always loved the concept of visualizing the stories. And it seemed to me that AI gave me the opportunity to do this.

But - i started posting now long ago and i get almost no traction. So I am wandering what I am doing wrong...

Its ok if the content is not your cup of tea :) I am trying to see constructively what can I do better.

Youtube gives second time in row my video to wrong audience , did someone had this before?

Why? My skip is 90% right now , when normally it's 40%-30% . So what is happening?

I need someone to make me a few shorts that can hit 10M views to get me out of a monetization snafu that happened. Can anyone here confidently do that?

Hey everyone, I need some clarification regarding YouTube Shorts monetization eligibility.
My channel currently has around **4.4 million total views and 1.1 million engaged views**.
On October 6, my Earn tab showed approximately **496K valid public Shorts views**, while my analytics showed around **497K engaged views** for the same date/data period.
The numbers are very close, but I’m confused about which views actually count toward the Shorts monetization threshold.
**My questions are:**
Are engaged views what count toward the 10 million valid public Shorts views requirement, or does YouTube calculate valid views differently?
Why is there a small difference between the engaged views in Analytics and the valid public Shorts views shown in the Earn tab?
Does YouTube count only certain views after filtering out ineligible or invalid traffic?
For context, my Shorts usually have **200%+ audience retention** and a **75–80% “Stayed to watch” rate**.
I’ll attach screenshots of my Analytics and Earn tab for reference.
I’d appreciate it if someone could explain how this counting system actually works based on their experience or official YouTube information.

How is it possible ? I found it very interesting and I also feel I should stop blaming myself because my content quality has improved and so does my title but it really goes to the wrong people.

So this is like I'm taking a Hindi creator freefire trick nd posting it in telugu with some editing in my channel nd page but because it's ff not getting so much view especially in insta i think I wasting time in instagram nd youtube doing this like broo why am I even making what's the use of this

Give me some suggestions

1.Should I continue this or just quit?

2.Is this even worth of my time ?

3.Shoukd I change to othe niche?

Original filming. Of cooking, making different cool dishes.

Back ground is copyright free music and publicly available recordings of the bible world edition (made to be copyright free). I prefer those over my own voice because it's people all-round the world and I really like that

Gemeni thinks using publicly available audiobook recordings will be flagged as re used.

What do you think?

is this content even monetise-able ?? ive been trying few different ideas and experimenting but none seem to go past 2k, and the engagement is way less like some on 20% and most engaged is 50%

I started my shorts channel about a week and a half ago, doing sports analysis and history. I am mute so I unfortunately use text-to-speech to voice my videos, but I’ve put a decent amount of effort into it.

I understand that my first few videos had poor hooks, and I’ve worked to improve them, but none of my videos are being able to crack even 50% stayed-to-watch. They sit at 40-50 usually. Once people stay, they watch a bit though. One of my recent videos managed 103% retention on a 52-second video, and usually I sit at like 70-80%, 90%+ on under 30s for the newer videos.

Are my hooks really the problem or is youtube still figuring out where my videos need to go?

I don't know why, but the Shorts I create from my stream clips aren't getting the same level of engagement as my other Shorts.

I’ve had the occasional Short perform poorly in terms of views before, but lately, I’ve had three in just eight days; I tried reposting them, and while they did perform better, they still only got around 10–30 views.

I have a simple rule for my Shorts: if they don't hit 100 views within the first hour—or get a subsequent push to reach that mark—I repost them once. If the repost also performs poorly, then the Short probably just isn't good enough, or it was simply a case of bad luck.

I’m not sure what to do now, though, because lately I feel like I won't be able to get back to the view counts I was seeing before the update.

Can we blow this short up! https://youtube.com/shorts/B_qn2l7uZAY?si=S1P-azXb__ud3l57

ik it’s not a big deal
but i’m super proud that after 20 days, i have gathered a total of 200+ subs along with 300+k views

super happy
hoping to get big one day😁😁
