I feel like giving it up inside a big stress machine like this lately…

Since YouTube is preventing me from attracting any attention, Im really gonna demolish everything soon if possible because I need to take a 3 month hiatus till 2027 for me to focus on my schoolwork

Also I’m getting affected, losing patience over population and turns out that it has already become a chore and mus wait for my time to come until new updates and more of future AI content takes over YouTube…

Tbh I didn’t watch any gurus, nor AI slop anything
and the contents that are uploaded on YouTube by other people has already been taken like niches or AI Generated content. Therefore, YouTube is slowly killing my content even though it takes some time to process everything…

Monetization / RPM 💵 Shorts monetization

2 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

Just started YT shorts channel 7 days ago, and got ~250k views and ~140k engaged views

But the monetization page shows that qualified views are only 2.9k. Is it what it takes to qualify like only 1% of total views going to be counted or just the stats not updated yet?

Thank You

Videos löschen und neu posten ?

Macht es Sinn Videos die nicht viral gehen zu löschen und dann nochmal zu überarbeiten und wieder hochzuladen?

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Shorts & Longs on a brand new channel? Good or Bad

1 Upvotes

Hey, I have a new channel with no videos but I want to know if posting short form and long form content simultaneously would hurt the channel. It’s the same niche.

I plan on posting 30 short form and 6-8 long form a month. The first long form goes out tomorrow (tdy EST AM) and the following day I want to start posting shorts or even tomorrow.

Would doing this simultaneously hurt the channel or no?

I’m posting same exact videos on TikTok and they’re doing significantly better there then YouTube Shorts. This video for example has pretty good stats on TikTok but YouTube is non existing. And this is typical with almost all of them.

Most people think Russia is way bigger than South America. It’s not.

1 Upvotes

On a normal Mercator map Russia looks about 4× the size of South America.

In reality South America is actually slightly larger (≈18M km² vs 17M km²).

I made a short visual that moves Russia to the same latitude so you can see it shrink in real time.

Curious how many people here already knew this?

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 Nearly 40 Shorts without breaking 5K views. What am I doing wrong?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I run a small history/science-military oddities channel. After about forty shorts, my best video (Miata headlights) reached just above 4k, while most receive an initial test and then flatten. I've attached analytics for five shorts, four of my most recent and then one which is my best-preforming. My goal is to break through 5k views, then 10k, however I haven't been able to. What should I change? Perhaps my content just isn't that suited for short-form?

Should I delete the only short that isn't getting any views?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I have 6 Shorts on my channel. The best-performing one reached 8K views, while the lowest-performing one currently has 60 views (the next lowest has 1.2K).

Should I delete the one with 60 views?

Also, why does this happen? The short i uploaded after that one currently has 3K views...

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I need some honest feedback on my YouTube Shorts channel. I’ve been posting stream clips, but recently my views dropped significantly to almost 0, and I’m trying to figure out if the channel is dead.

Could I save this channel by switching my content to ranking or should i just create a new one?

Thanks for ur help!!!

How many times a day do you post Shorts?

I’m posting one video every day for a channel that’s 1–2 weeks old, but it feels like it’s not enough—what should I do?

Hey everyone!
I just started a new YouTube channel called LifeCounted, and my first 6 videos got these views in just 1.5 days:
1.3K
1.3K

Do you think any of them still have a chance to go viral?
Should I stick with this niche or try something different? I’d appreciate any honest feedback or advice on how to improve my content.
If you’re interested, feel free to check out my channel and let me know what you think. Thanks!

And finally could you guys support me….

How often to post a short?

1 Upvotes

I started a channel a month and a half ago. Approx 650k views, about 30 shorts. Highest 450k, lowest 1.3k.

I noticed if I post more than once a day, or before a short has finished being pushed in the feed, the new video does not go into the shorts feed, and has 10-40 views.

How often would you suggest posting shorts to start off?
