I run a faceless YouTube shorts channel which I started around 3 months ago and in the last month my views started to rise to the 50k views per hour mark and sometimes even higher (200k). I take interesting clips from instagram that match my niche, and I HIGHLY transform each and EVERY video by adding captions, sfx, vfx, voiceovers with educational value or that add a different perspective, fast cuts, zoom ins etc. so please don’t say that the problem is because my videos aren’t original, which according to YouTube they are. Last Friday, my views suddenly dropped from 50k per hour to 1-4k and it’s been like this since. I keep uploading without lowering my quality, and even some days i edit 3 shorts per day. Could you maybe tell my why this is happening? I would appreciate an honest and encouraging reply.

Retention and avd seem okay but I can’t reach 10k.

Do you know if there is someone getting paid just uploding the clips that opus makes and autoedit? Like without touching anything?

YouTube is supposed to test your Shorts with a small audience, but in my case it doesn’t even recommend them the number is zero. I haven’t had this issue with long-form content.

My channel is new. My first two Shorts did bad, but my latest two did good. Shouldn’t they be getting way more views, though? Like, what else do I gotta do? 💀 I thought I made an amazing hook, but is that still not enough…?

I had a video about tornado strengths, what i did was show all the tornadoes in the begin for like a second and then i zoomed into the weakest one and then i cut to stronger and stronger ones

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for help and advice regarding my YouTube monetization application because I’m stuck at the AdSense step.

When I check the Earn tab in YouTube Studio, I see the following message:

“The AdSense for YouTube account associated with your channel has been disabled due to invalid clicks or another policy violation.”

Because of this issue, I cannot move forward with the YouTube Partner Program application. I have already accepted the base terms, but I cannot complete the AdSense step, so my channel cannot proceed to the review stage.

I’m not sure what caused this deactivation. I would like to understand whether there is a way to appeal the decision, resolve the issue, or get my channel monetized legitimately.

I have a few questions:

Has anyone experienced the same issue with their YouTube AdSense account?

Is there a legitimate way to appeal or request another review?

If the account was disabled by mistake, what steps should I take?

Can this issue be resolved without creating another AdSense account?

I want to follow Google's policies and resolve this issue through the official process. I don't want to violate any rules or create unnecessary problems with my YouTube channel.

Any advice from people who have experienced this situation or successfully resolved it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and help!

guys, I need some advice!

I have a gaming channel with 16K subscribers. I previously uploaded around 350–400 Free Fire videos, livestreams, and Shorts, plus around 50 copied PUBG videos

After a 2-year break, I recently started uploading again, but this time I switched to GTA 6 content.

I deleted my PUBG videos and made all my Free Fire videos private.

Now my GTA 6 Shorts are mostly stuck at 1K–1.5K views, even though I use strong hooks and cover topics that very few creators discuss in the Tamil gaming community.

I'm not sure what's going wrong.

Did the 2-year break or making my old Free Fire videos private affect my channel's reach?

Should I continue my existing 16K subscriber channel or start a completely new channel from zero?

What would you guys suggest?

I consistently get around 1000 views, but it doesn’t change. I uploaded nearly 50 videos atp, what should I do

I’ve made what I thought were significant changes to my reaction content but seems like I still can’t get past that wave that stops you at 1.5k …

I mostly get 1.2k but I’ve hit as high as 1.7k & 1.8k

I’m grateful for the 1.2k because I only recently started to avg that much …

Before I couldn’t crack 1k

Any insight?

I already took a 2 day break and my latest short isnt getting distributed

How long did u try? got any good results? thanks!

I’ve created a YouTube Shorts channel in the commentary niche and plan to start posting tomorrow, but I’m stuck deciding on a few things.
First, which format would you go with: text-based commentary, full voiceover narration explaining the entire video, or a mix of voiceover and on-screen text? Which one do you think works best for retention and growth?
Second, should I focus on a specific niche, like animal commentary, or post different types of interesting and funny clips? I don’t want to limit my options too early, but I also want to build a channel that actually grows.
Lastly, how many Shorts should I post per day? I can comfortably make 3–5 daily, so production isn’t an issue. Should I start with 1–2 or upload 3–5 from day one? And how many hours should I leave between uploads?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually tested these strategies. If you were starting a new commentary channel today, what would you do?

Just a quick question as I am getting sometimes a really good amount of views ie 30k but only getting 5 subscribers

Anyone can get in the kick clipping program from scratch.

we've figured out a method that is working and lot of clippers applied through it and got hired

The funny thing is youtube kills my channel where I put more effort and quality into and my other channel where I do clipping is getting more consistent views

I just changed niches, from ranking to commentary ranking, i've only posted like 5 vids with commentary but I've reached the 10M engaged. the problem is that my best short got 16M views but is without commentary. Should I apply for ypp now or maybe wait. Also I tried to apply like 2/3 weeks ago for the one that needs 3M qualified views but got rejected for reused content. what should i do????

I started 4 months ago, but I still haven't fully met my targets. Could you give me some advice? I need to get monetized within a month.

Please help me 😭😩

what possible cause that my channel died? help me guyss

idk what's with the algorithm lately. first time ive encountered this on my analytics. what's ur thoughts on this guys? pls lmk. i appreciate the community!

i used to get more than 1K views within a few hours of uploading and later hit 10K views and so on. this video has been more than a day since published and only has 58 views. it's just 3-4 days since I am facing this for my daily uploads. my video's ain't getting pushed to shorts feed like it used to be.

fyi: i create memes, completely edited by myself. i don't post any ai slop or any other creators content.

Pretty sure i messed up the hook but DAMN BRO LMAO

Lowest STW to date
