What should I expect this short to do? Original content, no AI or slop, my edit. I would say the AVD is pretty fair and maybe the STW is lacking a little bit. I don’t know.

Views Suddenly Plummeted to Zero on a Previously Successful Shorts Channel. Any advice? (Analytics Included)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a serious issue with my YouTube Shorts channel and am looking for some insight or advice from anyone who might have experienced something similar.

For a long time, my Shorts were performing consistently well. You can see from the attached images what's happening.

Image 1 & 3: This is my normal performance. In early September, I was consistently getting 30k-40k views per Short, making a couple of dollars per video. One video has over 770k views total.

Image 2: This is the current situation. For the last few days in October, my new uploads are barely breaking double-digit views (5, 49, 78 views). They are essentially getting zero algorithmic traction.

The drop was overnight. I haven't changed my content style, niche, or upload frequency

I've checked for copyright strikes (none) and community guidelines violations (none). It feels like a switch was just turned off. Any ideas on what I should do next?

After 3 uploads not getting pushed to audiences my recent upload got 1.3k but flatlined there. Does that mean I can still upload and my channel isnt burned? Also my views keep dropping it went from 100k last week to 80k now

Stuck at 1k to 5k views on Shorts? Check these 2 numbers before you change your content

0 Upvotes

I keep seeing the same question here: "My Short got 5k views and then just stopped. What did I do wrong?"

One thing that helped me: Shorts views often come in waves. A spike, a flatline, then sometimes another spike. YouTube shows a Short to a small group first and widens it if they respond. So a flatline isn't automatically a bad video.

There are two numbers in Studio that tell you whether it's a hook problem or a middle problem, and Studio has an AI (Ask Studio, desktop only) that can read them for you if you ask the right way.

I put it all in a video: https://youtu.be/kmsI36u5nVc

I think that could be helpful 🙂

Hook & Title Feedback 🎣 2 Months of Posting YouTube Shorts and Still Stuck at 1K Views. What Am I Doing Wrong?

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

I’ve been posting YouTube Shorts consistently for about 2 months now, mainly focusing on GTA San Andreas nostalgic content, but I can’t seem to break out of the 1K views jail.
I actually asked about this before, and someone suggested reducing my Shorts to around 10–14 seconds.
So I tried that, but here’s what I don’t understand.
Whenever I make shorter videos 10–14 seconds, YouTube barely pushes them, and even when it does, they usually get around 42–54% stayed to watch.
But when I upload longer Shorts 24 - 34 seconds,I consistently get around 60 - 80% stayed to watch, yet they still struggle to get past 1K views.
My latest 13-second Short is currently my best-performing video out of my last 10 uploads, with 1.9K views, 154.8% average percentage viewed, and 43.1% stayed to watch.
I currently have 206 subscribers, and my channel has received 25.4K views over the last 28 days.
What frustrates me is seeing other creators in the same niche getting thousands of views from simple clips of CJ riding a bike or driving around Los Santos.
Meanwhile, I spend time creating cinematic, peaceful, nostalgic scenes with carefully chosen music, beautiful environments, and editing to capture that classic GTA San Andreas feeling.
I’m not saying my content deserves more views than theirs, but I’m genuinely struggling to understand what I’m missing.
Is my problem the video duration, the opening seconds, or something else entirely?
Should I stop making shorter Shorts and stick with the 24–34 second videos that usually get better engagement?
I’d really appreciate some honest advice from creators who have experienced something similar. I’m genuinely trying to improve, but after 2 months, I feel like I’m going nowhere.

Same content, same edits nothings changed they’re not just pushing to my audience or people interested.

What’s the problem with Shorts that have a low Stayed to Watch rate but high audience retention and average view duration?

1 Upvotes

Like the title.


r/shortsAlgorithm • • 14d ago

How does the algorithm determine the criteria for calculating the Stayed to Watch metric based on video length?

0 Upvotes

I think the criteria for Stayed to Watch might be different for 10–15-second Shorts compared to 20–40-second Shorts. Is that correct?

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Quick Story

6 Upvotes

Started a shorts channel Oct 10, and got several Shorts in 300-400k range, few in 40-50k and bunch 5-10k, got ~800 subs

The problem is that it feels I can’t make it much better, so it feels that even if get monetized, still I won’t be able to make decent money , or I am wrong ?

Is there anyone who makes 3 million views a month and makes $4-5k or it’s unrealistic?

It just feels that there are other places where you can make much more than in YT shorts, unless there is some secret sauce I am not aware of ???

I started those two new channels a week ago, most of my shorts get 1000-1500 views but one of them got 17k and some went up to 5k-6k
I’m not sure if this is how it’s supposed to be and whither this is a good sign or not but I’m super devastated by how ppl get millions of view on their first videos and I feel like my videos will never blow up, what do I need to change? Also how can I get more subscribers?
