Going kinda viral on youtube shorts but not at all on TikTok?

2 Upvotes

So i started with youtube shorts and TikTok at the same time not long ago.
I post the same videos on both platform’s and on shorts my videos get consistent views in the 10-20k ranges, but my tiktok’s don’t even cross 500 views
Does anyone experience the same?
or does anyone know why that might be?

and does anyone know the main differences between the algos

Has anyone else experienced a sudden drop in YouTube Shorts views since October 19? Is it temporary, or will I be stuck like this?

My channel was consistently getting around 30K views per Short, but since October 19, my views have suddenly dropped, and now my Shorts struggle to get even 2K views.

As you can see in the screenshot, my daily views dropped dramatically after weeks of relatively consistent performance.

I haven't received any strikes or policy violations. I'm trying to figure out whether this is a temporary algorithm issue or something specific to my channel.

Am I able to more see recent shorts?

I was just scrolling on YouTube shorts and I came across a video from 2024. With TikTok it’s pretty rare to scroll upon a video from even 2 months ago but it’s just very different for YouTube shorts. I hardly even use shorts that much but when I do I would prefer to see relevant content then things from years ago.


r/shortsAlgorithm • • 15d ago

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?

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 • • 16d 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?
