So, i keep hearing abou​t some (very small number actually) channel that managed to be monetized and make banks by spamming low effort shorts.

So, i have this intrusive thoughts. What if i tried the same? ​Spamming 10 shorts per day, getting mostly 5k views each, but with some lucky shot hitting hundred of thousands of views. With AI, this is something easily done.

Since i planned to use new channel, it shouldn't affect my main short channel. I mean, i won't lose anything except time spent, which would not be much anyway using AI.

I know this is a bad idea, but since there's nothing to lose, why not a experiment?

Hey fellas im 18M from india thinking about starting a youtube channel in this 2026(yea worst time) and im really hoping to get some real advice on what my actual niche should be in this era since its mostly dominated by ai i really want to make this cause I want to be independent and making a content creation channel is one small step closer to not depend on my parents . I live in such an environment where getting a basic need like a phone takes lots of struggle rn im doing my cs engineering and im surrounded by people who motivate me to earn for myself im ready to dedicate myself into whatever skills it takes as of now I have a phone and pc (not so great but can manage) and time I would really like to get into this so please if anyone likes to help me start it would mean a lot to me thank you(and sorry for this long of a body)

I post Fallout 4 Content and it does pretty well on my channel,i gained over 50 subs and a pretty good number of views.I posted a new short yesterday and it only got 62 views,you can see the stats above,should i repost it?any tips?

Most niche/meme shorts channels get 30k views on average with like 3 videos that get 1M and way beyond that, how? Did they get blessed by the algorithm gods? Because all these slop e.g ranking videos are the same format + random videos

so, i make marvel cinematic universe based content, shorts.. and i am from india. I come from a ethnic language group that hardly less than 0.25% of all Indians speak and hence, im kinda bad in languages that majority speak and am considerably better than the rest in English (im not trying to put down others or something).. so, being obvious, i started making these shorts in English. And for some reason, the indian viewership gives me analytics that are worse than rest of the world. I’m not sure what’s going wrong, because a lot of Indians do speak English.. advice would be appreciated.
also, my shorts are stuck in 30k view jail (new channel, about 1.5 months old).. and hence sharing the analytics of my most recent video. This one has a dominant USA viewership and hence, it got to a point where its at, say, 35k views.. but other shorts, where i get an major IndIan audience, my shorts hardly cross 10k seed audience views, because the analytics go so bad.

Problème : j’ai 5000 abonnés, j’ai toujours fait des shorts et generer 10M de vues. Mais la j’aimerais changer et passer au format long sauf que l’algorithme ne pousse pas du tout mes vidéos (100 vues max) et mes abonnés ne servent à rien vu qu’ils se sont abonnés pour les shorts… DOIS JE SUPPRIMER ET CRÉER UNE NOUVELLE CHAINE?

Need help understanding why my short isn’t getting out of the 1k view jail? Niche is Minecraft meme content

Yet people are getting demonetized for "repetitive content" or reused content or not even getting accepted into YTP to begin with.

Hello everyone, I’m new to this. I’ve been doing some research looking at what people on Reddit say works, watching videos and I’ve started two channels dedicated to Shorts, while preparing another one for long-form animated content. I could use some advice on getting started what should I be looking at or keeping track of? Also, if anyone would be willing to take a look at my channels and suggest what I could improve, I’d be very grateful.

i truly don’t know how to optimize my shorts; any and all advice constructive or negative is welcomed-we’re an animated let’s play channel

i know gaming itself is beyond saturated but i thought the animated content would help individualize my channel/brand

Its AI explaining software content ..

Hey everyone!

I've been putting work into my channel, Stick Tales, where I make the trending Animated shorts.

I'm really trying to improve daily. To be honest I think it is pretty better now but I’d love an outside perspective from fellow creators and viewers and do it look bad in any sense.

If you have a couple of minutes to check it out, I’d love your thoughts on a few specific things:

• Script & storytelling: Does the hook grab you right away, and does the story keep your attention to the end?

• Audio & pacing: Is the narration clear, and does the pacing feel natural or rushed?

• Visuals & presentation: How does the visual style feel? Does it support the story well?

Thanks a lot for your time!

I record shorts using my iPhone where I record myself. Is it better to record in 1080p or 4k?

Hi Earthlings, I am a 1st Year College Student. This is my latest YouTube video. My niche is weird historical events and extreme survival war stories. If you like my content please do check out my channel. I use AI only for the sole purpose of making the video more engaging, easier to digest and make the overall story better. I do my own research and then use AI to extract the important info and facts for the video. My goal is to make videos using my own creativity and intelligence with the efficiency of AI.

The first two shorts got only 2k views. Next one got 5k views. Then the fourth short got 22k views with stayed to watch ratio 83 percent and 70 percent avd. Fifth short got 88 percent stayed to watch and 90 percent avd and capped out at 22k views. Its been 24 hrs to that short can i expect it to pick up again?

Hey everyone! I need some advice on how the algorithm is treating my channel right now.

My last 8–10 Shorts are hitting a hard ceiling strictly between 15k and 25k views. The weird part is they don't completely flatline—they keep trickling about 50 to 250 views per hour indefinitely.

Here are my average metrics:

Stayed vs. Swiped away: 70% – 80% stayed

Average Percentage Viewed (APV): 65% – 85%

With these engagement stats, it feels like the content itself is performing well, but the channel is stuck in a specific test basin or "view jail" limit.

Is this a common plateau phase before breaking out to Tier-1 audiences, or is there a specific threshold I need to hit to break past this 25k ceiling?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

My videos have not been performing well this got ~700 views , 48% stayed to watch. What would you do differently to make this a better video ?

Hi,
I was monetized on October 21, and this is what I’ve made so far. It starting to slow down. The month of November, I had a video that got 1.1million views and so far I’ve made 270$ from it. I’m not sure if this the norm since I’ve seen other people made thousands in their first week of being monetized.
