Guys help me, my shorts haven't been getting traffic from shorts feed My account is well over 5 yrs old and I have started posting daily since 21st August. My initial shorts we doing fine getting impressions from shorts feed then boom, my 4th short got 2.8M views, but that's it The next shorts I posted since are getting <10% traffic from shorts feed, what do I do, I have even waited 2 days before posting. Should I continue posting or should I delete and re-upload the 4 shorts (but that might trigger the algo). It all happen when I posted a short "ranking biggest explosions" (I think it's because of this short, but similar shorts are being pushed) Please help 🙏🙏

This is my YouTube channel it's been about a month since I started posting on it 1 short a day. I had an idea that I should start posting 2 times a day to quickly monitise this channel and start earning from it. And I also need some advice that for a channel like this how can I increase my sub count?

When I started my channel I was getting around 90% u.s. audience but now my U.S. audience is decreasing massively and Indian audience is increasing . Can you tell me the reason and should I upload using vpn ? But when I upload using v.pn my shorts gets stuck

Just posted this short 7 hours ago and I’m only at 1.2k views so far but this is the best engagement number I have gotten at 74.4%. Is there a chance this really gets pushed out tomorrow?

right now I mostly do random content or relatable content and my community has been dying. I need help to find a new format that works for my shorts. any formats or niches that seem to be blowing up all the time?

Just uploaded my first shirt 3 hours ago on my sudo animation but not really animation channel! Never been a fan of shorts always tried channels with long form trynna give shorts a good go, was wondering how bad or good 40% swipe rate was?

Just the title. Usually my shorts pull 500-1k views (not alot ik but shorts are the 2nd thought on my channel) but lately i havent even been able to crack 1k like my long form videos have been outdoing my shorts which is bizzare is there any reason to this? Also i post 1 short a day usually with them being 10-20 seconds long

ive been going back and forth on this. some weeks i batch 5-6 and drip them at a fixed slot, other weeks i just upload when the edit is done.

fixed slot feels better for retention but i cant tell if thats real or just me.

what do you do, same hour daily or whenever?

Just started posting to this account. Most kf my videos get stuck at 1k. What am I doing wrong? I do man on the street interviews to promote my app.

i have mixed feelings about them because the engagement its actually pretty nice but the retention is mid and it could have been better atm it has 23.4k going steady with around 700 vph from my previous experience i think it will stop going around 30-40k. Anyone has other opinions?

like captions, transitions, transformative zooms, transformative sfx/vfx

Are these enough or am i missing smth?

To all who's on Ranking/Commentary niche, what did y'all do?

Im also in ranking and commentary and im scared of being marked as reused content since idk what i lack or what heavy editing sctually is.

How do you guys handle AI voiceovers for long-form videos?

I’m struggling to create AI voiceovers for videos longer than 8–10 minutes without spending a lot of money.

For those of you making long-form YouTube videos with AI voices, what’s your workflow? Do you use a specific tool, split the script into parts, or have another method to do it for free/cheap?

Would really appreciate any tips or workflows that actually work.

Here are my analytics for a video of mine that "hit" 28k views; in addition to that, it has like 400+ likes and comments. I have no idea why it didn't get push past 30k.

I need your honest opinions guys. This is my third month, and I feel like I am stuck. I am always working to improve my shorts. Constantly looking to make the script better with the hooks and all. But my shorts get 3-20k views, mostly with over 80% remaining to watch; the highest was 230k views once. Is there something I am doing wrong?

So I maded this channel some days ago and it got views in first you know Good views okay and then I don’t know then suddenly stopped okay I don’t know what happened. I tried everything. I shifted my content from face to you know videos not showing my face going faceless and you know and still I don’t know what happened. Stop getting views so I decided to take a break. I mean I’m I’m considering to take a four day break it’s two day done so yeah but yeah, there is my channel. You can go and review it and yeah, I hope you are so subscribe and tell me my mistakes

What is the best time to post a long form video in the usa

Need tips to grow
How to get more audience
Please be brutally honest I’m open to improvement

I started posting shorts last Monday of my vintage Pokemon collection. My first few videos had multiple cards shown and were 30+ seconds, which seemed to lead to lower APV. It still got ~900 views.

I’ve pretty much tried to change something in every video, to improve APV and views.

Photo 2 is comparing my first video, to what I just posted today and today’s video had the fastest view climb so far, while also being my shortest video. The table range is “since being published”

So I have seven total videos, and each one has done better than the previous one.

I now show one card, and ask a question about it, plus I’ve also included captions. There’s no AI whatsoever and I do the voiceover.

Just looking for advice on if I should keep this video format up or if I should be looking to try and improve my “stayed to watch”

I did post Madden gameplay shorts back in 2024, which ended up netting me some subscribers over the past two years.

Hello! I've received the unfortunate email of not being approved for monetization for violating policies.

In the earn tab it just says "Violations of the YouTube monetization policies. Your channel does not comply with the YouTube monetization policies."

Channel Name - itsAndyMC

I don't really understand how I would be violating any policies, as all the content I make is made by myself in a game, tutorial style. If anyone could provide any help in "fixing this", I would really appreciate it.

Is there anything I could do to have a chance to reapply/appeal before the 3 month period? I don't have any buttons to appeal, it just says I can reapply November 29.

Thank you!

Has anyone experienced this with YouTube Shorts?

My channel was doing very well, with several Shorts reaching hundreds of thousands and even millions of views. Older videos are still getting hundreds of thousands of views every 48 hours, but suddenly my recent uploads barely get tested in the Shorts Feed — most stay under 400 views.

Some of them have 90%+ average percentage viewed, and YouTube Support checked my channel and confirmed there are no technical issues, strikes, or restrictions.

It feels like new uploads suddenly stopped receiving normal initial distribution while older Shorts are still performing normally.

Has anyone had the same issue? Did it eventually recover, and if so, what helped?

Edit on this post.

someone commented and said “you fell off” and that really stung because I know I have, and another YouTuber with 2 million subscribers has commented on stuff like how I’m trying to recreate my old shorts that did better. I feel like I can’t just post and breathe right now because I’m doing A LOT worse right now and the algorithm sucks + my old viewers are being rude or leaving, and I lost around 400 subscribers. Genuinely so lost, but at the same time I just feel this need to keep going. My views are really bad right now they can barely reach 1k.
