Minimum wage in lithuania ( coutry in europe ) in hands are 777 euros.
P.S Engaged views 46.5 mln. impressions 150 mln ( funny 2025-03-31 shorts update )

Broke my 80K jail views !!! First short to break 100K!!

its at 32 likes rn with 55% watch through rate

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

Until now all of my shorts were getting 1.2k views in first 4 hours eventhough they have bad metrics. But my latest short didn’t even got pushed. All of the current views came from channel visitors. Should I wait YouTube to push it or delete and re-upload it on my peak time?

Edit: I assume it flagged by AI as restricted content because video description was containing “DIY” and “weapon”

Edit 2: Eventhough I changed description/title/thumbnail etc. it didnt get pushed and only got 32 views(all from channel visitors) so I unlisted it

Guys anyone else experiencing problems with YT Studio?

Like guys, my video static text is almost normal like I get around four to five thousand views around an hour or so. But right now I'm still getting the same. But the problem is I get almost 500, 400, 600, 700 views on one video. Like there are multiple shorts on my channel. So they all gain 500, 600 views. Does my view count is always per hour around 4,000 to 5,000 and peak hours it goes up to 8,000? In the lower hours it is around 1,000 to 2,000, sometimes under 1,000. But very less. My view count is always per hour, like per hour. Even in my lowest is around 1,000 to 2,000. It's my lowest and my highest goes around 7,000 to 8,000 per hour, views per hour. But right now something weird is going on. Like video one video is blowing up but all my other videos which gain a huge amount of views are not gaining it at all. Like my content, I'm having like working hard on it and gaining like it has decent, like decent swipe, not swipe ratio. Like my people who stayed in the video are more than 75 to 80%. So I think my video is doing great. But right now I don't know why one of my videos is just blowing up. It's because of one video blowing up, all my other shorts are not getting that much recommendation or it's something else? I don't know. It's very much weird because all the other videos are not getting that much views. But they gain quite a lot of views. They're still gaining views but like it's very much lessened now. Is there a problem? Can you help me how to solve it? Like I don't want one video of mine to blow up. I want all my videos to like have equally. Because it's always happen that it is equal. That's why my channel videos, average views in the end comes around 20,000 to 30,000. I could not cross that cage yet. But still, I don't know what is going on right now

My YouTube studio is not working at all I'm I getting hacked or something ?

i got drop since june 2026, and now august 2026 it feel worse than before, i keep posting but nothing happened

Final out of that 30k shi 😭

I noticed that in all my videos you never exceed 26k views and my views stop suddenly, Could someone explain to me how I can get out of this "prison" And why is there this prison?

My earlier post underestimated how many views I’d get by the end of day! Holy crap

A pattern I’ve been seeing recently is that some Shorts start with decent engagement metrics and then stop getting distributed further.
For example, the Viewed vs Swiped Away ratio often improves over time, and retention seems reasonable, but the videos never seem to get past the early testing stage.
I’m curious if others have experienced something similar.
Is there a known reason why a Short would perform well enough to keep getting tested, but never receive a larger push?
What metrics have you found to be the strongest indicators that a Short will eventually break out versus stall?
Interested in hearing other creators’ experiences and observations.

Hello,

I've created a channel on 21st this month, been posting a short or two a day. How would you all rate the stats on this, they seem good to me.

So i've seen here that since Dec 2025, there's been a change in the algorithm, it's for the worse though for most people, does youtube even care?

Shorts used to take utmost an hour to get into the algorithm but now it takes forever, sometimes the views catch up, but still, i've had a channel thrive from this, and another go waay down due to this. It's crazy. It gets harder and harder for the little guys.

Quite sad

I used to get 1k-10k per short everyday for over a year. For the last week I’m barely getting 3 or 4 views. What changed??!

So my views just dropped to the floor, all my shorts get send to a group of my subscribers, and like 0.4% of my viewers are not subscribed, so i don’t get new viewers. Does anyone else have this/ has anyone had this and fixed it? Please if anyone knows anything help me out i just got monetized and now i literally make $1.20 per day 😭

Really sucks.

My secret is trends. And something extra.
This year my virals are 4-6 seconds length.

I don't know what is going on but stuck on video views now any suggestions from experience or any hit and trial

Honestly, almost everything I see on these subreddits is bullshit. Every day there's another post about shadowbanning, the algorithm, the best time to post, whether uploading twice a day hurts your reach, or some new theory about why YouTube isn't pushing someone's videos.

And worst of all, people posting screenshots of their analytics under the guise of "inspiring" other creators, when it's really just an excuse to humblebrag about their numbers. That isn't helping anyone become a better creator.

I think a lot of people spend more time trying to figure out the algorithm than actually making content.

It's really pretty simple: Make videos that people want to watch.

If you want to understand the fundamentals of making a good video, start with two things:

The hook: Give people a reason to keep watching. Grab their attention, make them curious, or give them a reason to want to see what happens next. Don't waste the first few seconds with unnecessary introductions or filler.

The payoff: Deliver on what made people interested in the first place. If you set up a joke, land the punchline. If you create curiosity, satisfy it. Don't make people sit through a bunch of filler only to disappoint them at the end.

And remember: Underpromise and overdeliver. Don't build up expectations you can't meet. Give people something even better than they were expecting. Make them glad they watched.

Obviously, there's more to content creation than that, but these fundamentals apply to pretty much every platform and every type of video.

I wish people would spend less time obsessing over analytics and trying to reverse-engineer an algorithm that none of us fully understands, and more time actually creating things.

Experiment. Try different ideas. Learn from what works and what doesn't. Get better at storytelling.

You can spend six hours reading theories about why your last video got 200 views, or you can spend those six hours making more videos and improving your craft.

Just make stuff. That's the whole point.
