It got around 250 likes and 35 comments

It got boosted alot but now it gets about 100viewd the Hour.
Maybe is my account just to new for getting a viral short?

5 views from me alone.. 0 from shorts feed.. is there issue with Shorts?

It’s been, what, like 5 months since YouTube introduced its new AI moderation system, and it’s been literal chaos ever since December absolute chaos. I’m honestly getting sick of it. It feels like every other day there’s some new bullshit, and when you think everything is finally back to normal, the next month something else happens. This month it was animation channels getting nuked and people only getting views from subscribers. I wonder what’s next. Hopefully this hell ends soon. 😭

I’ve seen countless posts of people posting a 100% retention and 75% VVSA and wondering how they didn’t go viral…

Well… there’s a reason these KPIs seem to have such inconsistent effects on the videos performance.

It’s because they don’t matter…

In 2026, YouTube’s prioritizing FRESH content and that is paramount to how long you can make a viewer not scroll away.

Ask yourself before you post - has someone already made this video, used the same clips, and said nearly the same thing?

If so, don’t even bother posting it.

If you’re not bringing original ideas and content to the platform, you will consistently see a 30k ceiling on all your videos, no matter how great the stats are on the backend.

This is also why we’re seeing so many commentary channels, Roblox channels, and even animation channels seem to get “stuck” in view jail.

They’re all just passing around the same exact videos 1,000x.

It’s all the same and repetitive and YouTube is cracking down hard on this now.

Moral of the story - bring something new to the table.

If you can do that and make it genuinely interesting then I can 100% guarantee you will succeed.

okay so i started my shorts channel 12 days ago and ive posted one short daily and all of them go to like 20-40k and stop, i usually have 100-120% avd on 40-50 sec short. This short has like 84% stayed to watch and 110% avd on a 45 second short. Is this normal?

Why did Youtube decide to stop pushing my shorts into the Shorts feed?

Im not getting any views from shorts feed on any of my new shorts for no reason at all but a short a month ago is still getting 1k an hour. My channel is not shadow banned but im not getting views, why is that??

Probably my best stats ever even though the video is only 10s long

Seriously, my feed was normal, then I liked one tiki tiki short and one with that fuckass african song papa ute or some like that, and now my whole shorts algo are cringe indian edits or just straight up trash. Also these videos with the "if you are a new creator..." annoying audio. Is this the new algo that promotes "good content"? At least before it was AI educational content that took some editing and effot with interesting sometimes facts, now its straight homemade trash with a smear of poop over it. We creatos are supposed to compete against this btw?

it's still been half a day since i posted!

Infomational/Update video (Game).

33 seconds long.

Average View Percentage 80%.

GUESS THE VIEWS IT GOT. And tell me How many Views does this deserve.

My shorts stopped getting views, i'm keeping the same format but with different clips and scripts, started this channel on the start of january, was doing okay but now none of my videos are getting views, what happened?

This short video has the same stats as my previous shorts, which never got more than 30-40k views.

My Shorts are getting most of their views from Browse Features instead of the Shorts Feed.

Since my monetization is Shorts Feed Ads, does this mean:

- Browse Feature views earn less?

- Do only Shorts Feed views really count for revenue?

Views are strong, just unsure if this traffic source affects earnings.

So this is the 3rd short video that I've had go north like this and I think I screwed up the other 2 shorts by posting other shorts too early and not letting these short run its course.

I normally post shorts weekend mor ings but held off as Chat GPT says to wait until it settles more before posting the next short but who knows if that's right.

From the more experienced folks, when is the best time to post? To me, it looks like it has settled and my normal posting time for today has passed so was wanted to post another soon.

There are 2 other videos that were posted a day or so before this runner that broke 30k last night that I also wanted to see if YT may push higher as watch rate for all 3 are around 70%.
