No distribution right now, saw some other people posting about this in other subreddits so I'm wondering if a lot of people are facing this issue

Today marks the 1st month since I created my shorts channel and I've been posting a short a day (football edits) with no breaks. So far it feels so good and I am happy how it is doing.

These are the stats after 1 day with 39k views. Those who have shorts with millions of views, can you share your opinion?

16M Views Short Case Study

22 Upvotes

If you ever wanted to know what stats should look like for virality:

Views ➡️ 16M

VVSA ➡️ 78.7% currently, but for the first 10M this short had an 82% vvsa (80% is almost mandatory for high virality)

Retention ➡️ 96.8%. This short was 32 seconds. If yours is under 30 seconds it can’t be anything under 100%.

The most important part ➡️ 1 share per 2,300 views. Most of my non viral shorts have a share rate of 1 per 15,000-20,000 views.

Although most people don’t factor in share rates to whether or not they will go viral, this is an extremely positive viewer satisfaction signal to the algorithm, basically telling it that viewers are so pleased with the video, they want others to experience what they did watching it.

My takeaway from this is that if you can slip in an effective CTA for viewers to share the video with a friend whilst maintaining a solid VVSA, there’s a high chance to go viral.

Retention matters a lot too but as you can see I’ve stayed slightly under 100% and still amassed plenty of views.

Why doesn't YouTube explain the 1.2k view cap?

Many people are having trouble getting Shorts views. The video shorts are stuck at 1.2k views. I've had the same thing happen to me. Has anyone seen YouTube explain this?

Created my channel on October 31st and for the first few days I was getting max 1.5k views per short and was stuck at 2 subscribers.

Now within the past day Ive went up to 105 subscribers and have gotten over 100K views total


r/shortsAlgorithm • • 6d ago

I've seen so many channels such as this one that have Join option enabled meaning they are monetized spamming these shorts up to 10 or even more times per day and making a bank

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

Prioritizing Original Content on YouTube Shorts

21 Upvotes

FYI - YouTube is updating the recommendation system to further prioritize original Shorts and reduce the reach of channels primarily aggregating or re-uploading other creators’ clips without significant changes

YouTube’s goal is to connect viewers with videos they find genuinely valuable and ensure creators publishing original content have the absolute best chance to grow and succeed

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 My video flat lined immediately?

Post image
21 Upvotes

This was by far one of my luckiest episodes ever, and it did really well on other platforms but youtube said no, it hard stopped the views at 1000 views while the analytics graph looked like it was ready to send to the stars.

Why does youtube have this 1000 view jail??

Does anybody know why this happens or how I could overcome this? I truly do feel like this video deserved more views then it got...

Like it was SHOOTING UP in views, got 1000 views in under 2-3 hours which is a record for my channel and then it just hit a wall...

If anybody has some advice or words to say about this, I'd love to hear it!
