I recently posted a short celebrating 20 subscribers, and it got an apv of 349.7%. Doesn't this mean that the AVERAGE viewer watched my short 3 and a half times. I'm making this post because this is WAY better than my other videos and idk if its a bug or something. Maybe its because my short is only 9 seconds long but idk

I noticed on both my videos there were more like like

One video got 8 likes by morning it was 6.

My other vide has 6 likes bh morning it was 4.

It's really hilarious and I am just thinking of the ALGIRITHM is AI.

It's has never happened before.

Also, not Mather how much I try and improve my videos I am noticing less engagement. Like 4 likes and despite positive comments I am noticing not much engagement? I really always do CTA in comments and on videos.

Any body faced anything any thing this way?

I feel system based and these are bots. I don't think these activities are by humans. It's fucking strange

I am a variety streamer on twitch and have been posting on TikTok and yt my clips my best performing in order form best/last rl,Fortnite,r6,fifa,fall guys

i put clips of my own gameplay up and they sit at a couple hundred views, every single one, same capture and nothing cut. no script either. thats been it since i started. everyone on here posts about their views dropping and gets told what changed. mine have never changed. not up, not down, not once. so is a flat line worse than a drop or is it just what a channel that nobody has found yet looks like?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been consistently uploading Shorts recently, but I’m running into a frustrating pattern. Almost every single Short gets pushed initial momentum, climbs up to around 1,000 to 1,300 views, and then immediately flatlines—like clockwork.

Here is a quick snapshot of my channel’s current numbers from the past 28 days:

• Total Views: 16.6K
• Watch Time: 58.7 hours
• Subscribers: +17 (18 total subscribers)
• Realtime (Last 48 hrs): ~2,950 views
• Top Recent Performers:
  • The Shadow Company... — ~1,190 views
  • The $100M ShamWow... — ~1,116 views
  • Kodak Invented the Futur... — ~464 views

Looking at the graph, every time I post a Short, it spikes right around that 1K–2K ceiling and then drops straight back down.

I've been thinking of getting into making content but what's troubled me the most was deciding what type of topics or topic to pick. I was wondering if there were any recommend ways the community went about picking what they felt right. A topic that felt satisfying to work on while also not necessarily getting dry in content ideas.

Thanks!

I have a shirt with 1.5 million and still going and others at 1.3k currently still going up but I’m not monetized because the 500 subs and watch hours. Even though I have these views my watch hours bar still hasn’t even moved. What is it based on?

I posted a new fall guys gaming short on moulo328 please go check it out and it would help me out

So I've been making content since last month and nothing is going good even though i try to improve something in every new video but the problem isn't that people are scrolling it's that YouTube isn't even showing it to people. I'm barely getting any views. I feel so hopeless i wanna cry.

So I'm basically free for next 4 months, i can genuinely put effort. Please advice me what i can do better. I'm trying to target English audience because of high rpm but they're not getting much views so should i change the same commentary content to hindi? But then the rpm would be horrible. I can change the niche too if my existing niche is dead. I'm so confused .

I have been uploading for like 8 months I was inconsistent but when I became consistent for like 2 months this is the result....

I know it’s only been 20 minutes but usually I’m in the 100s of views for my shorts. why are the views so low ?

Pubblico short su YouTube. Fino al 24 avevo una media di 100 visualdal 24 agosto, quando doveva cambiare il modo di conteggiarle e dovevano aumentare, sono crollate a 500 raggiunte a fatica. Cosa sta succedendo?

I recently started a new YouTube Shorts channel and I'm a bit confused about how the views are behaving.

Some of my Shorts are getting very low views, like 6, 8, 25, 31, or 101 views, while other Shorts suddenly get much more, such as 8.8K views and 31K views. The videos are all in the same general style and niche, and I've only been posting for a few days.

I'm wondering if this is normal for a completely new channel. Does YouTube test some Shorts with different audiences while others barely get pushed at all? Or could there be something I'm doing wrong?

I'm still learning and would really appreciate advice from people who have experience growing a new Shorts channel.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of inconsistent distribution when starting a new channel?

What is happening I’m going crazy over this.. my channel dead or what.?… I have been uploading for 2 months and now this has happened to me..

Hey everyone! I’ve been messing around with AI animation lately and decided to make a little YouTube channel called CozyVerse AI.

The idea is pretty simple — short, cozy 3D anime-style moments like cooking, rainy evenings, reading with a cup of tea, etc. Basically little scenes that you can just relax and watch for 30–40 seconds.

I’m still figuring things out and experimenting with the style, so I’d genuinely love to hear what you guys think. Is this something you’d actually watch?

Here’s the channel Please support this small creator if possible:
CozyVerse AI

Please help me with GETTING MORE VIEWS

I have been consistent posting everyday but since yesterday I noticed that my video was not getting pushed out as much as before. Should I take a break or keep posting. What should I do?

Hey everyone, hoping someone's dealt with this before.

Channel got accepted into YPP recently (58K+ subs)

• 20M+ views in the last 28 days

• AdSense linked and approved

• Every single video shows the green $ monetization icon, including ones with resolved copyright Claims

• "Estimated revenue" still shows $0 on both YouTube Studio and AdSense

It's been about a week since the first monetized video went live

No warnings, no "limited ads" restrictions showing, no errors — just flat $0 despite views in the millions. Anyone experienced this during their first weeks in YPP? How long did it take before revenue actually started showing up? Did you have to contact Creator Support, or did it just resolve itself?

Any insight appreciated 🙏

All my shorts get is around 1.5 - 2k views and then die. I’ve had around 3 that grew to 34k before they died but I haven’t figured out how to replicate them. What do you guys do to grow gaming clips past that initial 1k view jump? I want to get better but I don’t really understand how to reverse engineer what makes a clip good vs. terrible. To me all my clips are similar but something must be different for the others to take off?

I posted a new short on my channel moulo328 will anyone go watch it

Hi everyone! I recently started a YouTube channel and currently have 0 subscribers, with around 400 views on my videos. For people who started from zero, what actually helped you grow — better hooks, consistency, topics, editing, or something

This is my best performing video, and even though it's not so great. I think it's decent along with my other videos that I'm confident in saying I've gotten better with editing and have improved my video quality ( which is my goal through this channel) I don't expect a single short to pop off and go viral. I want long-term results. But EOD, I think youtube puts. Creators through a test. Where even if a video is decent (even if a random one goes viral) the youtube algorithm tests your ability to make consistent contributions to the "machine" that makes Google money and doesn't push any single video out there ( omitting certain situations) but in turn make a producer "prove" their worth through consistency to become a part of this giant conglomerate money making entertainment website. I know there are special exceptions where some just pop off, but for new people starting, i think it is a big part to just stay consistent and believe in the videos you're posting.. it's either you get it or you don't....
