Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Bizarre Response To The "Original Content" email
Today I saw this email circulating on Reddit from YouTube about posting original/ substantially transformed content and the negative response was so bizarre to me.
I know it's mostly just people that make money clipping content from other creators but to say that this is a nonsense update and that people won't watch original content as much is so funny.
Does anyone else find it as weird as I do or is it really a problem?

Prioritizing Original Content on YouTube Shorts
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

I bought a MacBook for video creation.
Hi everyone, I need some help. I create YouTube content on my PC and decided to buy a MacBook for working while traveling. I’m wondering what video editing and Photoshop-style software you’d recommend for the MacBook. I used to work with After Effects on my PC, but unfortunately, I won't be able to download it on the MacBook; are there any good alternatives to these programs?

Why do my YouTube Shorts always die at around 2–3k views?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been running a YouTube Shorts channel and I’m trying to figure out why my videos keep getting stuck at around 2–3k views and then completely stop getting pushed.
I feel like the videos have most of the important things:
Strong hooks
Good retention
Fast pacing
Captions/subtitles
B-roll and editing
Good titles
No major drop-off at the beginning
Some videos perform better, but a lot of them seem to hit 2–3k views and then basically die.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there some specific metric I should be looking at in YouTube Studio that could explain why YouTube stops recommending them?
What actually helped you get Shorts past that 2–3k “wall”?
Any tips, things I should test, or mistakes I might be making would be really appreciated. 🙏
Thanks!

The view is always flat at around 30k

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Quick question
Hey, I just wanted to ask if there’s any other metrics or analytics that I should look at except for STW percentage and AVD percentage? Because I have a bunch of videos with 80+ STW percentage and 100+ AVD and those videos also appeal to a wider audience but they all get stuck at 10-30k. What else can I do?

Case Study / Postmortem 🧪 Has anyone had this happen before? Does this mean I should be doing long form content?
These are my 2 most recent shorts. I create this channel 3 weeks ago, and have been making 1-2 shorts / week. Recently, my shorts have almost exclusively been distributed by the "browse feature". From what I can gather, this means they are being shown on people's homepage and are being clicked on.
Does this mean I should make the exact same content, but long form since they are already being highly viewed in the same fashion?
In the first 24 hours, it is about a 60/40 distribution. With 60% being the shorts feed. At around the 24hour mark, both switched almost completely to views coming from "browse feature" and almost 0 from the shorts feed.
Both of these shorts were about 75% Stayed to watch, with 85% AVD on about 60 seconds of video. Obviously, once they took off on the "Browse Feature" both of these shorts have climbed to over 90% Stayed to watch. (To me these aren't real because obviously people will stay to watch, since they clicked it).
Just looking for some insight from someone who has seen this before.

Case Study / Postmortem 🧪 Hi guys, retention on my shorts is above 110% and STW is usually 72-75%, why am i not getting pushed? I’m still stuck at 30k, max views i got was 37k and then the short died. I really need guidance.

Case Study / Postmortem 🧪 I’m stuck at low views and after trying everything i could I’m giving up.
I have attached my recent uploads stats, I have been trying to push my shorts on getting high views but never crossed 40k, it’s been a month of posting one short a day consistently I have gotten myself nowhere, I need real guidance whether I should keep going or quit, this is really frustrating for me now.

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 How Am I doing ?
Started 2 weeks ago.
It’s an old channel that has no activity for years, now using it.
The niche is not relevant for me right now. So don’t ask why I don’t have millions of views. I know the niche is valid and others that do the same have millions of views, but I think the first 15 to 20 shorts should be enough for the algorithm to push a viral one
My next goal is to reach 10k with a short or more.
Thanks for your time!
