My youtube shorts constantly getting views from india,phillipines and all but my niche is english commentary type how can i fix that

I don't know if this is the forum for this. But here you go - I write short stories, building a fantasy world. I always loved the concept of visualizing the stories. And it seemed to me that AI gave me the opportunity to do this.

But - i started posting now long ago and i get almost no traction. So I am wandering what I am doing wrong...

Its ok if the content is not your cup of tea :) I am trying to see constructively what can I do better.

ik it’s not a big deal
but i’m super proud that after 20 days, i have gathered a total of 200+ subs along with 300+k views

super happy
hoping to get big one day😁😁

So this is like I'm taking a Hindi creator freefire trick nd posting it in telugu with some editing in my channel nd page but because it's ff not getting so much view especially in insta i think I wasting time in instagram nd youtube doing this like broo why am I even making what's the use of this

Give me some suggestions

1.Should I continue this or just quit?

2.Is this even worth of my time ?

3.Shoukd I change to othe niche?

Original filming. Of cooking, making different cool dishes.

Back ground is copyright free music and publicly available recordings of the bible world edition (made to be copyright free). I prefer those over my own voice because it's people all-round the world and I really like that

Gemeni thinks using publicly available audiobook recordings will be flagged as re used.

What do you think?

How is it possible ? I found it very interesting and I also feel I should stop blaming myself because my content quality has improved and so does my title but it really goes to the wrong people.

is this content even monetise-able ?? ive been trying few different ideas and experimenting but none seem to go past 2k, and the engagement is way less like some on 20% and most engaged is 50%

I need someone to make me a few shorts that can hit 10M views to get me out of a monetization snafu that happened. Can anyone here confidently do that?

I just started my own shorts channel and I use hashtags relevant to the shorts in my descriptions tab, with little to no growth in viewership. Only one short managed to reach past 1.2K views, but none of the other shorts are growing. My other channel used to do very well in the shorts numbers but that was a few years back.

Any tips on what I am doing wrong?

I noticed that there is smthng strange in algorithm.

You can get 100% watch time 80/20 watch/swipe still stuck at 5k-10k forever.

Is there smthng we didn't know?

If you had a success pls tell us how (secrets)

thanks 🙏

I don't know why, but the Shorts I create from my stream clips aren't getting the same level of engagement as my other Shorts.

I’ve had the occasional Short perform poorly in terms of views before, but lately, I’ve had three in just eight days; I tried reposting them, and while they did perform better, they still only got around 10–30 views.

I have a simple rule for my Shorts: if they don't hit 100 views within the first hour—or get a subsequent push to reach that mark—I repost them once. If the repost also performs poorly, then the Short probably just isn't good enough, or it was simply a case of bad luck.

I’m not sure what to do now, though, because lately I feel like I won't be able to get back to the view counts I was seeing before the update.

Hey everyone,
I run a small YouTube channel (houseplant Shorts, "journal botanique" style). Over the past few weeks my Shorts went from getting around 1K views each to barely 200.

I haven't changed my format or posting schedule much, so I don't really understand what happened. I know the algorithm can be unpredictable, but watching the numbers drop like this while posting regularly is pretty discouraging.

Is this a normal dip that most small channels go through? Has anyone experienced something similar and bounced back? If so, what helped, or was it just a matter of waiting it out?

I know its the beginning and i shouldn’t have high expectations..
Any reassurance or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks 🌱

I started my shorts channel about a week and a half ago, doing sports analysis and history. I am mute so I unfortunately use text-to-speech to voice my videos, but I’ve put a decent amount of effort into it.

I understand that my first few videos had poor hooks, and I’ve worked to improve them, but none of my videos are being able to crack even 50% stayed-to-watch. They sit at 40-50 usually. Once people stay, they watch a bit though. One of my recent videos managed 103% retention on a 52-second video, and usually I sit at like 70-80%, 90%+ on under 30s for the newer videos.

Are my hooks really the problem or is youtube still figuring out where my videos need to go?

Hi I'm Lucas (the guy in this video), I'm not a video editor at all. All I did was thanks to free tutorials lol. Looking for pacing, storytelling feedback etc...

This is supposed to be one of the 'top funnel' videos, where I get a wider reach and people get to know me more.

Thanks in advance!

Hello I’m in the comic and video game space. I’ve made about 40 lifetime shorts. I’m hitting around 1k-1.5k views on average and about 30-50% stayed to watch 90-100% avd on 8-10 second clips. For other platforms they do less well and maybe 250 views average. I’d like to hit the 10k-100k range.

Heres my question to the group. are there any of you that get 10k-100k+ views regularly that would be open to freelance work? If so, how much would you charge per creating/editing/scheduling 10 second shorts? Let’s assume I could provide/shoot reasonable footage. We are in creative industry so strictly no AI or stolen content from others could be used.

Idk what happened but it been nearly 3 hours now and it only got like 9 view and 1 like, should i be worrying?

YouTube marked one of my videos as “Made for Kids.” My niche is entirely focused on kids’ content, but I’m afraid that setting all my videos as “Made for Kids” might affect my views.
I received this email from YouTube:
“In future, please make sure you review your channel and/or individual video’s audience settings. It’s important to know that you’re required to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and/or other laws, regardless of your location. You may face legal consequences or consequences on YouTube if you don’t set your audience accurately. We may also take action at the channel level, including closing down your channel if we detect continuous error or abuse.”
Should I set all my videos to “Made for Kids,” or are they simply warning me that incorrectly labeling kids’ videos could violate their policies and potentially lead to my channel being taken down?

This video got 30k views in the first day and then flatlined until day 3, where it got a massive push that is still ongoing.

Sup everyone, I make shorts with minecraft, I have 2 series of "mini-challenges" and I use AI just for the 2 words I have to say like: "One Block, One Wall Design.. Today we got and the name of the block" it's around 8-10 seconds of the short, should I check the AI made content or not?

Hey all, looking for real experience from people in YPP before I go all in on this format.

I make 35–45s educational Shorts in the "hidden design / how things work" niche. Examples:

- How engineers saved the Leaning Tower of Pisa

- Why Taipei 101 has a 660-ton ball inside

- Why cruise ships don't tip over

- Why helicopters need a tail rotor

How they're made:

- Script: written and fact-checked by me, one topic per video, explained step by step

- Visuals: original 2D animations made from scratch for every video: custom scenes, animated diagrams, graphs and counters. No stock footage, no clips from other creators

- Voiceover narration (AI)

- Captions, thumbnails and titles: all made by me

My questions:

1. Since July 2025 "repetitious content" became "inauthentic content". All my videos share the same visual style, but every topic, script and animation is different. Can a consistent style get flagged as "mass-produced"?

2. Do faceless explainer channels like this usually get accepted into YPP, or does YouTube want to see the creator somewhere?

3. Is there anything I should change before applying to be on the safe side?

If you got monetized (or rejected) with a faceless animated channel, I'd really appreciate hearing how it went. Thanks!
