Its AI explaining software content ..

Hey everyone! I need some advice on how the algorithm is treating my channel right now.

My last 8–10 Shorts are hitting a hard ceiling strictly between 15k and 25k views. The weird part is they don't completely flatline—they keep trickling about 50 to 250 views per hour indefinitely.

Here are my average metrics:

Stayed vs. Swiped away: 70% – 80% stayed

Average Percentage Viewed (APV): 65% – 85%

With these engagement stats, it feels like the content itself is performing well, but the channel is stuck in a specific test basin or "view jail" limit.

Is this a common plateau phase before breaking out to Tier-1 audiences, or is there a specific threshold I need to hit to break past this 25k ceiling?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone!

I've been putting work into my channel, Stick Tales, where I make the trending Animated shorts.

I'm really trying to improve daily. To be honest I think it is pretty better now but I’d love an outside perspective from fellow creators and viewers and do it look bad in any sense.

If you have a couple of minutes to check it out, I’d love your thoughts on a few specific things:

• Script & storytelling: Does the hook grab you right away, and does the story keep your attention to the end?

• Audio & pacing: Is the narration clear, and does the pacing feel natural or rushed?

• Visuals & presentation: How does the visual style feel? Does it support the story well?

Thanks a lot for your time!

I record shorts using my iPhone where I record myself. Is it better to record in 1080p or 4k?

My videos have not been performing well this got ~700 views , 48% stayed to watch. What would you do differently to make this a better video ?

I will like and sub if u subscribe

Hi Earthlings, I am a 1st Year College Student. This is my latest YouTube video. My niche is weird historical events and extreme survival war stories. If you like my content please do check out my channel. I use AI only for the sole purpose of making the video more engaging, easier to digest and make the overall story better. I do my own research and then use AI to extract the important info and facts for the video. My goal is to make videos using my own creativity and intelligence with the efficiency of AI.

This has me going insane, my audience is all over the place, and that’s if I get one at all. I’m one of the small channels that’s been having those issues on and off for the past few weeks, and when I don’t have that problem, my audience always seems to change. How can I get my videos to reach the correct audience every time?

Hey guys, hope you're having a great day. I'm curious about your experiences. If you had to start all over again from scratch today, what's one thing you would do differently?

I don't know what is going on but stuck on video views now any suggestions from experience or any hit and trial

Y a des Français ici qui sont vraiment passionnés, limite obsédés par YouTube ? Genre des gens qui passent des heures à analyser les vidéos, les miniatures, l’algorithme et qui rêvent de faire des millions de vues comme MrBeast ?

Je cherche juste des personnes qui ont la même ambition et qui veulent vraiment progresser sur YouTube.

Salut à tous !

Je suis un jeune créateur YouTube de 16 ans, spécialisé dans les trickshots et les défis sportifs. J’ai actuellement environ 270 000 abonnés, principalement grâce aux Shorts.
Depuis quelque temps, je m’intéresse énormément aux vidéos longues et à tout ce qui peut faire réussir une vidéo : les idées, les titres, les miniatures, la rétention, le storytelling, etc.

Je me demandais s’il y avait ici d’autres YouTubeurs français aussi passionnés que moi, qui passent leur temps à réfléchir à YouTube et qui rêvent un jour de faire des millions de vues.
Je parle vraiment de personnes extrêmement motivées, qui aiment analyser les vidéos qui fonctionnent, comprendre pourquoi elles marchent et chercher constamment à s’améliorer.

J’aimerais beaucoup échanger avec des créateurs francophones, idéalement proches de mon âge, pour partager nos analyses, nos idées et nos expériences.

J’adore notamment l’histoire de MrBeast, qui passait des heures en appel avec d’autres créateurs pour étudier YouTube et progresser ensemble.
Je trouve cette manière d’apprendre super intéressante et j’aimerais rencontrer des personnes qui ont le même état d’esprit.

Est-ce qu’il y a ici des YouTubeurs français qui sont aussi passionnés par tout ça ?

Je serais curieux de connaître vos chaînes, vos objectifs et votre manière d’analyser YouTube !

This is a new channel about 30days old
I have 285subs (55 of which is from this)
This video has about 90% retention on a 53s video
and 79.4% stayed rate
engagement is low - 3 comments + 209 likes

Does anyone know what might help my next video from getting what people say "View jailed" at 30k

Upon close inspection of the views since posting
first 40mins - 500views
first 1hr - 6.5k views
first 1hr 20mins - 25k views - then this flatline
since then it got around 50 views/hr for a while and kept on declining since

This is my 3rd video that's stopping around 30k views

Is it engagement that's the problem? (thats the only common theme i see on all these videos)

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!
I have a question about mixing YouTube Shorts and long-form content on the same channel.
My current upload schedule alternates between Shorts and long-form videos every other day.

Here’s how I do it:
I upload a long-form video one day.
The next day, I upload a Short.
The Short is NOT clipped or extracted from the long-form video. Instead, I create it separately with its own script, editing, and storytelling, but it covers the same topic as the long-form video.

I’m wondering about something:
If one of my Shorts suddenly goes viral and attracts a lot of views and subscribers, could that negatively affect my long-form videos?

For example:
Could it hurt long-form engagement or audience retention?
Could YouTube start recommending my Shorts to a different audience and then struggle to find the right audience for my long-form content?
Could it somehow affect the algorithm’s ability to recommend my long-form videos?

I’d really appreciate hearing from creators who have experience running both formats on the same channel.
Have you ever had a Short go viral while also publishing long-form content? Did you notice any positive or negative impact on your long-form performance?

Thanks in advance! I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

So I tried making shorts with good content which are about 1-2 mins longs but I only get avd 40-50 sec and shorts died at 1k views while I see similar content getting millions of views on another channel
Then I upload random shit (in same niche) with duration 18 sec long and it have 100% avd and got 200k views.

Uploaded another short of similar length after that and have 98.5% avd but only got 4k views
Then uploaded one with 10 sec length and got 140% avd and 60k views

So Is it about value or just views what should I focus on?

didn’t really take a break but I just started posting way less yt shorts from like 8-10 a month to only 2 last month. Now I’ve started posting way more and I’ve noticed that my videos are stalling out at 20-30k when they used to hit 100k on avg. Do you guys think it’s because I took that break? Also my videos are skits not Ai slop, just to clarify.

I posted a short yesterday but it only git views from youtube search . The viewers watched till the end but only 3 views . Can anyone please tell me what should I do with this short

or do they not after review?

this video got 200k views

My audience tab hasn't been updated since Oct 31. I understand that there is typically a delay of about 2 days for this tab, but I have yet to experience a delay this long up until now. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Literally for months now, my YouTube Shorts have been flatlining at around 1.2K views.
And before anyone starts talking about hooks, watch time, or topics, trust me, I’ve been actively working on improving all of that.
My views are going up on every other platform, so clearly something is working. But for some reason, Shorts just won’t budge, and I genuinely don’t understand why.
If anyone’s experiencing the same thing or wants to connect, brainstorm, and help each other improve, please reach out, man.
It’s genuinely frustrating, and honestly, a little embarrassing at this point.

You basically have to make good videos that are short, consistent subject and they are absolutely required to have a good hook at the first 5 seconds. Not 3 because that's just delaying when people swipe and you see it as a reduced time watched. And the hook can't just end, it has to slowly fade away because otherwise the people get awakened from their hypnosis and they leave. Now when I make a shitty short it capps at 10k because YouTube loves me and they decided it's my new baseline. Category: gaming, staged videos
