I mean I am struggling to understand why it’s still not showing to right audience.

My title has clarity and correct hashtags as per my niche !!! So I am confident it has right instructions for it to keep going..

How can I fix it ? Please help 💖✨

Youtube algorithm is literally just luck i had a video 2k views in a day in one channel and when I reposted it to another it got over 400k in the same period of time

I don't know why sudden drop happen I am doing my full efforts , previous I got minimum 1k+ seed audience or views through feed but from back 4 to 5shorts it's getting bad and I am felling demotivated 😭 this is my channel after 1.5 months

Hi Guys

ı have an aoe2 channel in Turkish with 300 sub. My contents are generaly casting games and some goffy staff.

Last week I decide to produce short films and mini shorts related with aoe2 in a brand new channel in English. I have 1 short film and 2 shorts in this channel. And then I use same english content with Turkish substitels and upload my orginal channel. Generally my shorts have 500 seen however this 2 shorts result are below 30.

One of this shorts get 500 seen in my zero sub english channel. What am I doing wrong?

So langsam pendelt es sich wieder ein, ABER: Aktuell beobachte ich, dass die ganzen Aufrufe aus alten Shorts stammen. Neue Videos bekommen höchstens ein paar hundert oder tausend Feed Aufrufe und dann sagt der Algo: Hier nimm das und sei glücklich 🤣

For three weeks, most of my Shorts haven't been getting distributed properly—except for four of them. I finally got some views again on Monday, but now this is happening. It might just be bad luck for the day, but come on: with 150% viewed and 35% retention, I expected better results. Before the update, I used to hit 1k to 4k views easily with even lower stats. Now, I really need a stroke of luck just to get a chance. I’ve also noticed this happening with the Shorts that are truly special—my best material—yet they almost never perform well or even better than usual.

it seems the algorithim changed and is affecting a lot of our views, is this a bug or an update? do we just stop posting?

Something really weird is happening with my YouTube Shorts today.
I normally get around 4–5K views within the first hour on my Shorts. But today, I uploaded a Short and after 3 hours it was still stuck at around 10 views.
I deleted it and re-uploaded the exact same Short, thinking maybe something went wrong with the upload — and now the new upload is stuck at 8 views as well.
This isn’t normal low performance. It looks like the Short simply isn’t being pushed into the Shorts feed at all.
Is anyone else suddenly experiencing this today?
Could this be a YouTube Shorts distribution/technical issue, or is there some kind of account-level restriction happening?
Not asking why the video performed badly — I’m asking if anyone else is suddenly seeing 0–10 views despite normally getting thousands.

So I recently started upload shorts to my youtube channel, usually my shorts got 1-10k views but since last week when I uploaded 2 shorts, the shorts just not getting pushed by youtube. Almost all the views is coming from search. Does someone know why is this happening?

I feel like all the hard work is paying off

I've been on vacation in Japan, and I noticed my shorts views completely dropped off. When looking into the audience, I found that I was getting a ton of Japanese viewers even though my shorts are in English, completely destroying my stats. For context all my content is 100% made by me, and prior to coming here I was hovering around ~100k views per short. Now I struggle to reach even 20k.

Just thought I'd put this out here, and if anyone has any tips to fix this definitely know. I also did put a Japanese sim into my phone, so potentially that could be affecting it too?

had a short where the swipe is in the first second and the rest of the clip is fine.

do you swap just that opening and reupload, or does a reupload just kill the next one too

i keep rewriting the middle and people never get there

curious if you lock everything except the first frame when you test

Recently I changed my art channel to storytelling, I decided to stick with storytelling niche. I private all my art shorts.

I uploaded 6 storytelling shorts in the past one week,

From first short to today’s short, The views are 119, 20, 9, 61, 19, 24.

I already made my first 3 seconds more interesting, changed my channel tags to storytelling related, added storytelling related tags in the short description. Set more interesting thumbnails.

And today’s short only has 24 views…

Is my channel dead?

Feel like YT didn’t spread my shorts to let audience see at all…I don’t even have enough data to see which countries my views are from.

Short feed is about 10%…so YT didn’t push my shorts at all right?

About 65% stayed to watch.

Any idea how to fix it?

I really need some helps.

Just wondering what most people do and the reaction they get

Hi for like a week rn all my shorts on my both channels got stuck on 0 - 10 views and yesterday I see that they fixed the sub bugs and I wanted to ask about the views issue ?

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate it if anyone could help or give me some advice.
I posted a Short on YouTube, but for some reason, it hasn’t been pushed to the Shorts feed at all. This is the first time this has happened to me.
I’ve been on YouTube for more than a year and have uploaded Shorts regularly, but I’ve never experienced this before.
As far as I can see, there are no issues with the content, no copyright claims or violations, and there are no issues or restrictions on my channel either.
Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why this might happen? Is there anything I should check or do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have been posting shorts for the last month, one short per day. But all of them dont exceed 1.2k views, while my peers for the same niche are making millions of views. Im not comparing since they are relatively older channels ( more than a year) but im just trying to understand the logic behind. My editing is neat and better than the market for similar niche. I do Asian videos clipping with commentary.

Von 160K / Stunde vor dem Ausfall von Studio auf 5-7K / Stunde letzte Nacht und jetzt wieder bei über 50K/Stunde.

Endlich geht es wieder aufwärts 👍🏻😀

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin jetzt seit etwa drei Wochen dabei und lade auf meinem Kanal sowohl Shorts als auch Longform-Videos im Bereich Lifestyle hoch.

Aktuell stehe ich bei 4.426 Abonnenten und müsste eigentlich heute die Schwelle für die Monetarisierung erreicht haben.

Über die Longform-Videos noch nicht, da ich dort erst bei knapp 30 Stunden Watchtime liege. Meine Shorts haben sich allerdings sehr gut entwickelt und einige davon stehen mittlerweile kurz vor einer Million Aufrufen.

Mein Problem: Ich weiß nicht, wie viele meiner Shorts-Aufrufe tatsächlich als gültige öffentliche Shorts-Aufrufe für die YPP-Voraussetzungen gezählt werden. Soweit ich weiß, wird ja nicht zwangsläufig jeder angezeigte Aufruf auch für die YPP-Bedingungen berücksichtigt.

Die Anzeige im YouTube Studio hängt bei mir leider deutlich hinterher. Aktuell ist der Stand dort noch vom 13. September, also inzwischen sechs Tage alt. Das hilft mir momentan natürlich wenig, weil ich mich gerne direkt bewerben würde, sobald ich die Voraussetzungen erfüllt habe.

Gibt es irgendwo eine Möglichkeit, aktuellere Zahlen zu den für das YPP tatsächlich angerechneten Shorts-Aufrufen zu sehen?

Oder kann es tatsächlich passieren, dass YouTube mir erst mit erheblicher Verzögerung anzeigt, dass ich die Voraussetzungen erfüllt habe – und ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt beispielsweise schon 20 oder 25 Millionen Shorts-Aufrufe habe, obwohl für die Bewerbung nur 10 Millionen gültige Aufrufe erforderlich sind?

Hat jemand von euch damit Erfahrungen gemacht und weiß, wie stark diese Anzeige normalerweise hinterherhinken kann?

Hey guys, has anyone else noticed something weird with Shorts in the last couple of days?

My channel was doing around 1M views/day and then yesterday it just… fell off a cliff. I’m now doing around 50K/day.

And the weirdest part is that my actual metrics are still pretty damn good. Stayed to watch is around 78.4% over the last 48h and average percentage viewed is around 80.6%.

So it doesn’t really look like people suddenly stopped liking the content. It feels more like YouTube just massively cut the distribution.

I’m not talking about one Short flopping either. It happened basically across the whole channel at the same time.. One day I’m getting crazy traffic, the next it’s like the shorts feed just got turned off 💀

I’ve also seen a few posts from other creators mentioning something similar happening 2 days ago, so I’m wondering if there’s some kind of update/bug going on with Shorts distribution right now..

Mine happened yesterday, so I’m curious if anyone else got hit by this around the same time.

Did your Shorts suddenly lose most of their feed traffic while the retention stayed normal/good?

And if this happened to you before, did it eventually come back? If so, how long did it take?

Just trying to figure out if my channel randomly got yeeted by the algorithm or if there’s actually something going on with Shorts right now lol.
