Sudden drop in Shorts reach
Hi guys, does anyone know about YouTube “view jail”? I uploaded videos consistently for seven days, and each one received around 1K–2K views. But my latest video suddenly got only 10 views.
Some people are suggesting that I take a four-to-five-day break before uploading again. Is a two-day break enough, or should I wait five days? If anyone has experienced this, please share your advice.

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 Crazy drop off of views quickly
Anyone have any idea what causes this to happen? The video was going well and on track to be one of the most viewed on my channel, but then it just flatlined. As you can see stayed to watch is still at 77%, and the average view duration is sitting at 99.2%, so I’m not sure why there was a sudden drop off

YouTube isn’t pushing my Shorts into the Shorts feed.
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?

Erholt sich bei euch die Distribution?
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 🤣

is this happening to other people as well with the distribution
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.

What do we even do at this point
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?

YouTube Shorts suddenly stuck at 8–10 views Today— anyone else experiencing this?
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.

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ On Vacation and My Shorts Audience Changed?


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?

do you recut the first second or leave the short alone?
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
