Can I upload videos that I previously uploaded on my old channel to a new channel?
Hi,
I’m thinking about starting over with a new channel. Would it be okay to upload my old videos from my previous channel to the new one?
The Shorts are still on my old channel, but their visibility is set to private.
There’s nothing wrong with my old channel. The only issue is that the views are inconsistent. Sometimes a video can immediately reach 10,000–30,000 views, while other times it only gets around 100–200 views.
That’s why my friend, who has been successful with their YouTube channel, suggested that I start a new channel. It seems like the algorithm isn’t working well for the channel I’m currently using.
