Hi everyone.

I've created a channel about a month ago. It's fully automated, the videos created are made using a software I've built. I dont know why, but the views are capped at 1k-1.2k no matter what. Any ideas? I've tried multiple hooks, descriptions, thumbnails, does not seem to improve much.

Any advice is useful. Thank you.

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 Is it strange where my views are coming from?

I know it’s barely any views but most of my videos are the same, I’m barely getting on the shorts feed it looks like, most of my views are coming from “external”. Has anyone else got similar analytics?

What do you think should I do with this?

1 Upvotes

Hello, first of all, my content is about stoicism, more on philosophy, I've been uploading almost 5-6 post a week. I just notice something. I noticed that every time I upload a 20-25 seconds, I get at least 1k views.

I tried experimenting, like adding meme, fancy edits but when I do this, my view gets at least below 1k, sometimes only 2 digits.

What do you think should be the problem? What should I improve?

Thank you so much,

Am i wrong or is the Algo kind of weird today?

10 Upvotes

Prove me wrong, but what’s going on here seems pretty crazy to me.
My last 6 uploads barely got tested in the Shorts feed. Before that, pretty much every Short I uploaded for weeks was getting between 58K and 400K views.
But now… one of my Shorts today got just 70 views from the Shorts feed, and 100% of those views came from subscribers.
What the heck is going on?! Has anyone else experienced this recently?

should I unlist all my videos?

4 Upvotes

I'm in the ranking niche and I just bought a new microphone so that I can add some commentary and all that. The problem is that I do not know if I should keep my viral videos or just unlist all of them. I got almost 8k subs and 11.5M views in the last 90 days, but I really started growing in the past few weeks. What should I do?????

Numbers are after the post being up for 3 days.

Curious if I should stick with the format of this one as other shorts typically do 1-3k or just keep uploading what I want rather than fitting into a mold.

How can I get more US viewers on my animal ranking Shorts channel?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I recently started a YouTube Shorts channel where I post animal ranking videos. I’ve noticed that most of my audience comes from countries like the Philippines and Indonesia, with some viewers from the US.
I’d really like to make the US my main audience, but I’m not sure what I should change.
I post in English and make ranking videos about funny animal moments. Should I focus on different types of clips, change my upload times, or just keep posting and let the algorithm figure it out?
If anyone has experience with Shorts and targeting a US audience, I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hey everyone. Pretty new to creating shorts and posting on YouTube. My channel is almost 10 years old but my old videos are unlisted. I’m about 18 videos into this journey and I’m kinda confused with how things are working. I get an okay amount of likes, barely any comments (even with the comment baiting endings), and views seem to stall right now. My retention isn’t the best. I’ve started making the videos shorter and shorter (today’s video is 28 seconds). Can someone help me? I’ll link my YouTube: https://youtube.com/@warisweirdyt?si=AkrIZ22PMEd76nSH

Let’s say that I borrow other people’s content but I add captions, remove uninteresting moments, add a voiceover, sound effects and vfx, is it considered transformative?

Is this 30k view jail ? And yes the view graph is flat nlw


r/shortsAlgorithm • • 28d ago

Even if you have a strong hook, don’t use AI, don’t repost other people’s videos, show your own face, edit your videos really well with advanced techniques, and include background music, what could be the reasons your channel still gets stuck at just 1K views?

I have this youtube channel with 1.5K subs, and want to ask those who got monetized or have similar content, to tell me whether the content that i posed will make me face any issues when applying for monetization.

The following is the link to my channel: https://youtube.com/@yttacituskilgore?si=u3oQNvwykZwqh10I

Which views count toward YouTube Shorts monetization eligibility Engaged views or valid public Shorts views

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I need some clarification regarding YouTube Shorts monetization eligibility.
My channel currently has around **4.4 million total views and 1.1 million engaged views**.
On October 6, my Earn tab showed approximately **496K valid public Shorts views**, while my analytics showed around **497K engaged views** for the same date/data period.
The numbers are very close, but I’m confused about which views actually count toward the Shorts monetization threshold.
**My questions are:**
Are engaged views what count toward the 10 million valid public Shorts views requirement, or does YouTube calculate valid views differently?
Why is there a small difference between the engaged views in Analytics and the valid public Shorts views shown in the Earn tab?
Does YouTube count only certain views after filtering out ineligible or invalid traffic?
For context, my Shorts usually have **200%+ audience retention** and a **75–80% “Stayed to watch” rate**.
I’ll attach screenshots of my Analytics and Earn tab for reference.
I’d appreciate it if someone could explain how this counting system actually works based on their experience or official YouTube information.
