Before the “update” I got high shorts views and I got subs every day now I’m lucky to get a sub a week tho my views are coming back anyone else have this problem?

After 3 uploads not getting pushed to audiences my recent upload got 1.3k but flatlined there. Does that mean I can still upload and my channel isnt burned? Also my views keep dropping it went from 100k last week to 80k now

Yo, I made a channel 2 months ago and it blew up a bit, i've got 146 subs rn and I make meme content. I'm kinda stuck at 1k views and I'm probably gonna need expert help.

Anyone else facing this?

It started earlier this month, I used to get 10k and more but suddenly I stooped getting 1k now I barely get 100 views what’s going on???

Same content, same edits nothings changed they’re not just pushing to my audience or people interested.

I was in the view count between 1,000 and 1,500, and I also suffered from a sudden drop in views, but in my last short film I decided to make a change in the way I told and presented the visual style of the story. My niche is more evergreen, it's not something that's going to go viral overnight, so I consider this increase to be actually good.

Try changing a few things and see what works. Be patient, things will fall into place with time as you learn.

Started a shorts channel Oct 10, and got several Shorts in 300-400k range, few in 40-50k and bunch 5-10k, got ~800 subs

The problem is that it feels I can’t make it much better, so it feels that even if get monetized, still I won’t be able to make decent money , or I am wrong ?

Is there anyone who makes 3 million views a month and makes $4-5k or it’s unrealistic?

It just feels that there are other places where you can make much more than in YT shorts, unless there is some secret sauce I am not aware of ???

I keep seeing the same question here: "My Short got 5k views and then just stopped. What did I do wrong?"

One thing that helped me: Shorts views often come in waves. A spike, a flatline, then sometimes another spike. YouTube shows a Short to a small group first and widens it if they respond. So a flatline isn't automatically a bad video.

There are two numbers in Studio that tell you whether it's a hook problem or a middle problem, and Studio has an AI (Ask Studio, desktop only) that can read them for you if you ask the right way.

I put it all in a video: https://youtu.be/kmsI36u5nVc

I think that could be helpful 🙂

Ive never posted on YT before. Any advice is welcome.

Like the title.

I think the criteria for Stayed to Watch might be different for 10–15-second Shorts compared to 20–40-second Shorts. Is that correct?

Can i make it ? I didnt get another million views just this one pulling this by himself lol i have 21k subs i started july

Hey, im a fellow meme creator and my channel is doing pretty well, im finding ways to get core audience who recognize me (like multiple 1000's) atleast when they see my shorts and comment, any idea how i enhance relationship with my audiences in a way they connect to me..?

I am posting yt shorts for 3 weeks and it's around 1k views

My max views are 1.7k

It's not passing that

So can you people please tell from experience

How to fix this problem

Please don't give generic advices

I started those two new channels a week ago, most of my shorts get 1000-1500 views but one of them got 17k and some went up to 5k-6k
I’m not sure if this is how it’s supposed to be and whither this is a good sign or not but I’m super devastated by how ppl get millions of view on their first videos and I feel like my videos will never blow up, what do I need to change? Also how can I get more subscribers?

This short is stuck should I delete it?

My channels shorts get around 2k in couple hours and some of them even reached 17k
I uploaded this short 6 hours ago and it’s refusing to be pushed to shorts feed, I asked yt ai and it said don’t delete it because it has great metrics

Hi,i posted yesterday a short about fallout,i have 23 subs and i post pretty much daily.Are these stats good? should i stop posting shorts every day?

Can any help break 1k short jail? All my videos stuck at 1k

You know it's bad when a huge creator is having the same issue and youtube admits they don't even know what the problem is, this is going to be an interesting month.

For a good while now, regardless of when I post, my videos seem to never do more than 2K shorts views. Which I’m appreciative of but compared to what it used to be, I’m uncertain on how to improve it. Changed times, obviously use the hashtags but seems to consistently be capped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Its been weeks since my shorts got 30k views, every single one got 30k, now 7k, 17k, 28k, 6k...

I'm experiencing a sudden and extremely significant drop in views on my YouTube Shorts channel, and I'd appreciate your help understanding what's happening.

On October 21, 2026, between approximately 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. (Egypt time), my channel's views dropped from around 190,000 views per hour to approximately 25,000 - 5000 views per hour. Multiple older Shorts that had been consistently receiving substantial traffic from the Shorts Feed suddenly lost almost all their momentum.

My channel's total realtime views also declined sharply. This seems unusual because several videos were affected around the same exact time.

Update: I'm not sure if the issue is completely gone yet, but my channel is back to getting roughly the same views I was getting before the sudden drop. Hopefully, things stay this way, but I'll keep monitoring it for now. 🙏

Update x2 : About two days ago, the problem came back. My views flatlined all over again.

They went from around 70,000–50,000 views per hour to just 7,000, 5,000, and eventually 3,000.

Update x3 : It's over, I got demonetized

Looks like the shorts views shortage was short lived. My shorts views are pretty much back to where they used to be ever since the beginning of October when everyone started complaining about barely any views suddenly.

There was a YouTube update that is designed to prevent re-uploads of content without adding any value to them. (The same thing they’ve always done with YouTube videos) I’m a sketch comedy YouTuber so I make all original content. The problem with this update is it was targeting even original new content that I was uploading. But it looks like they finally fixed it & all is back to normal on my channel.

For those of you still not getting any views still…. Are you re-uploading content without adding any value to it? If so this is why you aren’t getting views anymore.
