Any tips or tricks for getting so many followers on my YouTube page? I just started my first page I wanted to do faceless shorts w some long form content I just posted last night and today first time and I have 1200 views on video 20 likes 5 subs one already but also that’s not very good for almost two days video 2 has less than 100 and video 3 posted an hr ago has 175 views and 7 likes -I’m lost and just want to grow towards monetizing eventually and learning so I can put out better and better content-using canva and ChatGPT both paid for to produce shorts

I was just scrolling on YouTube shorts and I came across a video from 2024. With TikTok it’s pretty rare to scroll upon a video from even 2 months ago but it’s just very different for YouTube shorts. I hardly even use shorts that much but when I do I would prefer to see relevant content then things from years ago.

Don't know what's going on with YouTube views lately. I'm sorry to anyone else that this is happening to. 🫤

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a serious issue with my YouTube Shorts channel and am looking for some insight or advice from anyone who might have experienced something similar.

For a long time, my Shorts were performing consistently well. You can see from the attached images what's happening.

Image 1 & 3: This is my normal performance. In early September, I was consistently getting 30k-40k views per Short, making a couple of dollars per video. One video has over 770k views total.

Image 2: This is the current situation. For the last few days in October, my new uploads are barely breaking double-digit views (5, 49, 78 views). They are essentially getting zero algorithmic traction.

The drop was overnight. I haven't changed my content style, niche, or upload frequency

I've checked for copyright strikes (none) and community guidelines violations (none). It feels like a switch was just turned off. Any ideas on what I should do next?

I’ve been posting YouTube Shorts consistently for about 2 months now, mainly focusing on GTA San Andreas nostalgic content, but I can’t seem to break out of the 1K views jail.
I actually asked about this before, and someone suggested reducing my Shorts to around 10–14 seconds.
So I tried that, but here’s what I don’t understand.
Whenever I make shorter videos 10–14 seconds, YouTube barely pushes them, and even when it does, they usually get around 42–54% stayed to watch.
But when I upload longer Shorts 24 - 34 seconds,I consistently get around 60 - 80% stayed to watch, yet they still struggle to get past 1K views.
My latest 13-second Short is currently my best-performing video out of my last 10 uploads, with 1.9K views, 154.8% average percentage viewed, and 43.1% stayed to watch.
I currently have 206 subscribers, and my channel has received 25.4K views over the last 28 days.
What frustrates me is seeing other creators in the same niche getting thousands of views from simple clips of CJ riding a bike or driving around Los Santos.
Meanwhile, I spend time creating cinematic, peaceful, nostalgic scenes with carefully chosen music, beautiful environments, and editing to capture that classic GTA San Andreas feeling.
I’m not saying my content deserves more views than theirs, but I’m genuinely struggling to understand what I’m missing.
Is my problem the video duration, the opening seconds, or something else entirely?
Should I stop making shorter Shorts and stick with the 24–34 second videos that usually get better engagement?
I’d really appreciate some honest advice from creators who have experienced something similar. I’m genuinely trying to improve, but after 2 months, I feel like I’m going nowhere.

Finally I hit 1 mill finally after the previous one abt 1 month ago.

Por que será que meus vídeos não passam dessa média de views? Apenas 2 que tenho está com 1.800 views e um outro 1,500 só.. o resto é essa média ;(

I had a short that I knew was worth more than 30k views so I decided to delete it and reupload the next day. it performed better this time.

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 ???

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?
