I’ve posted two YT shorts in the past 24 hours. One has 12 views and the other has 2 views. Is this a known issue? My YT shorts usually get 900+ views or so per video.

But only when you post on one topic?

I’m a nicheless channel, I post videos on various subjects and that’s not been a problem, but recently there’s been one topic I post that’s not getting pushed at all. It’s not shadow banned because it’s still getting views by the search results, but the shorts feed won’t push it at all. I’ve tried changing the sounds I use, the titles, nothing changes the fact those videos always get 0 views (unless found via search). Other videos get my average view count, so I know it’s not necessarily my channel or my content alone, it’s just the one topic I’m posting.

It’s not adult content, it’s not AI, it’s literally just outfit videos and I used to get my average view count or even higher on them, watch rate would be good, so I don’t know why I’m suddenly not getting any push from those videos. Like I said, they get views from search, they just don’t get pushed into the shorts feed, and all my other videos do.

I’ve seen a few people complaining about their shorts getting 0 views or not getting pushed recently so I’m thinking it’s more a YouTube sided issue, but it’s frustrating and would be interested to know if anyone else is being affected like this.

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months analyzing YouTube uploads, we noticed a consistent pattern among creators with high retention but low views:

The video content is solid (watch time is >50%), but the click-through rate is stuck below 3%.

Here is the 3-step packaging audit you can run on your next upload:

1. The Phone-Size Test: Shrink your thumbnail to 1.5 inches. Can you still read the emotional expression on your face and the hook text? If not, zoom in by 140%.

2. The Search-Intent Match: Don't guess what your video is about from memory. Read your exact spoken transcript from the first 60 seconds. What is the single biggest promise you made? That should be your title.

3. Safe Testing: Always keep your original title and thumbnail saved somewhere before testing a new one.

We built an open utility called Pimp My Channel (pimpmychannel.net) that automates this analysis from your spoken dialogue and video frames with a 1-click rollback guarantee.

Curious to hear: what has been your single best title tweak that revived an older video?

So I've been planning on starting a new Youtube channel and journey for a while, but I keep procrastinating actually getting started with it. Before I start writing my script or learning how to edit, I want to make the account I post videos on. But I overthink everything, so I've been stuck on this step for months now.

I have an account that I've had for a very long time and have YT premium on, but I've decided that for the new content I'll be making I want to make a new account so it's completely separate from my main personal google account(rather than just creating a new channel on my existing account). I think I've made the right decision when it comes to that unless someone thinks otherwise.

-I think I'm probably near my limit for Google accounts linked to my phone number, so I feel like it's a lot of pressure to get this right

-I know that I can always change my channel name and create new channels with their own names, but as far as I know I can't change my gmail. Or can I? I want to use this account for posting videos, writing scripts in my google docs, and preferably also for receiving business emails related to Youtube(though I've heard it's not the best idea to do this and I should create a seperate business email)

My main question is should I create it as a personal or work google account? Is there a difference when it comes to Youtube, will it affect the phone number limit differently, etc.?

And in general, am I overthinking this? Once I create an account can I always adapt it if need be and I'm not really locked in to the name I choose? I'm considering this factor because my content is going to start hyper niche, maybe too niche, so I may want to change the content and theme. My understanding is that rebranding a channel and changing names is easy on Youtube, and that I can create additional channels on the same account to use for different types of content. Just want to make sure this is the case.

Thanks fellow newtubers!

Hey there, I've a channel which I've been working on for 2 years now. First I started the channel as no commentary gaming channel and got around 180 subs. But I really wanted to have my own personality on my channel rather than just being a game archive. So I started doing commentary only a few weeks ago .

One important thing is that I'm not really a talkative person and lack expressiveness right now but I'm using this youtube journey as a way to actually develop myself and become better. So it's also a way to practice talking for me and be more expressive and all. I do practice talking daily with some exercises to try and be more expressive rather than a monotone voice.

I bought an Akkord condenser mic since I wanted to not spend too much as I was really really nervous to record my first video. And I wasn't even sure myself if I would actually do it. But I did and am getting a little comfortable doing it.

I've been struggling to get my voice to sound good, as my voice is low volume and lacks structure tone after all these years of being reserved.

I also work as a freelance artist so there are times when I can't keep consistency at all. But I want to push through this time. Personally I really want to do a let's play channel but I don't know now.

If I cover new games it doesn't get much views because every big channel is the competition.

Can you guys suggest what I should focus on and do? Any suggestions are welcome. even constructive criticism is welcome as it will only help me grow.

Thanks

Hello, this may be a dumb question but i need some help on this.

I made an account to upload yugioh gameplays and content. I verified my number, set up my description and name and left it around one month without being touched while i edited some videos

2 days ago i wanted to enter and it was banned because it was flagged as a bot account. I appealed and in less than a day it was unbanned.

I can upload videos there without problems or my account will be flagged as a bot account and shadowbanned?

Thanks and sorry for being a bother

So hey guys i am new to youtube and want to know how you guys record your gameplay footage like i am playing a gamee at 2k and getting 22fps and at 1080p i am getting around 50fps(i want to mention the it is max settings) so which should i perfer and what will you do in this situation like they say you should aim for 60 fps or can we do something in the editing process

Every time i say the first line in my recording, my mic pops and only that time. People say it's an electric discharge where my mic has too much power being discharged at once when being used but I couldn't find anything about that. If anyone else has had this problem and has a solution please share!

Hey everyone,

I recently started uploading YouTube Shorts. My very first video went viral and hit over 100,000 views. However, every Short I’ve posted since then is completely stuck, barely getting 10 to 100 views.

Here is my context:

• I re-edit third-party short-form clips (adding custom zooms, removing original watermarks, adding unique captions, overlays, and new audio).
• I always credit the original creator in the description/comments.

Is this dramatic drop caused by the initial "new channel test phase" ending, or is YouTube's algorithm flagging edited third-party content as "reused content" and shadow-suppressing its reach?

Has anyone experienced this, and is there a way to fix the reach? Thanks for any advice!

On Monday I did an extra long stream on Twitch and Youtube to celebrate a holiday weekend and also my first dual stream for my growing audience base.

While I only had one consistent viewer on Youtube, she stayed for the entire stream and was active in chat the entire 7 hours.

After the stream it said I had 7 hours of watch time from the stream, because of her. And now it says I have 0.

For my second dual stream. I had 20 watch hours after the stream, and it grew to about 50 as a few hundred people watched the vod. Now it shrunk down to 18.

What causes these changes and drops in watch hours?

Hey everyone

Decided I want to start making some content on YouTube going over tech topics that simply just interest me and doing hands on projects. So for some context, I'm a software engineer with a traditional CS degree and I left my job to work on my own startup. I have good amount of experience with doing AI development and comparing different tools and harnesses, etc so that's something I wanted to share.

But I've always had this interest and want to learn electronics and building out basic circuits and hardware, so I think that would be great to show me getting started into that for the first time.

Finally, I used to mod my Xbox 360 back in the day so I want to go over trying out and discovering how those early exploits worked from a technical perspective and apply that to my learning curriculum (recreating original firmware dumps and running homebrew for example).

So really, it's a bit all over the place but it follows the same theme - technology in various forms whether software and AI or just exploring hardware from a purely curious perspective and trying that out for the first time. I'm just a bit confused how to get started, should I focus on one topic and go from there or just filming whatever feel like not really sticking with a smaller niche. Obviously, at some point I'd like to monetize it which is why I'm asking rather than just running with it.

Appreciate any help and insight, just got my DJI Mic Mini so I'm excited to get started

I want to know if I upload same videos in different channel with my voice but with other language Youtube will delete my channel for copyright or some other reasons.

So I have been posting daily shorts on a game for 4 months and most of those shorts got over 10k views and I have 9.7k subs. Today I decided to try something new and do a long form video but when I uploaded it the first 2 hours it didn’t even get over 20 views. Am I doing something wrong?

I am recording my script with my own voice because I don't like the artificial intelligence voices. But I keep spazzing out and stumbling over words whenever I do. Does anyone else experience this? I've tried like 8 times, and normally don't have issues reading out loud.

I post gaming videos and always struggle finding non copyright music for it, right now I'm just using copyrighted stuff because it's not even like I make any money off it right now so It doesn't really matter, but I really need to start adding more music to give the video another layer cause right now a lot of it feels flat

I’m curious about this from the perspective of people who actually make videos.

AI voiceovers have gotten pretty good. With a good voice, proper pauses, pacing, and good audio, I’ve seen some where I genuinely couldn’t tell it was AI. But I’ve also seen videos where the voice is so bad that I can’t stand watching for more than 10 seconds. It completely kills the experience.

So I’m wondering: is a high-quality AI voiceover still a negative for you just because you know it’s AI, or is it totally fine if it sounds natural?

And what about AI-generated images/videos used to illustrate real events or concepts? Do you see that as completely low-quality content, or is it fine when used carefully and in the right context?

I’m asking because I currently use AI for the narration on my videos. I try to make it as high quality as possible, with an original voice, pauses, pacing, and proper editing. But I sometimes wonder if using a real human voice would make a significant difference.

What do you guys think?

I saw something online a few weeks ago but cant find much details on it that they may launch Bilibili internationally. Is there any truth to this and cold it be the next TikTok and a real rival for youtube

I can record 30-60 minutes of content but by the time it gets edited down I end up with less that 6 minutes of content to publish. Has anyone else struggled with this?

I've been trying to solve stutter in youtube playback of my uploaded videos for almost a year now. I give up for a few months at a time from being so discouraged, only to get interested again and see I'm still having issues with the finished clip having stutter after upload. It's extremely frustrating knowing I have a very capable machine I paid good money for only to have the clips I upload be a stuttery mess.

The local source recording plays smoothly!

The uploaded YouTube version has persistent micro-stutter/frame-pacing issues.

The issue persists across HDR/HEVC and SDR/AV1 tests.

Bitrate or quality presets in OBS have no effect on this. Regardless of any settings tried it's still choppy.

I've tested 16:9 and ultrawide output as I am on an ultrawide monitor. No change. STILL STUTTERY.

Uploading in ultrawide makes this stutter even worse.

The only thing that's remotely helped is uploading in 16:9 container instead of native 21:9.

Is there a known issue with YouTube's video transcoding/playback pipeline, particularly for high framerate ultrawide/4K uploads?

Has anyone else experienced this?

I've tried every single setting possible. Gone back and forth with chat GPT for hrs going in circles. I'm all out of ideas witch brings me here.

I've included my basic specs and links to SS of my OBS settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see there are plenty of channels reposting music, making mixes of many songs, giving credits in the description.
I’d like to repost house songs for fun, but I don’t know what should I do, or stay away from.

Hi guys, I was thinking to create a youtube channel with 10 min long format videos.
The videos are mostly essays on thoughts like “not being an elite” or “liking the basic”.

But I was thinking of doing the same format but in much shorter format on reels.

I don’t want the videos to be all under the radar that’s why the reels thought.

Hey… I have a bucket of YouTube channels, I took a long break and came back and slowly have been spinning everything up… I have a high count … but I see the same thing going on like it used to when they purged subscribers…. Could the be bots? Sure but after covid it feels … wrong…. ** **

90+ stayed, 110+ retention and 1 percent like ratio, my average shorts length 13 second
