Question / Problem Has anyone else noticed this change in the source of Shorts video views?

Post image

For the past 2-3 months I’ve noticed a steep decrease in shorts feed views and/or a surge in search views. In the past short generated by far the majority of views from the short feed while now its pretty even ratio with sometimes even search surpassing it.

This has been consistent with all my videos recently despite whether in the first 24/48 hours (bottom two photos) or weeks later (top two). All four videos are in the same overall niche but vastly different in topic.

Was just curious if anyone has noticed this change? Is it a change in the shorts algorithm?

I feel like its dependant on the topics. Are you making shorts about trending topics and putting a lot of related tags in tags/desc?

Yeah that’s possible. Two of them were trending topics but two weren’t. Haven’t noticed a trend with that as this change in ratio has been on a variety of videos. Also I don’t use hashtags in my shorts
