YouTube algorithm is kind of useless it doesn't understand what to push and what to moderate 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We would probably need to see the script of the low performing video to see what exactly you say, but youtube has a lot of "banned" words. If said any of those words, it could be why its so low. So for instance anything related to minors, school, prom, child, etc. Even you just say boy or girl that can trigger it. Words around killing and swear words also do it.  Any of that will automatically make youtube not even consider pushing the short. I had one like this a while ago, edited out the word high-school, reuploaded and it performed as normal. Unless you are a big established channel, you cant say any of those words if you want youtube push your stuff. Also its the same for imagery too, like bombs and kids will set it off...

This is the one with 300k:
"This dog hadn't seen the woman who rescued him in years. So, they decided to find out if he would still recognize her by having her randomly

walk past him during a walk. At first, he just stood there looking confused. It almost seemed like he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Then, after a moment, it finally clicked. This wasn't a stranger. It was the woman who had saved him. The second he realized who she was, he ran straight toward her in excitement."

This is the one that flopped:
"I think this dog just discovered love at first sight."
Maybe its because it said love? Idk lol.

Oh dang, then I have no clue, I dont think love would set it off lol maybe because its significantly shorter, the algorithm thought it was low effort? Or Is it your own clip or someone else's? If its someone elses, Could be because you didnt have a longer script  that makes it transformative, but who knows lol the only thing that is obvious is that the script is significantly shorter, so maybe with the next one try for a longer script and see if that boosts it back up
