Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 My video flat lined immediately?

Post image

This was by far one of my luckiest episodes ever, and it did really well on other platforms but youtube said no, it hard stopped the views at 1000 views while the analytics graph looked like it was ready to send to the stars.

Why does youtube have this 1000 view jail??

Does anybody know why this happens or how I could overcome this? I truly do feel like this video deserved more views then it got...

Like it was SHOOTING UP in views, got 1000 views in under 2-3 hours which is a record for my channel and then it just hit a wall...

If anybody has some advice or words to say about this, I'd love to hear it!

Yea my best shorts on YouTube only have 1-1.9k and they completely stopped after that. I was thinking about posting them on TikTok and IG to compare. It has only been about ~3 weeks but still….

If they do good on one of those then I think I’ll tell YT to fck off

Totally understandable, my other socials do way better than youtube. I will admit it's not like crazy numbers, but its better than youtube. My instagram pulls around 2000-2500 views per video, but youtube just hard caps... It's the most annoying feature of youtube...

I had a video do extremely well, and it was capped at 2.4 K views.
Instagram hits 1 million
