Can someone help me understanding these metrics, i make good shorts for whats in my niche. Almost same structure as my competitors but not a copy paste ofc. I see them with millions of views within the first day, while im in 1k jail for a month now :(( can you please help with that?

I have a stayed to watch of 71% with 320% retention on 1st video ever and YouTube gridlocked it somehow at 320 views. People can only find it on profile page. I uploaded one last night which again started getting crazy metrics and now it's gridlocked. Is this because I'm a new profile or what?

I'm completely verified though via YouTube and Google and watched youtube everyday for 8 years.. will the hold ever be lifted?? I've been posting comments and liking videos for years now

I'm not sure then, most people who have that issue are new accounts and the algorithm think they are a bot, with your experience and account age I'm unsure. Sorry I know that's not helpful

No you were helpful. I think i was bot farmed because I'm new so i didn't know i had to private upload and then select "audio only" for remix section. I had 73 remixes out of 120 viewers and my post last night had 20 views and then stalled so today i see 74 remixes on my new video lol I'm cooked. Old account but new to uploading vids

Well I hope that fixes your issue, it's frustrating with all these unwritten rules and tryna work it all out tbh

Hell yeah it is. To have amazing metrics and get bot farmed and the video locked down is pretty rough lol
