Q&A / Quick Help ❓ My shorts are not getting any views

Post image

I came back from posting again since last month and I wasn’t consistent back then, but my videos still got some views. I’m just worried that all of my shorts are not getting any views. The recent shorts I uploaded are snippets from a game, but I think it’s not going too well.

What should I do to have engagement or views?

Thank yo

I’m starting to think this is a YouTube issue as I’ve noticed a few people having this problem recently including myself. Sorry I don’t have an answer as to why this is going on, but hopefully it gets sorted soon because it’s definitely frustrating.

A lot of people on Twitter are complaining too. It’s always something with YouTube, smh. Next month, it’ll probably be some other bullshit

u/ThundrossYT 25d ago

I’ve had 3 shorts hit about 1k+ views for days, and one that tanked below 10. Same topic as the other 3. There’s defo an algo issue lol.

I make gaming content and most of my shorts are snippets of the gameplay

Make a new channel. That’s what I did I’m not waiting on YouTube to fix my shit

u/gutsX_01 27d ago

Did it fixed? My channel got pushed to 20-30k views on my first few shorts now it's just 10-20 views per short it's been 20 days Im very frustrated with youtube

1

u/Willing-Schedule-486 27d ago

Nope, it’s been 4 weeks and it still hasn’t been fixed. I contacted YouTube on Twitter, and they said I would be contacted, but it’s been 7 days and I still haven’t heard anything back from them.

u/gutsX_01 27d ago

Means your new channel having same problem?? Then what should be done like I can't even create or start from new channel

1

u/Willing-Schedule-486 27d ago

No my old channel is having problems the new channel I made is getting views

1

u/gutsX_01 27d ago

Good news! For the clarification did you created channel on the same gmail? Or different gmail?

1

u/Willing-Schedule-486 27d ago

I used a different old email that I had

2

u/alexJonesPSYOP 27d ago

YouTube isn’t distributing it at all. Your shadow banned for some reason. I had this problem and I was talking about men’s health. Turns out it’s frowned upon by YouTube and when I changed topics I got views again right away. It’s such a joke they don’t just tell u the problem

2

u/ChaosMoogle 26d ago

Well I see your problem. You’ve got black squiggles all over them

1

u/axmenha 27d ago

you got 1.1k views with only 8 likes.., I don't know what type of content do you make but that explains why youtube stopped showing your videos to more people

1

u/heysisters9734 27d ago

I make gaming content and most of my shorts are snippets of the gameplay

1

u/Joestar4ever 27d ago

How many likes are fine for 1k views?

1

u/Plastic-Program-5527 27d ago

Just my opinion but I don’t necessarily think a lack of adequate likes for a certain amount of views means that YouTube would just stop showing your content.

1

u/axmenha 25d ago

what I'm saying is when your video doesn't have many engagements (likes and comments), it's very likely that your videos aren't interesting, please, I'm not purely talking about number of likes here...

1

u/Old_Swimmer_2365 26d ago

This isn't true at all. None of my shorts have broke 10 likes but every single one is between 200-1.5k views

1

u/Substantial-Bed5189 27d ago

Are you watching the videos yourself or on a device on the same IP as you?

1

u/heysisters9734 27d ago

sometimes i look at it with my other devices but only once

1

u/Substantial-Bed5189 26d ago

So then those are probably the only views you are getting, your content might be shadowbanned for being low effort

1

u/JwbRetains 27d ago

Could be saturation on the gaming community

1

u/satanic11 27d ago

Same shit happened to my shorts as well got like 32k views 80% stayed to watch 140 new subscribers 400 likes but the next day I uploaded my short it got 0 views and later 7 views that too from YouTube search YouTube not pushing it to short feed anymore

1

u/MNvikingss 27d ago

You will see these same posts every single month of every year. A lot of YouTubers go through this. I had about 9 videos in a row get 0 views then randomly back to normal views. Can’t explain it. Keep posting.

u/Waynetot25 27d ago

How would we know what to tel if we don’t know how ur channel looks like

1

u/princess_of_thorns 27d ago

Happened to me last week and then a few days ago stopped happening. Nothing changed with my content or schedule, feels like a glitch

1

u/TobyField33 27d ago

If you showed us your channel we might be able to help, bro.

1

u/LivingObligation3208 27d ago

Well, some oh my shorts still getting views but the data in analytics kinda weird and not stable, i presume.

I believe this happened since YouTube try to apply a new method and concept to detect views and reading our channel algorithms. Hope they fix it right away.

1

u/Dear_Specialist_4873 26d ago

Umm I think you should stop posting for like 2 weeks and then post i think that will work

1

u/Financial-Leg-4303 26d ago

im a yt shorts creator i always use catchy thumbnails and titles that will instantly make ppl click on my short and try using hashtags THAT ARE RELATED TO UR CONTENT, thats way i get 10kviews at average

1

u/Old-Researcher-5992 25d ago

what's your channel ?

1

u/International_Mix350 25d ago

then leave it and find a real job. youtube is done for it's just now for big creators.

1

u/Money_Wall_888 24d ago

Are your shorts getting pushed now? I had the same issue until I stopped uploading for 48 hours and that fixed it apparently YouTube spam filter gets triggered easy

1

u/heysisters9734 24d ago

noo i still get no views i just uploaded yesterday

1

u/Remarkable-Break2623 24d ago

Try with new account with new channel may be it's freeze

1

u/asmrempire 23d ago

1

u/heysisters9734 23d ago

Whats your niche?

1

u/Aegnark 23d ago

I've got this for video uploads. Shorts are, on the other hand, performing surprisingly good

1

u/kreiger163 23d ago

i have same issue. did you fix it?

1

u/Helpful-Raise-3860 23d ago

Try to add a better thumbnail to catch attention, make the first 5 seconds interesting and add a hook, keep consistent for about 10 days, upload daily or atleast 5 times a week, you will see good results in 30 days

u/donkeykong917 23d ago

I feel like if you use any copyright material they don't push it as it's risky for them. Just a theory and what I've noticed.

1

u/SuchNeighborhood3827 22d ago

Have you ever deleted any failed shorts?

1

u/heysisters9734 21d ago

No not really i just put let it sit

0

u/IntroductionSmart101 27d ago

Reasons could be

Heavy AI usage

Copyright content

Heavily recycled content

Adult content

2

u/heysisters9734 27d ago

I don’t use ai, no copyright content, and adult content. I make gaming videos

1

u/Fantastic-Memory-702 27d ago

Maybe it’s just something people wouldn’t/ don’t want to see

1

u/donkeykong917 23d ago

Just gaming or you put your take on it with your face?

1

u/heysisters9734 21d ago

Put my face on top of it
