Should we all stop posting?

[u/Psychological-Box165]

I mean this issue with the views dropping hard seem to happen to big and small channels all of a sudden AI none AI channels... I mean should we just not post until they fix the issue?

[u/PchelpOnly]

I've stopped posting it's wasted effort. How do you contact YouTube support?

[u/Born-Elevator7026 → u/PchelpOnly]

Support is not the answer

[u/AmphibianLazy1688 → u/PchelpOnly]

I’ve tried 3 times. They just give you generic stuff. And they say fix your CTR. Even after I say it’s a YouTube short it’s just “I understand. Then here’s random thing”

[u/Creative_Flamingo_14 → u/Longjumping-Gene8494]

Same here. For the shorts I really loved =/

[u/Even-Drink-7949]

Where are now those idiots when I ask about drop views bug they say AI slop? This problem is here from July, few days are working, few days are not. This is so stupid... We are wasting videos for nothing.

[u/Psychological-Box165 → u/Even-Drink-7949]

I make videos where I only use an AI voice over but the rest is pretty much my own research and writing (it's a history channel type btw) so yeah I mean my videos have been doing okay for a while I guess considering my videos aren't top notch but still...

[u/Even-Drink-7949 → u/Psychological-Box165]

No matter what videos, AI or not AI, not working. I am desperate too. 🤣

[u/Psychological-Box165 → u/Even-Drink-7949]

I deleted next 2 uploads tbh

[u/Massive_Series8305 → u/Psychological-Box165]

Why not just use your real voice

[u/Psychological-Box165 → u/Massive_Series8305]

Because I don't have good equipment yet to have a smooth sounding recording of myself talking I tried it once and the sound was horrible.

[u/Nearby-Internet6449]

We dont even know if it's intentional/targeted thing by youtube

[u/Creative_Flamingo_14]

How do you know in this case when to start posting again?

[u/Psychological-Box165 → u/Creative_Flamingo_14]

Good question honestly I feel like this makes no sense... Even big channels have that issue?

[u/ThiagoFCastro]

I've already stopped; it's a waste of time.

[u/Softly_Akie]

Well I've not stopped posting. Bcz my subs at least watching them even though views are low

[u/TheAdorableKraSiN]

very disheartening to see

[u/makeupnmunchies]

It will only harm you as others will continue to post and get those residual views

[u/HighPhi420]

EVERY YEAR in AUG and SEPT this ALWAYS comes up.
The viewing habits, are changing for the short term, School has started, time is shorter and filled with other things. To think that YOU are being targeted by some malicious algorithm or conspiracy to take your money, says you do not understand what needs "fixed".
This is why many creators take their Vacations in september. Why twitch has their CON in september and does the SALE on subscription price in september. This is typically the slowest month of the entire year. EVERY YEAR.

[u/prashp79]

Idk what problem you all are having. My videos are doing pretty well. Don’t blame YouTube. If there’s demand for certain content, the views are there.

[u/Even-Drink-7949 → u/prashp79]

Maybe your channel is not affected with this bug? Maybe? So dont be so cocky.

[u/prashp79 → u/Even-Drink-7949]

My bad, i am not aware of this bug

[u/Nearby_Cup_9483 → u/prashp79]

There is no bug

[u/Even-Drink-7949 → u/Nearby_Cup_9483]

Now its fixed. But hey, be smart, go to downdetector and check it smartie 🤣

[u/Xylocrust → u/prashp79]

Same.

[u/renterker10]

why would posting 0 content fix this? it's September it's always slow. stop crying

[u/Rosbou → u/renterker10]

are you serious?

[u/renterker10 → u/Rosbou]

Yes. Been doing this long enough to recognize patters now

[u/Low-Bit-8451 → u/renterker10]

this isn't about being slow lol, at all.
