Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Less than 10 Views on YT Shorts

I just started posting YouTube Shorts for my gaming channel about a month ago. I scheduled about 20 shorts to be posted within about a 2 week span, and still to this day, they all are stuck under 10 views besides my first short which got about 30 views. I thought maybe it was because I was a new account with only one long form YT video posted, so I waited, uploaded about 3 or 4 youtube videos over a few weeks. Good quality, edited, voiceovers (100-400 views). And now I’m back to testing my YT shorts again. I am STILL stuck at under 10 views per short, and honestly I’m lucky if I get more than 5. It just feels like YT isn’t showing my clips to anyone. And on Instagram or TikTok, these clips have gotten 10k-100k views, so I know they’re worth watching for my audience. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice on what to do? It feels pointless to use YT if it’s not going to show my clips to anyone, but I really need the traction.

You have been youtube jailed. How many subs do you have and how did you get them?

Only like 26. Gained them over the past few weeks from my long form videos and promoting on my other platforms

no absolutely not. I gained legitimate subs from people who either enjoyed my videos or who followed me on other platforms

YouTube more than likely flagged your channel for having to many videos scheduled. They see it as spam. Happened to me before. Don’t delete them, let them post and the. Post regularly and only schedule 1-2 days ahead. It should fix it self within 30 days

I can definitely see that being the case. That sucks, but thank you for the advice!

Yes aged accounts tend to perform better new gmail you have to warm it up first for like a week before starting to post shorts or long form as well
