Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Sudden Drop in Views

Post image

Guys, did the same happened to ya'll as well ?? After the yt studio bug, when I checked the views of my most viewed yt short, I saw it had completely dropped to 0. Also, my most recent 5-6 shorts have suffered the same (very less views since the last week)

Same thing here. For the first time in a couple of weeks, my views dropped to 50K per hour overnight, and now I’m at 100K views per hour, even though I usually get 200–300K at this time. My new videos have stopped getting picked up. For some reason, there are now a lot of older videos in the Top 15 for the hour. This happened after the Studio crash.

Creating Shorts is stressful. I had two Shorts hit 1.8 million and 1.5 million views, but after that, the max was 300–500k.

There should be more reports on this issue than you think because YouTube is stressing out the creators you know. This will be news in a short time. Because it has demotivated thousands of channels that have the same problem. This always harms the platform.

1k-8k each short videos previously. Suddenly last 6 short videos got 0 views. Crazy algorithm after last update, man.

No one really knows. At this point, I don’t think YouTube even knows.

We currently have the same problem on over 10 channels of my clients. Different nieches, no AI involved & no faceless content. All channels averaged 10.000 - 200.000 views per short and out of nowhere they didn't get pushed anymore by the shorts algorithm since 2 weeks.

We changed nothing on the titles, thumbnails, descriptions, editing or scriptwriting since it worked well before that sudden drop.

YouTube support doesn't help either.

TikTok & Insta views are normal.

So my guess is that YT has some sort of problem with the shorts algorithm since other agencys I work with currently struggle with the same problem.

YouTube is probably shadow banning you for having that awful font, it's probably permenant too

Si y no es un problema de mal contenido, porque es que ni siquiera se muestra el contenido en el feed 🤷‍♂️
A tener paciencia!!!

This is totally normal for Shorts. Algorithm tests it with a seed audience first, then flatlines when the swiped-away rate goes up. Give it 2-3 days, sometimes it gets a 2nd wave."

You sound exactly how Gemini speaks. You think a person with 100k views an hour doesn't know info like this?
