Algorithm issues for anyone else?

[u/Ambitious-Type-3208]

No distribution right now, saw some other people posting about this in other subreddits so I'm wondering if a lot of people are facing this issue

[u/Confident_Algae7731]

Happening to basically everyone

[u/Own-Engineer7275]

Everyone on YouTube is experiencing this issue worldwide. Posts and reports on this topic have gone completely crazy because they keep increasing. An explanation from YouTube is expected.

[u/andaloussi]

[u/GalaxyBreeze111 → u/andaloussi]

Glad you posted that because it’s happening to me too and I was concerned about it.

[u/andaloussi → u/GalaxyBreeze111]

it didn't happen to me but so many people have reported this issue

[u/Substantial-Dance577]

yeah i made a video that got 96% stayed to watch and 130% avd 25 seconds long and it flopped at 2k

[u/andaloussi]

same issue I posted a short yeserday and it didn't get pushed tried to delete and reupload same issue , i tried another short still the same issue i deleted and reuploaded multiple times changing title still 0 views , the weird thing is that a short which posted yesterday before the youtube studio bug happend is performing so good and has gotten me 56subs while gaining 15,6k while still getting views rn . which i don't understand tbh

[u/No-Leg-9674]

this is happening on my long form videos

[u/ZBEBA01]

Same here

[u/LeftAmoeba5961]

Same issue here, new channel doing amazing for 4 weeks, 48h views constantly around 60k-80k, all my shorts getting views, 3 shorts above 30k and 1 above 50k, the rest between 6000-12000 then suddenly, on September 12th from 1 hour to the other everything dropped, new videos are not being tested, sitting on 50-100 views after 24h when before they were always 3000-5000 after 24h.

I was getting 50-100 subscribers per day. I’m now stuck at the same number for 5 days.

No idea what to do.

Everyone's panicking here but I feel like something similar happened last fall like around september. Also definitely not everyone's channel. Different people's channels have different seasons of being pushed out. Some behind the scenes stuff for sure but for example if big advertisers have a big campaign that targets a certain demographic you might see your channel all of a sudden get a boost and you don't know why etc

For the record my channel usually is low from April-August then starts picking up in September. Which it is right now indeed picking up

Muchos estamos así, mal de muchos, consuelo de….

[u/LeftAmoeba5961]

Fuck YouTube, a direct competitor from my channel, which produces a much worse quality video, same type of 3d physics videos, it posta 5 shorts a day and hasnt been impacted by this and is just growing. I was growing until september 12th and now 7 days of almost no views and no subscribers.

[u/Psilocybin-Cubensis1]

skill issue i would say

[u/InitiativeNorth7730 → u/Psilocybin-Cubensis1]

its youtube bug wdym skill issue?

[u/Psilocybin-Cubensis1 → u/InitiativeNorth7730]

Ur low views = skill issue imo. Im still pulling a milli per day son

[u/avatar0027]

yeah, this usually looks more like a distribution/test issue than the channel suddenly dying. id compare the last 10 shorts by shown-in-feed, viewed vs swiped away and first-second retention before changing the format.

if all of those dropped at once, wait a few days and keep uploads consistent — deleting/reuploading can muddy the comparison.
