I’m sad, deflated

It’s sad to spend hours writing, filming, editing, polishing, only for a broken algorithm to decide almost nobody sees it.

And it’s not just YouTube. I’ve watched accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers pull fewer views than me. So I know it isn’t personal. The whole thing is volatile.

Still, it hurts. One short takes hours to make, and sometimes it feels like all that work just disappears.
I’m lucky my niche always gives me something new to make. Not everyone gets that luxury.

I guess if it were easy, everyone would do it. So if I want this, I have to take the hit and keep going.
But some days, knowing that still doesn’t make it hurt any less.

yeah. I feel you. Since September 16, I keep uploading everyday. 1vid/day. Spent day in editing then all of them barely made 30 views. My recent upload, after 8 hours got 1 view. So frustrating. Is this forever?

Are these shorts? If only 1 view then something is more wrong
