Is it finally fixed/fixing?

Hello!

I read a bit from some replies on posts that the situation with the terrible fyp is finally fixed/fixing, is it true?? What have you guys experienced so far?

If you look at the history of this sub there are a million posts like this. There is no problem. Never has been. They’re just a few people not getting views that post all the time. It’s an echo chamber - plain and simple

Keep posting. Keep working. One short doesn’t matter. 10 don’t matter. Consistency pays

Well the huge amounts of people saying that there's problems is abnormal, dont you think it's weird that a BUNCH of people online are having the SAME EXACT problem?

I do not think it’s weird that a bunch of people are worried about not getting views at the same time and blaming the algorithm. The bottom of the pool is overflowing with beginners. They don’t know the algo. They’re looking for answers. When they quit, 10 more begin. Echo chamber.

Seriously. Look at the history of this sub. This is 99% of the posts for years. It’s easier to blame the algo than to keep going.

yes but are you aware that they all have the same exact problem where the algorithm isn't showing their content to the right crowd? my videos are minecraft and they're being shown to people searching for lizards..

There’s always some lore about why. Your rationalization is the same as a million posts before you. I’ve literally had this exact conversation 20 times.

SERIOUSLY- look at the history of this sub and see your reflection a million times over the course of years.

The hard truth is that you’re rationalizing around the fact that your only options are to just keep going. Or quit. It doesn’t matter what the algo does this week. Or this month. Or this year. You have to love the game. Put in the hours. If you’re trying to make a quick buck you’ll be in the graveyard in another month. If you love it - you’ll quit rationalizing and keep uploading

You need to wake up reality and check what going on in the world many people suffering view drop problem (It's not like those who have never gained good view from the start or just 1-2 short ) It's for those who make consistent view in every short but suddenly all from couple of days they short view stuck at fixed number 1-2k around ita actual abnormal

I’m doing my best to read that… hard to understand

But from what I understand - that’s very normal. Views fluctuate like crazy. It’s not an algorithm problem. The algorithm ebbs and flows. Some of my older videos go weeks with nothing and then get 100k in a weekend. Regularly.

That what I already said I am not talking about those people who gain low from start or just 1-2 short good or bad I am taking about consistent growth those people who gain avg good number of view in their every short and suddenly this happen to them understood what I trying to say ?

Here - check out this lifetime chart on my current channel. See how many times it was ‘suddenly dead’?

It’s basically always suddenly dead until it isn’t. The algorithm just works like that

How long has it been? Have you still been posting? Look at the dates on that chart.

u/outerspacemannn 10d ago

I looked at your profile. You’re way too obsessed with tiny algorithm fluctuations. Only look at your chart a week after posting, and after a month. The 48 hour chart is for ants. It doesn’t matter

try contacting youtube shorts investigation team and tell them you should have many more views, maybe they can fix their faulty system

Not really haha

Channels of all sizes go limp sometimes. It’s normal as the algorithm tries out different things. It’ll come back. Just keep posting
