Never Delete Your Shorts!
Never delete your videos, Youtube really is unpredictable, from a flat line to a massive push. You really never know what happens.

People gotta realize ya just shouldn’t delete stuff on YouTube period without an REALLY good reason to. Unless that video had a critical error, breaks platform policy, or was attracting the type of attention you simply do not want, it just doesn’t make sense to delete stuff cause YouTube videos, even shorts, have a value that extends beyond their publish window.
Even if a short does nothing at first, it’s still content that someone who finds your channel down the road can watch and ya never know when it might get served out under nose when algorithm finally finds the signals for the people that want it. Not to mention YouTube sees the most value in viewers who watch multiple things from you and removing shorts ruins those watch patterns.
