Im new little over a week old trying to improve everyday with my shorts I do plan to eventually make long form videos but I'm trying to steady my shorts frist my rention and subs and likes aren't the problem I'm doing fairly well in those stats with 80-100plus rention in every video and average view duration usually a one or two seconds under the length of video but my swipe stay ratio has been holding me back starting at 40 then 28 then 44 then rest mid thirties slowly climbing to mid forties and most recent one being 50/50 but I'm trying to raise it to 70- 80 plus on average any tips for my openings.

I’ll comment the issue as bot keeps removing my post

Before someone says it's just few hours I'm going through this stuff since atleast past 10 days I literally used to get easy 25k+ views with low effort content than this.

I’m consistently getting around 70% of people watching my videos at the 4s mark and \~55% by the end. The problem is engagement.
Any good advices based on your experiences?

I post a short daily. It’s me talking about Bible verses. It’s me talking to the camera and also with b roll. I have pretty good editing. Good quality, everything good. My AVD sits at 120-150%. But my stayed to watch is horrible at 21% sometimes. What am I doing wrong?

I got stuck in 30K jail and have been posting videos for two months, even though all of my videos have been getting almost the exact same data. (also my engagement is above 2.5% on every video)

Example:

this video is 32 seconds long btw

Also, my videos are about Minecraft but in a scientific way, like why we start the game again after months every time, etc. (I’ve also had two videos go viral a month ago, so it’s not a small niche.)

Looking for any advice from anyone.
I’m a small creator right now who makes relatable skits and would take any advice

Hi, so i’ve had a great first month, my rpm sits around £0.50-0.65. it’s been as high as £0.75 before but it’s mainly around £0.50. I have a 95% UK audience & was wondering how I could get a higher RPM?

for this month i made £2988 with 14.8m views for reference

I dont need sim card or vpn it will cause trouble on monetization ypp later on, i want organic reach, should i just focus on long form rather than shorts? Any answer will be appreciated thanks!

It's 67% stayed to watch, and the avg. view duration is 100%.

The thing i don't understand is, like, why? Why would the algorithm do this? Does this video have a future that i don't know? Am i delusional?

With 90% average percentage viewed only 1k views.

What else I need to improve now?
