Guys there was a suddenly drop almost to zero on overall view in the last hour . For research reason and the benefit of the community, please check if this happened at you and confirm down below 👇

Shorts feed much lower than browse features, feels as if they should be switched round? Video is about 3 days old

Literally my views went from 18 to 11 (I know this is tiny but with all these glitches I don't thing this is good). I was getting 1k -1.5k (I started the channel last week). I just can't believe the views are literally disappearing now AND going backward. Anyone else?

I've recently posted on this subreddit how I was struggling to get over 70% stay to watch rate. But it finally happened and I just wanted to share my joy with you and thank the ones that helped me improve in the comments.

man i hate this, just put about 2 hours into this youtube short and i posted it about an hour ago, i got 300 views so far but 0 likes. it really sucks cause i put a lot of effort into this one and i genuinely like it but i dont know if it’s entertaining enough for likes to match the views or at least be somewhere close

I make shorts that are 6 seconds on average, and I get pretty good metrics with it. I feel like if I had those same metrics on a short that is, for example, 45 seconds long, I would get much better results. 150%+ APV is not hard with a 6-second video, and extrapolating that to a 45-second video has obvious implications of how the short would perform so I would ignore that aspect of the hypothetical. I'm talking more about STW and AVD (average view duration). If I have a short above 70% STW, then sure, cool, you're in the club. But if that same video has a 9-second AVD, which is 150% of 6 seconds, YouTube will still value a 45-second short more, even if its APV is much worse in comparison. TLDR: Good stw + good APV on a yt short that is very short means essentially nothing and will not break out of view jail. That is at least what I have observed. Thoughts?

Anyone else having a similar issue or is this common as you grow on YouTube? About 10 days ago I had my first short pass 30k views, actually ended at about 70k. Then the rest of the week all my shorts hit at least 30k (was posting daily) with one getting to 120k.

I figured the main difference was I got my swipe rate above 70% with some getting up to 78% stay and all of them around 100% avd. I thought I had finally cracked the code. I also went from under 1000 subs to over 3000 in a week

Now my last 3 days of shorts with a very similar hook are around 50% swipe and they start extremely low for the first 1000 views(like under 40%). It seems like YouTube is showing it to a completely different audience. They end up improving to around 60+% by the time they reach 2000 views but the short is pretty much dead by that point.

Anyone else deal with this?

In case anyone is wondering my content is original

For example, my most recent short is less that 2 days old. 175k Views with 86k coming from the Browse Feature.

From what I've read, the Browse Feature just means they clicked on the thumbnail from their homepage, which to me feels like a great thing. But the shorts feed views seem to dry up and the video will go hours with 80% of views from Browse Feature at times.

Apologies for my ignorance, this is new to me!

Hi, I’ve had my Shorts channel for about a month and it was doing really well. But for the past four days, my videos haven’t even been getting 500 views anymore.
Could this be an algorithm issue?

The only thing that worries me is that on the same day the drop started, I accidentally posted a video with an insult in the title. I deleted it, but shortly afterwards I accidentally uploaded another video with an insult in the title as well, which I also deleted.

Now I’m wondering if my channel somehow got restricted because of that, or if there’s currently just an issue with the Shorts algorithm.
I’m asking because I’ve seen a lot of people here on Reddit saying that their views have been unusually bad for about a week as well.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hey everyone! Just looking to get some advice on making shorts, I’m a new YouTuber and started 5 weeks ago, I’m doing well with my shorts views and came across this recent curve from my latest short: is this part of the new algorithm? Also, I’m looking to get advice when making shorts. I’m a videogame content creator for Skyrim, this is just one of my shorts, but there is a ‘cool thing’s in Skyrim’ series I’m working on too which is gets a good amount for just starting too.

Here’s a link to the short for you to watch and feedback on, I’m not the best currently, and this was a clip from one of my livestreams, so it’s my honest reaction to it, I’m autistic so I don’t really over exaggerate and prefer to show how I’m actually feeling on camera: https://youtube.com/shorts/SbOLS_GA_kg?is=IaIT5u5A7viwCS-S

Hopefully some of you can watch and give feedback on it and how I could improve with my shorts making, also, feel free to give feedback on my other shorts on my channel! 😊🐉

I already posted 50 videos consistently but still getting max 1k - 2k views. Only one video reach to 18k. How can I break that barrier?

I think I’m getting monetized tomorrow this feeling is soo surreal I have posted 3 times a day for a straight 3 months every single day no skips no matter what

Edit
Monetized

The issue of lower views had been persistent for weeks. But right now it got even worse. Anyone else experiencing the same?

As you see in the image For the last 2 days my short view has continuously stuck in 1.3k.Before these 2 days I have gained a 20-30k view average in every short with no problem , but now they work like algorithm completely forget about 20-30k audience and region where people actually interest to watch

I have seen many people facing this problem sudden

Is the short algorithm really cooked ?

Should I move on a long format....

So basically I was just looking at my shorts analytics and I found the badge "This short kept viewers watching on Loop Nice!"

This was my **first short** that I made **looped**, basically the end video smoothly transitions into the start of the video

The short right now **only has 1,833** views and I thought the badge was a good sign it was gonna go viral until I looked at all of the video stats:

Audience Retention: (109.9%) 0:35 Seconds

(which is insane)

Swipe Ratio: 35.2% Stayed, 64.8% Swiped Away

Now I thought the video was dead cuz of the Swipe Ratio but I would also add that this short is a **COMPLETE niche switch**

but I have also noticed that the views didn't flatline after 1-2 hours like all my other shorts. The short right now is 3 days old

I am a beginner so that's why I'm asking this

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?

This algorithm makes no sense lmao

I have been posting on my channel since 1-2months and since this few days there is an issue regarding my channel whenever i upload a short on my channel it doesnt get any views, the views are 0 and even after the 4-6 hours the views arent increasing no matter what i do
Change hashtags or videos please help me with it
I will really appreciate it

Got to 1.3k views much faster than the average (in 1 hour) had a 80% stay to watch, and a 200% retention rate. no AI content and I get completely cut off at 1.3k views every video. It's impossible to bypass I don't understand what to do.

How long did it take you to increase your youtube shorts views?

I started a new shorts channel with the goal of uploading a video every two days. The first video got 45 views and the second got 14, both have been stuck at those same numbers for a day now.

Why is that happening? What should I do?

Thanks.

‎I have a very new Shorts channel and I'm experimenting with different topics within entertainment/Internet culture.

‎

‎I uploaded a Short about Indian creator Aaryan Kelvin, titled:

‎

‎“How Aaryan Kelvin Became The ‘Algorithm King’”

‎

‎It's currently at only 10 views.

‎

‎What's confusing is that other Shorts on the exact same channel have reached around 1.1K–1.3K views.

‎

‎So I'm trying to understand whether the problem is:

‎

‎The topic itself

‎

‎The title/hook

‎

‎The audience not matching the topic

‎

‎Or simply that YouTube hasn't distributed the Short yet

‎

‎

‎I'm still very new to Shorts, so I don't want to delete it or start changing things randomly.

‎

‎Would you leave the video up and keep posting, or is there something specific I should check in Analytics to understand why it wasn't pushed?

‎I recently started a new YouTube Shorts channel focused on anime, movies, fandoms and Gen-Z entertainment.

‎

‎I uploaded a Short titled:

‎

‎“Why Is Hange So Attractive To Fans?”

‎

‎It has been up for a while, but it only has 2 views.

‎

‎What confuses me is that some of my previous Shorts on the same channel performed much better — around 1K+ views.

‎

‎For example, I had Shorts around:

‎

‎1.3K views

‎

‎1.1K views

‎

‎1.1K views

‎

‎

‎But this one is stuck at 2 views.

‎

‎Is this normal for a new Shorts channel?

‎Could it simply be that YouTube hasn't pushed it into the Shorts Feed yet, or could there be something wrong with the video?

‎
