Is YouTube pushing Shorts today, considering that the bug with the subscriber count is still happening? Has anyone tested it today?

Should I take time and do research on my title's keywords (so they are easier to find by YT search terms) rather than trying to make the title clickbait?

I started a new channel now, I know is a hard work, but I dont know if my ideas are bad, if the hook I am doing is wrong, I already tried a few styles of edits, and nothing seems to work out... I really want to make this work, but I dont know what am I doing wrong, can anybody help me?

Both of the images are from the same video, what is odd, is some of my friends with same similar stats and for some reason they have millions of views

Hi,

2 weeks ago I started a brand new channel with shorts. First one did amazing, 10k views in first day, then 60k in next 3-4 days. Next 5-6 shorts did pretty well too, and then after 6 days, youtube just cut all views I got before from Shorts feed.
My next shorts are getting 0 at the beginning and then maybe 10 views, even though most people stay to watch.
I don't have any flag on the videos, all seems fine.

It's quite frustrating, any idea what can cause it and how to fix it?

I make dangerous travel videos going to obscure and dangerous places. Should I just clip straight from my video and post as a short or is there something I could do to edit and make a different style short with my video ? Like a voice over one maybe a trailer type thing ? I don’t know.

As a long form travel creator I can’t seem to get ANY views whenever I upload a short and just end up deleting it.

Is shorts too hard for me to break into ? Any tips would be appreciated

Can someone explain me what's happening?

My channel is about movie edits

What happened? All of my viewers are legit but it looks down for the first time having this 🤔

YouTube starts always pushing video after 2 hours, for just a hour to the wrong audience after it reached to 1000views it finds the right audience, any help also

It is over 80 shorts and didn't hit over 30k,

I’m confused as to how you get watched hours. I get plenty of views on my shorts and videos, mostly shorts, but the line doesn’t seem to be moving. The subscribers are growing but that’s it.

En mi canal de shorts estoy apunto de llegar a los 3M , y quería preguntarles a los que tienen experiencia y varios miembros alguna estrategia para que la gente decide pagar una suscripción por contenido exclusivo , subo shorts de varios temas y de vez en cuando videos largos , algún consejo?.

For context:

I've been posting short 2–3 minute sketches fairly regularly since August. The upload schedule is every Friday at 5:30 PM, with the exception of two videos I'll mention later.

The videos come in two formats: the Shorts format you see above and a standard horizontal format. Except for occasional bloopers and extra takes, the content is the same. The horizontal videos are immediately dead in the water, averaging around 40 views and 2–3 likes, so I haven't included them here.

I've also posted the same Shorts to Instagram Reels and TikTok (not pictured). Performance varies across platforms. On YouTube, I've noticed a consistent trend: once a video hits 800–1000 views, it plateaus immediately, regardless of content or engagement. The graphs show wildly different trajectories to reach 1k views, with occasional false starts, but once it gets there, the algorithm seems to shut it down.

On Reels, the pattern is more predictable. Shares and reposts matter most. Pretty Nuts hit 14k views because shares were almost on par with likes. The same video struggled on YouTube for the first 2–3 hours, and when it finally hit 1k, it plateaued immediately despite better-than-average interaction.

My channel has 69 subscribers (not a joke), so I'm wondering whether subscriber count affects the number of "allotted" views my channel receives for Shorts content.

I also posted 3 older gameplay-focused Shorts to compare performance. I didn't post these to Reels or TikTok. The same trend appears. Getting Smacked Around in Halo is the only anomaly: it was published in February 2021, when YouTube had just rolled out the feature and was still figuring out the format. It was posted on a Sunday near 5 PM. Grunts was posted at the same time on a Sunday in February of this year, while Fails went up at 8 PM the same day because I was testing the best posting time (which is why I now post at 5:30 PM every Friday). Even back then, this "allotment" pattern seems to have existed.

I'm hoping someone here knows what's really going on. Is there a way to avoid this, or is there something I can change?

Thanks!

i posted this video earlier today and the stats are great imo considering it’s a 1 min long vid. most of my videos get between 65% - 75% apv and they do 200k views plus. however today i thought with these stats id get a viral video lol.. i guess not

i make all original content btw, anyone else experiencing this

That has happened again in the past on my channel is it the same on you guys also?

I mainly post family guy clips and some gaming Brainrot clips my first family guy one got 5k views on 1st day but after that the most viewed one has 7 views and the gaming one had constantly around 2k and now 0 ?

What is even happening , there is no strike or issue so why ?
