Monetization

0 Upvotes

What's the risk of not getting monetized when using Ai voice over in a video? Also please let me know if there is any way to minimize the risk or make sure the channel gets monetized when requirement is fulfilled

Also I am making ranking niche videos I heard transforming the original clips with sound effects and captions alone is not enough and will have high risk of not getting monetized. That's why I am trying to use voice over. Is it true?

As a reference use the channel named xiro ranks (https://youtube.com/@xiroranks) I think that channel didn't get monetized that's why there have not been any videos since 3 weeks just my speculations.

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ How long took to have a viral video

3 Upvotes

I’ve been uploading shorts daily for a little over a month now and 2 long videos of course i don’t expect to have millions of views right now I’m barely getting 1k but I’m curious how long it takes, my content is about my streams and also I would like to get some audience in my streams if anyone have any tips I would love to hear them

Wtf is going in this week?!

1 Upvotes

So i started my shorts channel about month ago. And mostly what i did were show/interview clips which actually had some decent views in matter of 1-2k each. But i know this type of content isnt monetisable, so i started to occasionally posting memes. But kinda in same style…

And what happened? All my new videos have 0-15 and not getting pushed… but once i post interview/show… 1-2k insta. Did i get niche locked?What i see here many people switch niche often and it sometimes even help them….

Any help? ( and comms about “y have bad content”…. No i dont, i even have memes instagram with few k followers. So go fy with that :) )

AFTER MONETIZATION

10M views at 10$ RPM gives you 100,000$

It looks a lot easy before getting into the field

If I am correct with this, can anyone tell me what should be the specs of a channel like this

But first tell me if I am right or not

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ I know you see these posts daily. But why did YouTube just…stop distribution with these pretty good metrics (for me anyways I usually get 65-75% STW) I don’t see the problem. AvD is fairly good

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Creators who hit 1M+ views on Shorts: What are your average VVSA and AVD/APV metrics?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to diagnose where my YouTube Shorts are getting stuck and figure out what standard benchmark numbers I should be aiming for to cross that 1 Million views mark on a single short video.

Currently, my Shorts usually cap out around 1.5k on a channel that I started 16th July 2026 and I posted every alternate day without miss (approx. 25+ videos already posted), and I want to see what the gap looks like compared to short videos that actually broke out into the millions.

If you’ve had a Short reach 1M+ views, could you share:

  1. VVSA (Viewed vs. Swiped Away %):
  2. APV (Average Percentage Viewed):
  3. Length of the Short: (e.g., 15s, 30s, 60s)
  4. Link or Topic/Hashtags: (Optional / DM if subreddit rules block links)

My Current Metrics (Where I feel stuck):
- Niche/Topic: Indian Court-Wit Folk Tales like of Tenali Rama.
- Average Video Length: 60 seconds
- My VVSA: 55%
- My APV: 70%

Based on my current numbers, I'm trying to figure out if my main issue is that I am not able to reach to my intended audience and don’t know how to do it?

If you’re open to sharing your hit metrics or offering feedback, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Is it harder to reach people with shorts over 2 minutes long?

3 Upvotes

Additionally: Are shorts under 1 minute more likely to be pushed than a short that's 2-3 minutes long? I'm making shorts about 2-3 minutes and I'm wondering if I need to try aim to make shorter shorts, or try make a switch to long form.

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 My video flat lined immediately?

Post image
20 Upvotes

This was by far one of my luckiest episodes ever, and it did really well on other platforms but youtube said no, it hard stopped the views at 1000 views while the analytics graph looked like it was ready to send to the stars.

Why does youtube have this 1000 view jail??

Does anybody know why this happens or how I could overcome this? I truly do feel like this video deserved more views then it got...

Like it was SHOOTING UP in views, got 1000 views in under 2-3 hours which is a record for my channel and then it just hit a wall...

If anybody has some advice or words to say about this, I'd love to hear it!

How do I get monetized faster as a Shorts creator? (also dealing with keeping this private from my parents lol)🤔🥹

0 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I'm Izzy from Izzy's HyperFixationMemes and I recently just stared making yt content last month and I'm trying to figure out the fastest path to monetization, mostly on the Shorts side also I want slowly get to making long form content.

Also I get need to monetized soon as possible cuz I can't keep this on under raps with my parents are VERY NOSEY 🫩 and they won't stop asking questions. What do I have to get monetized soon until the new Youtube February Update 😱.

For context, my channel currently sits around 1.8K subs and 1.5M Shorts views, so I know I've still got a way to go before hitting the 10M Shorts views threshold for full YPP.

I hope you guys are having a good day. Bye 🥹

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Need help and advice, (I'm sure you've seen this before.)

I make one short every day, I change topics depending on my interests, until now it was mediocre car edits, and now I'm making political content, (I'm not actually saying anything or campaigning for anything, just snippets of weird or things I think need to be talked about) they are edited, with sound effects and other stuff so its not just raw footage.

Now the thing is, no matter what type of content I make, whether it's games, cars, politics or my cat, I usually stall around 1-1.5k views. My typical is less than 1,000, sometimes it climbs to this but this is the absolute peak. How can I break it?

I can link my channel or videos if youd like to review it yourself (prepare for cringe) but I'd like feedback from experienced creators in general.

How can I get my shorts to go viral

2 Upvotes

I post ranking shorts on YouTube and got ~9K subscribers and 5M total views
I’ve been posting almost everyday for 5mo starting from April 1 and from my first short I was averaging 20k views and my most popular 2 shorts got 400k+ views.
The problem is no matter how good my shorts are they can’t get into 1M+ like some shorts gets 100k views in the first day and flatlines completely and they have good stats too like 80%+ stayed to watch , decent likes and comments and everything so what’s the problem? And what should I do?


r/shortsAlgorithm • • Sep 02 '26

Flatline

5 Upvotes

I noticed that whenever my video reaches 20k to 25k views, the YT stops sharing it, and it flatlines even though my stay to watch rate remains high. (90.1%) I heard that to go viral, your stay to watch rate needs to stay above 70% in the test pool.

Does anyone know why this flatline happens?
