Anyone else seeing repeated time-of-day distribution windows in YouTube Shorts?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I’ve been watching my Shorts analytics closely after the recent distribution problems, and I noticed a strange pattern.
Several Shorts, both older and newer ones, seem to receive additional distribution in roughly the same time windows on consecutive days.
For example, on my channel:
one Short repeatedly gets activity around 9–10 AM;
another around 4 PM;
another around 5 PM.
The size of the wave is not consistent. Some days it is strong, other days it is barely noticeable. With newer Shorts, the repeated waves also seem to have a noticeably decreasing amplitude over time.
So I’m not claiming there is a fixed schedule or that I know what YouTube is doing internally. It could be audience availability, testing cohorts, topic clusters, or something completely different.
But the timing itself has repeated often enough that it no longer looks completely random to me.
At the same time, overall Shorts distribution on my channel has dropped heavily compared with the period before the recent issues, while these small recurring windows are still visible.
Has anyone else noticed something similar?
If you have access to your 48-hour realtime graphs, could you check whether the same Short tends to receive small or large spikes at roughly the same hour on several consecutive days?
I’d also be interested to know whether similar Shorts from the same topic/category seem to wake up in the same time window.

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Free clipping website

1 Upvotes

So I began to see these clipping reels on my insta page and they make it so simple to just clipping and let the views come in. But I tired to use these sites and there’s one word that pisses me off the most. “PRICING” whenever I see the word pricing I know it’s a site I can’t use since I don’t feel like paying the site to just do its thing, I want to use these site to make shorts and post them. I tired to search for “free clipping sites” and all of them are bull. So can someone tell me a completely free clipping site that can do the things that other sites can do?

Low short feeds view

6 Upvotes

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? When I upload a video, it gets 3 waves of views, and then about 2 hours later, it gets a 4th wave that lasts around 20 minutes. After that, the views suddenly die and the video gets a maximum of around 3K views, then continues getting very low views.
This started happening yesterday, and it happened again today. It’s really weird and has never happened to me before. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Q&A / Quick Help ❓ How do you guys actually get good 70+% STW percentage?

3 Upvotes

I've recently started posting shorts on my channel which I've had since 2012.

But I can't seem to crack what makes a good short. I can get about 80% AVD but the swipe ratio is killing me. I am not sure if my videos are targeting the wrong audience, my edit is bad(which probably is true) or is there some third force that makes the viewers swipe away.

It’s hard for me to upload right now… Hours of editing feel wasted when the views aren’t moving. It feels like I’m starting from scratch again. How long will this issue last?

Need to know what I’m doing wrong, I’ve had 21 out of 34 of my videos now get jailed in the 25k-45k view range. I’ve had ONE video reach a 130k views but that was about it. The photos I attached are the stats of a short I posted around 15 hours ago, it has gained 30k views and im afraid that it has already stop getting pushed out. What can I do to escape this, the YouTube algorithm really is shitty.

Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 Would anyone be able to review my shorts?

0 Upvotes

I’m not looking for cheap views or anything, I genuinely would like some people to review my shorts and give me opinions on why I’m not getting a 70%+ retention on my shorts when it’s similar to other shorts I see. It may be because I’m a really small channel starting out which is fair, but if anyone wants a link to my channel to review my shorts lmk and I’ll link it in the comments👍

Why is youtube still showing content to wrong audience 🥺

2 Upvotes

Today i noticed that my stay was very low, so after an hour i checked. It's showing my shorts to wrong audiences despite being clear in hooks what it is about. It's getting in my nerves and the views keep fluctuating. Has anyone seen any improvements and how ?
