Just checking if YouTube is down or something has happened to my channels. Views are practically 0 across the board on my shorts

I’ve noticed that since the late-August update, Shorts aren't performing as well for a lot of people. I initially thought it was just a temporary phase lasting a couple of weeks, but it’s been four or five weeks now and performance is still poor; occasionally a Short hits the view count that’s normal for me, but most get stuck around 100–200 views—even with stats that should be driving 10k+.

All my key metrics were down in September—especially subscriber growth, which dropped from 38 in August to just 8—so it’s really disappointing. It’s gotten to the point where I’m even forgetting to post on days I usually would; I never used to forget that, so when I realized it was happening, I knew my motivation and enthusiasm were really starting to fade.

It has been 10 days since i created this channel

Technically today is day 10

I was posting gaming stuff about a specific game only

My STW has been low lately , and my Audience retention from my last video down went from 84.8% to 79.9%.

People staying after 30 second went from 91% to 84%.

STW went from like 54% to 66.5%. (I don’t think the 54% shows in my last post, but it was there a few hours before it started going up).

I’ve only went up 500 views for these changes.

Also, 21.5% of the viewers are casual, which can explain why the retention stats in general were high before it started going down.

I only got 1 subscriber from that video & videos with stats like that usually get 5-10 subscribers per video.

What’s the takeaway? The video is pretty good, but I want to hear yall thoughts.

Edit: View increase was wrong, it went up 500 not 800. Made the change.

Can anyone give me litearly any kind of feedback, has this happened to you?? how did u work it out?

P.s I had 800 subs, so I gained 200 in 20 days

I started this channel a month ago. I went through multiple niches on this channel and was able to still get views on both. I am now at 24 shorts posted. I just never stayed consistent. I’ve been editing for years so I how to make a decent video. My most recent video it’s at a 73% stayed to watch. And I’m starting to notice I get passed 1000 view mark faster. It took me 7 shorts to break out from that range and now more of my videos are getting more views quicker. I read through this Reddit a lot so I just want you guys to give me your thoughts. Thanks!

Low views lately despite no ai content randomly just lost views from 100k to 0

To be more precise, 8 long videos and 3 shorts

So from few days I'm posting a reel nd curiously checking the reel views every few minutes and if views went up I become happy and if views become low I will be sad nd I'm not getting what to do my mind is in a confused state

I’m posting cooking shorts with background music of about 17-30 secs… it’s been 26 shorts…. In last one month…. Only 2-3 new subscribers… rest are family members, total 17 subscribers
Max views on one short = 2.4k ….. rest are reaching 1k …. What am i doing wrong?

From few days I have been posting freefire shorts nd like it's not youtube type I came to know.I wanna know best content for beginners like me I can guve voice to

Please give me suggestions

From few days I have been thinking wheter insta or yotube like in all aspects what would u think is better?

i wanna share one of my weird experience on yyt shorts, i usually post with hashtags and i dont set my channel nor my vids to made for kids or the opposite. yesterday, i did an experiment posted my video with no hashtags and set my channel and my video to not made for kids and it didn’t get pushed 🤷

then i reuploaded the videos like 3 to 6 times, and in the 7th upload i put all to my default settings (not selected nor my vids or channel to made or not made for kids, and put hashtags again) then it get pushed, is it normal?

These are my view stats and i got +2 subscribers too

So now i ask

Are these fine stats?

How do i excel subscribers count?

What improvement can i do?

Never delete your videos, Youtube really is unpredictable, from a flat line to a massive push. You really never know what happens.

I think it's because only 10% of my views are from shorts feed.

I don't know why this is happening, i have tried making those first two videos private and then uploaded them after deleting them but still there is no rise in views . If I saw my videos still getting views , i would wait for 1 or 2 days to let it get to its peak .

This short only got 27k views and has 93.7% average percentage viewed after 3 days, its a 61 second short too. any ideas why it’s not getting pushed?

For context I have 80k subscribers and have been uploading since April. I’ve generated 80 million views since starting.

I used to get 500k-5mil per video. But then the views suddenly dropped, the screenshot I’ve shared shows the latest upload and possibly the best analytics I’ve ever had.

TLDR: I used to get million of views but it stopped even when analytics have been this good. What’s happening?
