People think that shorts are easier than long content because it is just a shorter video but to grab people's attention in less than 2 seconds you have to have a lot of skill and it is really hard.

YouTube has definitely made some changes, and I can tell you that as a small channel, I've felt the impact. I've been around for a long time and have never been monetized because I don't need that hustle. About eight months ago, my live streams and video shorts started getting a significant boost in views. However, suddenly around the end of June this year, no matter what live video or short I uploaded, the views dropped to single digits, even for shorts. This decline has persisted, and my view hours have also fallen off.

I'm not alone in this issue. Many other creators in my niche are experiencing the same problem. Despite our efforts, we haven't found a solution. I produce walking vlogs, gaming content, gaming news, and podcast-style live streams. Even larger channels in the same niches that are monetized have seen a significant drop in views. Some of these creators have been doing this for over five years as their full-time income but can no longer earn enough views due to the decline in the last 6 to 8 months. its almost as if there is a decline in you tube across the Board that the largest of large have not been hit with a big enough drop that they are talking just yet about .

My shorts views are dropping drastically, I'm scared 😰

[hullsome]

My shorts views are at all time highs, the 'jumping into the action' section of this video is spot on. Skip the intro and jump right into the interesting stuff!

i have over 140, 000 subscribers & Youtube was my full time job since 2010, and NOW im about to become homeless, all my time, effort, blood, sweat and tears down the drain all for nothing, all due to youtube changing up the website way to many times, youtube used to send out numerous notifications a day now they only send out 3 a day, plus the algorithm is messed up as well, half my subs dont even get my videos anymore, its sad that this was my full time job now ill be homeless living in a tent in a couple of weeks! Unreal! as much as i love my subs and fans, it goes to show you that it doesn't matter how many subs you have in 2024!

To everyone reading this, don’t give up! Your big break could be just around the corner :)!

The view counter says I'm literaly the first viewer

[Everyman]

So no explanation why AVERAGE shorts views went down by 95% on my channel in one day, at the end of June, and never recovered. I maintained quality, frequency and amount all through July and it never got better.

[ThePandaBrain]

Although I will point out sometimes shorts randomly blow up, for no reason. Just keep creating and having fun.

Great video, there is one thing I’d add to this:

In my experience YouTube sometimes puts your channel in front of your audience but sometimes it gives chance to other creators. What I experienced is my shorts would get decent views for like 5-6 weeks, and then whatever I do for 3-4 weeks my channel would perform at 30% compared to those previous weeks. In those 5-6 weeks I’d have about 40-100k views but in the first 48 hours in the low cycle I’d have 2-20k. Views on my evergreen shorts would drop as well, all in the same time.

Then the cycle starts again. Views coming in, the videos I have uploaded within those 3-4 low weeks would get decent views, old videos would pick up the speed as well.

Not sure what’s causing these cycles but I’d assume it’s the fact that there are many creators and everyone needs to have a chance at succeeding.

6:31 it’s a mystery. I follow all advice and guidelines, still not getting desired views on shorts

[MinecrafterJoe]

My shorts usualy get about 10k views and then just stop there

[WazPlays]

My shorts Went from like 10k per vid to 500 per vid

[kaizengng]

From 4.2 million views on the day of July 26th, my views constantly declined every single day, now sitting at a 300k views a day, I'm honestly super confused and mad at the same time, knowing I can't do anything about it.

[mrcontrol]

YouTube shorts are extremely cruel and ruthless
I been struggling to get monetised for the past 4 years guys trust me and i still can't hit just a simple 10 million views
I have changed 10 different niches but still couldn't get my channel monetised
This is absolutely insane

[SnowFamilyRacing]

I've made some shorts aimed for search based traffic, they're continually getting traffic in the hundreds of views daily. I've got shorts that die off after a day and others that keeps going. Long form is definitely my focus, however, I'm still going to make shorts that add value to my audience as the situation arises.

[kevinkirathe]

Avoid shorts completely, they will ruin your channel. I did it and it almost ruined mine. I had to delete most of them. Hey, I might be wrong

[Feenyassassin]

Once I hit 1000 I am cutting shorts out significantly and going to focus more on long form content.

[PetRockyFamily]

Hope everyone see this channel will bigger bigger and bigger!!!

The major disruptor is the demography, upload timing, niche maintenance & understanding the demand of your audience & make amends accordingly.
