Reality is they don't want more creators touching monitization criteria at any cost

[BrettyPOV]

I’ve had a video with like 700 views and 350 likes. And dozens of comments. Then they just stop showing impressions despite the crazy high engagement.

Who else has noticed a sudden decline in their shorts views lately?

[TheMNB]

such a bogus explanation.

They aren't popular, so they don't get views is basically all he said. He provided no information as to why they basically get a 45-60 minute window and then the plug is yanked. I'm sure there are exceptions, but there was no explanation as to how those happen or how the creator can get more than a blip on the graph out of a short.

So YouTube JUST ADMITTED THEY'RE DICTATING WHAT VIDEOS GO VIRAL

[ExaltedWarrior]

This sounds like a BS excuse. If the short wasn't popular it wouldn't get any views at all. Not get a bunch a views and then immediately stop. What's the incentive for making shorts when the views suddenly stop? I only make shorts to funnel people to my channel. If shorts only get a certain amount of views then what's the point? If YouTube wants to take over the short form content game, they need to make it more lucrative for the creators. Otherwise, it's a waste of my time to create them. At least my long form videos get consistent views.

so basicly what your saying, is that youtube with all of its almighty algorithm still cant find the right audience for my shorts after 250 shorts. even though my main videos get 5-10k views with 2 videos over 50k hmmmm

[BlueLineVibes]

I still find it fascinating that a Multi-Billion dollar company like YouTube, still can't implement the ability to have a thumbnail for your YouTube shorts on a PC. You still have to use the phone app for that. Ya ya "But they are going to implement that soon..." been hearing that for over a year.

The YouTube algorithm pushes my shorts 6 hours every time I upload so now am familiar with it and am satisfied but mostly it'll drop around 7k views after 6 hours then between the next 6 hours the shorts keeps on getting views

[lucyflavortales]

I gained 20K views in 2 week from shorts, with min of 400 and max of 1900 views everyday. All of sudden I only got 1-2 views or not at all. Do you think YouTube shadowbanned me?

[KA]

Ii noticed a crucial thing for shorts, uploading at a certain time, I like to upload shorts either very early in the morning at like 2 - 3 am, or at 9 - 11 pm (EST) and I have gotten 2k views on my most recent with this!

[FactFictional]

Mine are usually capped around 1.5 to 1.8k views

[GoPositiveDK]

That's why the TikTok algorithm is unmatched

[abdullayamin]

This has happened to me, i need to see the full interview

[desertcatmoto]

Boils down…THEY DON’T wanna PAY. LOL Let’s be real.

[aspectsreflections]

I haven’t had a single view in over 10 days. I got 15 views then, and I posted another video yesterday and no views. Really hating YouTube.

[ProjectWaltuh]

I spend so much time on my videos/shorts and still get no views 😢

[kitchen]

My shorts are not been shown in the feed since this Monday. they are underperforming than usual! what could be the issue please suggest?

[B-RATEDComedyX]

Question: after you launch a short or video and it does like less then 30 views cuz I messed up the title or hashtags…. Whatever it is I then make an edit.

How does the algorithm treat edited content videos ? Like set it to private, fix it then re launch or on the fly or does an edit have any impact at all ?

Or how long before the algorithm picks up the video again due to the edits ?

Thank you for your time 🥂
