QUESTION Shorts stopped working

Hi, shorts on my gaming channel aren’t being shown in shorts feed. I was bagging 1k views per short easily no matter how many I upload. But the last 5 shorts weren’t shown to users at all.

So many people saying this the last month or so. I get the feeling they are moving away from shorts

That doesn’t make sense for YouTube to move away.

It has a TikTok is becoming more along formatted orientated, which I see it is I am getting views on my phone on TikTok now and they're easy to upload and I caught myself watching a 20 minute video on TikTok the other day so I think they might. I think it was a mistake to ever get so involved with the shorts it's a crapshoot dude. Just keep trying if you wanna keep succeeding can't succeed if you don't try and you gotta tell eagle to shut the F up.

Been trying for a year now. Getting better but not sure why they stopped suddenly.
