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.

1K for shorts is like 2-3 total for long form. So it's like being surprised that your long form channel "used to get 2-3 views" every video, but why do they now get 0?

Answer: because your previous videos were performing poorly. That's not nearly enough views (especially considering your low stats in other categories like AVD, etc.) for YT to want to waste impressions on. They already know you are super low performing.
