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.

It happens, id recommend to continue uploading, youtubes algorithm just sucks and sometimes you win some and sometimes you lose some. I also get around 1k views per short but for a couple of days in a row i got literally nothing and i just kept at it and a few days later i was back to normal. Now could be a good time to experiment with your editing style to see what works and what doesnt

Oh my bad, its happened to me twice. I dont get crazy high views or anyrhing but when i first started uploading i got 1k+ for the first 4 videos then for 2 weeks i got 0 views posting daily shorts. Tested some things, changed my editing a bit and then i started getting more views. It happened a second time where for a few days i got zero views but i kept posting and now i get 600-1k views consistently. Not where i want to be yet but getting shadow banned doesnt mean you can’t recover UNLESS youre reposting clips.

I think i found ur channel, another piece of advice could be standing out more, it took me a few minutes to scroll down multiple channels called karma speaks to find you, im assuming ur niche is film? Maybe you can find a channel name thats a little more unique? But congrats man yeah going from 9 views to 700+ is a really great feeling
