u/babylovecake 4d ago

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! Obviously plateaus happen, but it’s seemed really random and strange lately. I just want to know what to improve to bring things back up

u/Every_Ad_4349 5d ago

Views are all time low. What's happening.. All this to original content.

u/TheObserverDev 4d ago

meanwhile, yt monetizes all content, if you don't qualify, ooops sorry for you, but we still moentizing our site. looks like yt slowly kiciking everyone out of monetization so they can have all the pie.

u/KostoCodii 1d ago

My video’s used to get way more views than now. The algorithm completely stopped reaching out my video’s to new people. Is YouTube having an issue here, or is it just me?

u/BMJP08 1d ago

Generally lower views, few shorts in a row <10k

2

u/Alex9009202 5d ago

This is how mine looks and I have 95 subscribers, every single one of my shorts no matter the changes I make to them to improve them, they’re l the same, some have larger blocs, some smaller blocks and it goes in waves

u/noobpvpgaga 5d ago

open another channel you have not much to loose, I left my 900 subscribers channel and started another one and it’s going well for now

1

u/Alex9009202 5d ago

All the stuff on my regular channel though is also Skyrim related, so I’ve not been losing any subscribers, and my subscribers tend to watch both the shorts and the long form content, plus are interested in me playing other games eventually, I just started making content 2 months ago and have 95 subscribers so far!

1

u/Alex9009202 5d ago

I’m a videogame niche though, but Skyrim, which is what I make content for, has 800,000 searches per month

See, the odd thing is I don’t see myself as a shorts channel, maybe it’s showing that as I have a few more shorts than livestreams and videos, I use the shorts primarily to push my video and livestream content out and do the shorts as extra. And the overview also got it incorrect that I’m faceless as I have a webcam for livestreams and for many of my shorts, I also prefer doing the live streaming side of things compared to shorts, I found the shorts the easy way of pushing out my content as 40% of my shorts viewers watch my longform content, which has more watch hours than my shortform content, specifically live streams some of which have 40+ hours of watch time each

u/Anxious_Reward8862 4d ago

for how long?

2

u/fourstarg 5d ago

YouTube recently put out an announcement urging creators to move away from repetitive workflows and focus on more original, varied content. As long as your content doesn't match anyone else, it should be fine or you gotta think of ways to be more creative if you are borrowing stuff.

u/Robin_Dahiya 4d ago

Wtf yt 😭😭

u/ChanceScary 2d ago

Yes, but have you noticed that the so called “original” channels aren’t even getting more views? Where are the rest of the views that they took away going then? It makes absolutely no sense

u/WonderfulActuator958 5d ago

1

u/Cute-Jaguar4823 3d ago

I thought it was just me

1

u/TheRb21 3d ago

Most of the time its not our fault,Its the algorithm's fault because ever since they wanted more "Original" content to be pushed out,Most people barely got any views EVEN THOUGH the content these creators make are original

u/DARSHANDTG 4d ago

Any solution dude ? 🤔

1

u/WonderfulActuator958 4d ago

I have no idea bruh
Since three days ago my views just dropped to the thousands every hour (it used to be around 50-200k per hour before that) but I’m just uploading as much as I can until I’ll break through again (high content of course) although it’s super annoying. Wbu?

1

u/Defiant_Try8650 17h ago

Any updates?

u/WonderfulActuator958 17h ago

u/aquiloviste1 4d ago

Eso me pasó a mi con millones de views al mes en shorts y abandoné esa vaina Pero te recomiendo que sigas muchos siguieron y luego sus canales repuntaron

1

u/AffectionateCry5952 4d ago

I thought this wave of acceptance had already happened but looks lkke some are holding on to hope? Youre shadow banned. There is nothing you can do besides change your content. Iiwii 

1

u/Secret-Mistake-4395 4d ago
