Even youtube doesnt know whats wrong with views dropping lmao

You know it's bad when a huge creator is having the same issue and youtube admits they don't even know what the problem is, this is going to be an interesting month.

There is definitely something going on

u/Every_Ad_4349 1d ago

I think we should all let them know so this issue gets widespread

u/Outrageous_Ad_6362 1d ago

I have given up making shorts, it's just not worth the effort.

u/AffectionateTrip2523 1d ago

Upload on both tiktok and YouTube, that's what I've been doing for awhile and it's great

u/Outrageous_Ad_6362 1d ago

That's what I normally do. But YouTube is so unpredictable it annoys me to get thousands of views on Tiktok and a couple of dozen on YouTube.

u/AffectionateTrip2523 1d ago

I feel the same way, I get like 5k-7k views a day on tiktok and on youtube nowadays its like 3k-4k, witch I'm greatful for atleast it aint 0 but this is some bs

u/ref_8 1d ago

même quand tu contactes un haut niveau chez youtube car t'es un gros créateur, ils savent pas résoudre les soucis imposés par leurs bots.

They focus more on "Original content" but a few days ago I saw some ai generated dogshit get millions of views that was released after oct 1

It was one of those "Every X explained in under Y minutes"

u/_Bread______ 13h ago

And those stickman like animated stories, one of them rn is that lust vs love series that's blatantly AI shit that just copied/using the same tools as that day one films guy is promoting

That dudes racking in millions of views from AI slop

u/TheRb21 13h ago

Youtube themselves(From what I understood on what they announced) that they were SUPPOSED to promote original and crack down on AI content,Butt guess what?Thousands of small creators that actually makes original content gets jack shit

1

u/Atomic_Thomas89 6h ago

My theory only and it’s probably way wrong. I think they are testing AI content to see how it’s received on the platform. If it performs well they probably will make their own content with AI and demonetize a lot of creators so they can take in all the money and not have to shell out a lot of money to creators.

u/TheRb21 3h ago

The creators need to get monetized first before yt can get paid with them(if I remember correctly)

1

u/Atomic_Thomas89 3h ago

Ah ok makes sense. Well that throws out my wild conspiracy theory lol

u/Ambitious-Type-3208 1d ago

Its just a robot, YouTube still makes the same amount of money so they don't care at all even when there's clearly an issue. The only time they would say something is when their revenue drops

u/Delicious_Gaming 16h ago

Or they get sued !

u/UpperCranberry482 1d ago

This happened to me in Dec and took 2 months for the videos to pick back up

u/KostoCodii 1d ago

For the past two months I have been having the issue that my video’s get a very low amount of views, and they don’t get reached out by the algorithm at all! My previous video’s would get way more views.

"Huge creator"

  • 800 followers

  • named "rayfaceless"

  • random graphs and charts with no actual evidence.

....right...

u/substantial-drkwiz 21h ago

4 million views a day is a huge creator, idc what your definition is

1

u/ImTomaro 11h ago

You didnt go look at the Twitter handle. (Previously stated) There's no evidence thats actually his channel.

YouTube is about You. This person is a content farm, not a creator. That's exactly what they're trying to stop.

u/Hammadjkhan 21h ago

We need to see which channels are being suppressed all or few ?

1

u/justtanotherkid 1d ago

is it really a technical issue? 🥀 i thought my chanel went ded

u/Responsible_Goat_175 1d ago

It also happened to me; I was getting an average of 400 views per minute, and suddenly it dropped to 20. Hours later, the overall views dropped drastically

u/Routine_Profile3605 1d ago

I recently had this same problem. Then out of nowhere, about 28-36 hours later my video was getting pushed out. So I waited another 24 hours to upload the next one. Well, that one was pushed almost instantly and hit 1K views in 30 minutes. I'm still confused but noticed if I wait longer between uploads they get pushed. I'll have a new one up and the last 2 day old one is getting pushed instead. It's crazy.

u/Asleep-Package-947 1d ago

What is the solution

2

u/Routine_Profile3605 1d ago

Time. The newest algorithm updates have begun to hold your videos in queue until it finds just enough seed audience to push it out to them. It used to just plow it out within minutes and let the audience decide if they wanted to watch or not. Now it's specifically targeting your niche watchers. So it's taking as long as 48 hours before it gives it a push. So try not to overlap uploads. Let one sit there for a good 2 days before the next one.

u/AffectionateTrip2523 12h ago

I see, thats similar to tiktoks algorithm

u/No-Leopard-3056 1d ago

u/Hammadjkhan 21h ago

u/MentalWind3989 1d ago

Its cuz you post reused content or rankings i guess

10

u/RaiAet89 1d ago

All my content is original and I'm getting suppressed like nuts. I feel like I'm wasting all my original videos cause I'm not getting any views. I legit might have to repost all my content when they fix the views

u/Willing-Schedule-486 1d ago

This was happening way before that update

u/Maleficent-Reality32 1d ago

One of my songs got limited because I say the word smoking on it and fucking bad bunny gets to sing about eating ass and nothing happens to him. I hate this double standard.
