Reality is they don't want more creators touching monitization criteria at any cost

@brett.unbound

I’ve had a video with like 700 views and 350 likes. And dozens of comments. Then they just stop showing impressions despite the crazy high engagement.

@Shanedmc2

Who else has noticed a sudden decline in their shorts views lately?

@BlueLineVibes

I still find it fascinating that a Multi-Billion dollar company like YouTube, still can't implement the ability to have a thumbnail for your YouTube shorts on a PC. You still have to  use the phone app for that.  Ya ya "But they are going to implement that soon..."  been hearing that for over a year.

@RobeonMew

So YouTube JUST ADMITTED THEY'RE DICTATING WHAT VIDEOS GO VIRAL

@TheMNB

such a bogus explanation.

They aren't popular, so they don't get views is basically all he said.  He provided no information as to why they basically get a 45-60 minute window and then the plug is yanked.  I'm sure there are exceptions, but there was no explanation as to how those happen or how the creator can get more than a blip on the graph out of a short.

Small channels let’s gather here🙏🏻🔥

@TheDetriotChickenPattyHustler

This sounds like a BS excuse. If the short wasn't popular it wouldn't get any views at all. Not get a bunch a views and then immediately stop. What's the incentive for making shorts when the views suddenly stop? I only make shorts to funnel people to my channel. If shorts only get a certain amount of views then what's the point? If YouTube wants to take over the short form content game, they need to make it more lucrative for the creators. Otherwise, it's a waste of my time to create them. At least my long form videos get consistent views.

@GoPositiveDK

That's why the TikTok algorithm is unmatched

@FLBJNR

The YouTube algorithm pushes my shorts 6 hours every time I upload so now am familiar with it and am satisfied but mostly it'll drop around 7k views after 6 hours then between the next 6 hours the shorts keeps on getting views

Small channels let's gather here 🎉🎉❤

@FactFictional

Mine are usually capped around 1.5 to 1.8k views

@TheKnexMaker

so basicly what your saying, is that youtube with all of its almighty algorithm still cant find the right audience for my shorts after 250 shorts. even though my main videos get 5-10k views with 2 videos over 50k hmmmm

@abdullayamin

This has happened to me, i need to see the full interview

@K15A6

Ii noticed a crucial thing for shorts, uploading at a certain time, I like to upload shorts either very early in the morning at like 2 - 3 am, or at 9 - 11 pm (EST) and I have gotten 2k views on my most recent with this!

@Aarav_CanEdit

Same thing happened to me it went like 2 thousand then 12K then 9K then…. 2 views

@MurphyMusicAcademy

My most recent short got 5K views in 3 days (I have 16k subs), has 60% of the viewers not swiping away, and a retention average of 40 seconds, all from only being shown in the shorts feed 8K times, AND YET it has just suddenly stopped being shown in the shorts feed. All other metrics have remained the same, but being shown in the feed? That has barely gone up. You'd think a video that was performing well by all other metrics would be promoted by YouTube more

@desertcatmoto

Boils down…THEY DON’T wanna PAY.  LOL  Let’s be real.

@beutifulsoul1540

I experienced this , and.then.due disappoint I stopped to post a quiet a month.  plus.immagining how I m going to reach  the required 10M views before it make sense.  😢

@lucyflavortales

I gained 20K views in 2 week from shorts, with min of 400 and max of 1900 views everyday. All of sudden I only got 1-2 views or not at all. Do you think YouTube shadowbanned me?
