The nice thing about Shorts is that when KZread finally does find your audience, whether it takes a day or a year, they often go back and re-suggest your older posts to your new found audience. So Never Give up on a short! Even the ones that plateau at a couple thousand views could get millions one day once KZread finds the right audience for your account. I saw this happen to all of my first shorts.

I don't think a channel should be flagged as spam "and for good reason" for reuploading a video with one view only to see it immediately get hundreds of views. I think that is somebody finding a solution to an obvious problem with KZread's algorithm. And yes, I mean algorithm this time, not audience. Also, if only one person saw it before, how could that be spam? Who is getting spammed? This isn't something I've done because I'm generally happy with my Shorts performance, and if they don't perform well, I always know it's because it just wasn't good enough. But it's not something I would be against at all if I actually cared a tremendous amount and was getting no views.

I don't think it's the audience, since there is no audience... is like, how is supposed the video is not of interest to people of the video is not being shown to them? I had videos with 1 or 2 views, and probably those were mine, and the video is stuck like that for days, so I rather deleted it and try again, thiking that maybe I picked the wrong time, but if I do that then according to what I saw in this video is spam??? So how I'm supposed to do it better? I did that formula in TikTok, same videos, deleted them and uploaded again in different hours, then I found the right time for me and I improved! Also it sucks that in YT you need to go to third websites to see in which time exactly you uploaded a video, while in TikTok is just there, along with the day and month, that is how I was able to see what time was best for me.

Once you stop believing in an imaginary algorithm and understand the problems originate from phone farms in Asia, it make a lot more sense.

This clears up a lot. I've only started doing shorts earlier this year. And I didn't really understand it. I saw that a lot of my shorts would get hundreds or a few thousands of views and then stop. But I considered that a success as a small channel. I had one short that blew up in popularity (relatively, for my channel) and is still get consistent views. Still, I get plenty of new subscibers from the shorts even if they suddenly drop off in views. A bunch of them unsub within a day or so, but it's still growing my channel nicely. I'll try timing them better and see if that works!

I think something that needs to be genuinely addressed by youtube is how people can go from getting consistent views with every upload to LITERALLY 0 views not like their views declined or anything like some people here are stating, no the fact that you can go from getting thousands of views per video to youtube not showing your video to literally anyone its really hard to tell what you're doing wrong when you don't even have analytics to look at, it's really discouraging to new creators such as myself

Suppose it just hit really will with seed audiences but underperformed with a brauder scope. Would love if you went in depth as to how to find & make content that can please your niche audience as well as those who dont engage as often in a future video! Good stuff :)

So the question after this is once the seed audience interest tapers down and the views fall to zero, what does it take to get the views back up? Also, with shorts back catalog, how does KZread know which videos to test with newer audience and what triggers that?

When KZread tests your shorts with a seed audience, the audience should be people who have watched similar videos. Surely, they have the data from viewers to set that up. If the initial seed audience for a short is simply a random selection of people then the likelihood of the short succeeding is obviously greatly reduced. KZread has tons of data on their viewers and content creators. It doesn't sound like it's being used in a beneficial way at all. So much for technology.

Let me add one thing, sorry for my bad English. The posting time, in my case, is not that important. What happened to me is that when one or two shorts started working (posting something that also attracted and responded to audience searches) the other shorts, already pubblished in my channel, had started working too, as if KZread had identified me as a quality creator of shorts and perhaps because shorts have been offered to the same public. So it is important to find coherence between the shorts, in content, style and a duration that is not too long (30 sec)

Bro, I hate to say this but your shorts aren't even good lmao

Uploading then deleting a video then uploading again can cause a shadow ban? Many times after I upload I see the video and notice a need for an edit or audio adjustment so I delete it, fix it, then re-upload it. I hope that isn't causing problems?

Only thing I would take issue with is the advice to “do what works for others/what’s trending and popular. Personally I’m sick of hearing the same trending music over and over and over and over and over again on Instagram. It starts to become all the same. I say, take the non-trend road and do YOU. In the end, it’s you and your uniqueness that people will stick around for, not trending music, templates, soundbites, etc.

Maybe a lot of shorts took a dive once people realized you can reupload a short if it didnt get views. So essentially there are twice as many shorts uploads that you get buried under. Also ive noticed that YT will push so.e of my older vids and shorts if i dont upload as often, like its trying to keep me going. I think when you publish too often u make youtube win but you do not. Maybe i would advise yall to not upload so often. Or randomly take a break and watch your older vids get pushed

Great vid, feels like I’ve watched all your videos and incorporating all ur advice but still struggling to get views and subs. Maybe I’m rushing this marathon 😐

As a new KZread shorts creator, this video really was an excellent watch and made a lot of sense, thanks for the information! Great video

I love your videos(This one especially) thank YOU I unlisted my shorts only been at this for a few weeks but its gotten me a little boost already :P

Is KZread all about luck? !!!!! It's truly a missed opportunity when your KZread shorts don't connect with the perfect seed audience.

Almost all of my shorts get a few hundred to thousands of views for the first hour. Then never again doesn’t matter how good my retention is, the like to dislike ratio, how many comments, or anything. I’ve had shorts with 200% retention and it still died at 1 hour

this exactly happened to me, i have been making plenty of shorts while trying to stick with algorithm, once that twitter drama happened i made a short then it suddenly crashed my channel ever since my channel has been growing only because of two video's and now it stopped again and i haven't gotten a single view in about 2 - 3 weeks

I've actually found a groove outside the times KZread has recommended for me to post. I'll try one of the two shorts I do daily to post during the time KZread Recommends and see what happens.

This is a great explanation. I just passed my one-year anniversary on KZread and have made almost 900 Shorts. Early on I did about as many per day as I could do. Now I'm doing two a day. I've seen the views die off on most of them as you describe. But every once and a while I get one that takes off. My most popular video received about 1 million views in the first 20 or so days. Then, BOOM, it really took off. I've studied the video and have tried to replicate it. Sometimes I come close but there is a uniqueness in it that grabs the viewer. My swipe away percentage is fairly low for it. For those just starting out, find something you like to do and do it often. It took me about 3 months to see much success. Then, 6 months in I had my Silver play button. KZread has been good to me but it has taken time and effort. Good luck to all!

Yes I will also not give up.

I have found that my urge is to post as soon as I make a video. But scheduling videos on the hours analytics show my viewers are viewing works better. It takes discipline.

I would love you guys to address fishing and outdoors channels !!! I’ve been hearing it’s a harder niche to build off of

Love the new glasses!! Thanks for explaining the seed audience and the phases.

My analytics are insane for shorts normally have around 90-110% watch time which I thought was pretty good so I never understood why it dropped

Being a newbie on KZread, I really enjoy creating shorts. And I absolutely agree with you timings play a crucial role here..

Interesting that posting KZread shorts once or twice a day can be a thing, but i also (personally) want to have some content ready in the long-form content in the long run so that when that does happens people are ready to see what's next for a while. Anyways, its intriguing how you mentioned it took almost a year to discover all this out. I was like five and a half months in just experimenting with new things and realized it does take time. Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing vidIQ!

I respect and appreciate your knowledge. I have made 12 multi-million view shorts in the past year. Now explain this: I make a short, gets 90% view vs scroll away statistic and 140% audience retention and the "algarithim" shelves it after 2K views? What does it/they want from a short if not 90% watching and average watch % more than 100%?

I think the biggest problem of shorts is that until you have a main audience it's a hit or miss with them as they just send out shorts to completely random people. If they do not like the first few seconds they are going to swipe away. So they have to be appealing to as wide as an audience essentially if you are looking to grow(which is also a problem, as wide appeal is boring). They are a great promotion tool though for finding some people that could be interested in your videos out of a random audience. Think of shorts as advert on tv.

@@RoboticMagus Thanks! Based on what a lot of other channels have tested: Either you are a complete shorts channel, that only does shorts as a product or you use them as sneak peak advertising for your channel to get people to maybe one day watch your long form product. What do I know tho, I am under 200 subscribers :'D

Few Months ago KZread made a update and after that My Channel views getting down . Before that update I usually get 5 to 10 million shorts views a day but now it's tough to get 1 million views in a day .I think My targeted audience are not getting my videos properly 😔

Same thing happened to me

I have recently been feeling quite confused and discouraged. All this time, my shorts haven't been getting many views. But recently, there was a rare occurrence where one of my older shorts suddenly experienced a massive surge in views. However, I'm not sure why, it's almost like a curse, as after that, my new shorts are only left with 7 views...

Explain how I had a short that was 5 weeks old with 2100 views then yt pushed it for another 3k views.

I had 4 straight months of 1-4K views and my channel grew steadily well (different channel) then all of a sudden, the same similar content, same schedule, and same ideas all just stopped getting views. I’m now averaging 30-50 views per video when that used to be my total after a few minutes. I truly don’t understand

Nice new glasses bro. Ok I thought I was imagining what was happening with the views. I would have a short do very little or some skyrocket and then sputter out. I’ll have to look at the ones that did well and figure out why; then try to replicate it.

so should i post 2 times a day at the time my audience is online? some of my shorts get 3k views bur the next day they get like 2-50 views. any advice?

And in regards to publishing times... the shorts algorithm has this weird thing where that surge sometimes comes within the first 15-30 minutes after posting OR after 6 hours.... again : completely random which of the two it is.... I have quite sone shorts I posted at the time my target audience is online, only to see it get pushed six hours later... (seen it happen with long form as well btw, same six hours!). However, six hours later there's practically no-one from my target audience online bc it's in the middle of the night! This has quite a few times destroyed my clickrate (long form) or viewed-swiped ratio (shorts) and it seems there's nothing you can do...?

I thought I'm the only one have that problem 💀🔥

This exact thing has happened to every single youtube video that I've ever posted. I thought all shorts eventually stopped getting views

What would be the best way to get the good thumbnail in since it waits about half of the short that most likely chooses the thumb for you? if youtube uses random succetion then would the title also help to get some views in? oh bty i noticed that when someone subs like around 2 or 3 people an hour later they do not even count. any suggestions on why ?

Great video ! Here's what I still don't understand, let me give you a case study : -> Short did well in the beggining, like you explain in your video, reaching 400k views in about 10 days -> Short currently stands at an overall 78% View Duration, flatline retention graph all the way through the end , 66.3% average view to swipe away ratio. So essentially this is a short with a strong hook at over 100% retention for the first 10 seconds, with close to 70% View to Swipe ratio and yet it hasn"t seen any views for the past month (about 50 views/day). That's what I don't understand. According to your points , this short would be a good candidate to throw a couple millions more views at it , until those retention and swipe away numbers go way down and KZread goes "Welp, guess I can't find any more new people to like this". Why is it stopping now with these great analytics ?

CAN YOU CHECK WHY MY LATEST SHORT ISINT GETTING VIEWS FROM SHORT FEEDS 😢😢😢

I was posting youtube shorts since february, but only recently out of thin air one of my shorts blew up to nearly 200k views and still growing

i noticed it always the shorts i don’t put much effort into that sky rockets in views/subs. i did a reaction video last year and made a shorts the next day, didnt think much of it until my phone starting going off that same night my shorts was at 20k and its now at 27k over a year later

i have been getting 0 views since i started… not being pushed out at all 😔

I believe this channel is just regurgitating information that is freely available by KZread themselves, but with an added twist of misinformation. Everyone who is playing the KZread game is in a battle against the algorithm..... if the algorithm gives you exposure, you will get views and subs.....

Couldn't agree more. But people seem too naive here to understand it. They don't really help anyone, they just say clichés and things that you could have figured out on your own. Everything else is pure misinformation about this platform. I believe that in a lot of videos they don't even know what they're talking about. They just want to exploit your disappointment to make money without telling you anything concrete

This happened to me, but on a full video. Another channel uploaded my best video, changed nothing about it, and KZread thought it was me creating another channel and trying to replicate the views. So they shadowbanned my whole channel, and my channel views dropped 95% in under a week. More than killed it. Obliterated it. KZread says it is all run by the algorithim, but we all know there is more going on behind the scenes, involving something changing hands... Great video as usual mate.

This happens no matter what for me. Less people swipe away and watch time is over 100%, so I think maybe this video will do better than normal, but that's not the case. Instead, it stops earlier than the other shorts.

As a new content creator this was very helpful. I use my You Tube page to direct clients to give them an idea on how I install tiles and ideas. I do want to expand it to make a profit as well. I am enjoying it, it makes me want to do better. I want to teach people how to do home renovations of all ages. Thank you for taking the time to better understand.

This must occur with long form videos as well and logically it makes sense. Any video, no matter what it is, will always be shared initially. It's worth it for youtube to take an initial risk on your video by pushing it. After all you could be a no name channel uploading something that millions of people would watch start to finish, so youtube will always initially share your video to see how it shakes out. However once it's clear your video sucks, then youtube stops sharing it and the only way you will get further views is if people manually seek the video out in search or otherwise. So the solution is to sweat and git good. If you aren't making youtube your full time job and pouring hundreds of hours into editors or if you aren't a super hot woman just give it up.

Happened to me on Facebook, I was going great, had 72k views in 2 days and then bam it stopped completely. Read they do this to get you going then to force you to setup ads to keep it going.

Please also explain why videos also stop getting views or why KZread suddenly stops recommending the video. I noticed that after two days the graph for the reach went flat

I'll tell you how it works for me. I post three shorts daily with an average of 8 seconds for each. I have a travel channel. I have about 8 shorts that were picked up by the algorithms. And they also appear in searches from February until now. I attract around 280 monthly new subscribers from shorts.

But my shorts is not boost every time

Question: What about when we IMMEDIATELY delete the video like within a few minutes, because we noticed there was some sort of error (example: text being partially out of frame)? I've had to deleted shorts immediately after uploading and then re-uploaded, but never because "it wasn't getting views". I just take the L in those cases. But I have deleted and re-uploaded a FIXED version of the short after noticing there was a problem after uploading

I often find that if this happens and you can't bounce back and your primarily a shorts channel just start over with a new one I've done that 3 times
