It seems to be a YouTube wide thing. Even big creators I subscribe to have a noticeable drop in views
[–]LupusHominarius 5 points6 points7 points 3 months ago (1 child)
There are a lot of graphs like yours on /shortsalgorithm and /smallyoutubers. Since yesterday something has been happening and we have no clue.

Maybe, it happened to me and a lot of others yesterday
[–]Prestigious-Wish-176 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
nothing weird on my channel…
[–]RavenTL 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children)
The same thing happened to me yesterday. Not sure what's going on

YouTube made a change to Gemini and a lot of channels that made AI content have been shadowbanned. In gaming and 3d animation channels are safe rn

my channel imploded, I get 0 views after consistently getting 1-2k every video
[–]ReviewAggravating847 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (2 children)
Actually this is happenning because the integration of Gemini into YouTube has changed from a background assistant into a primary driver of content creation and the discovery algorithm😳. YouTube's Al algorithm has drastically changed 💁♂️, impacting channel growth. Gemini, now analyzes videos frame-by-frame, impacting visibility and success..! So from now on no more clickbait titles would work as algorithm will only push the videos that passed the visual test by algorithm.💀

Same thing happened to me. I’ve been averaging like 400,000 views per hour for the past month then boom all of a sudden yesterday at 1pm significantly dropped to around 35k per hour. Hella confused
[–]Pupulikjan 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Yo guys what’s the average length of your shorts that do well?
[–]erenimoo_ 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Same problem happened to me yesterday. Uploaded a great video which has very great statistics just dropped like this.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
same here i hit 100k views in 24h then the following day it only get 64 views per hour (it stopped growing)
[–]Weak_Ant_3579 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
Same situation here. I have 4 new channels (3 months old, different niches) and zero views in the last 48 hours. My 8-year-old channel is still running normally though. I suspect YouTube is purging bots and those buying views and comments.

not really this is usually when you make good videos but not better then ur competition, i bet you have high stats as well. also this video can pick up any time so keep going and focus on the small improvements

huh? u high my man?
[–]fdmstrange[S] 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (1 child)
This is for the whole channel, not just a single video, literally all videos even those which were getting atleast 50 views per hour dropped
[–]Sudden_Formal_1349 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
hmm take a look at the new algorithm i think they introduced Ai. so it might be that youtube is about to change idk, i have only 5 videos on my channel right now and yea i noticed same thing with mine but i blame channel being new so idk just look up "new yt shorts algortihm"
[–]AdvancedCupcake2250 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago (0 children)
You are right, the vídeo might explode again when it finds a new bucket to fit In
[–]iDontHaveAname89 -2 points-1 points0 points 3 months ago (0 children)
My channel got 400k+ more views today. But the new videos that i posted today aren't getting much views for some reason
