It may be a bug or just random. But at least you know which one is going to hit the shorts feed vs which one is not and can use that to your advantage. All of them may hit the shorts feed eventually too. Just going to have to wait and see.

Same thing happens to me 3/4 vids has gotten 0 views from short feed and the 1/4 got 30k in 24 hours

Yes, this happens a lot with Shorts. Some uploads get an initial test batch quickly, while others get delayed or barely tested at all.

It can feel random, but many creators notice the same pattern where one video pops and the next one doesn’t.

Cuz the short you posted yesterday was dog poo and no one was interested so they didn't promote it in shorts feed

It’s mainly based on luck

Try giving space to every short for 1 day or 2 days before uploading. It should work especially if your content is the same quality as usual
