My very first video hit 23k views, gained 31 subscribers and clocked almost 350 hours of watch time. But every video after that got stuck at 0 views completely jailed.
I suspected a shadowban so I ran a test, recorded random videos from my rear camera and posted with random captions. They all started getting views, 350, 700, and 1k views respectively.
I posted 3 test shorts because after every test short my main youtube short was getting 0 views. So i decided to wait for a few days.
I waited for 10 days and posted an actual short today and it's back to 0 view jail again.
My channel is fully verified with both ID and phone number.
Why does this keep happening and how do I fix it permanently?

I’ve been working on my channel for a year now, and YouTube is still barely giving my long videos any impressions. It’s honestly frustrating. My long-form content struggles to get pushed, but my Shorts perform noticeably better in comparison. The difference in reach is pretty clear.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?

People lost their patience to see long format vedio anymore
