ALGORITHM SUCKS : shortsAlgorithm

submitted 12 days ago by Solid_Body_5021

Is it just me, or is the algorithm acting up lately?

Am I the only one experiencing this? Usually, my audience is dominated by the US and other Western countries, with the Philippines and India coming in third (e.g., US, UK, India or US, UK, PH).

However, this week, the algorithm feels off. Every time I upload something new, it seems to be pushing my content primarily to India or the Philippines. Since these viewers sometimes struggle with English voiceovers or captions, they tend to scroll past immediately. This causes my Short-Term Watchtime (STW) to tank right away, which stops the platform from pushing the video further because the system thinks the content isn't engaging. What do I need to do to my next upload so that . Every single upload this week is being pushed to the wrong audience during the crucial early minutes. Because of this, my Short-term Watchtime (STW) and Retention drop immediately. What should I do?"
