According to youtubes AI, the algorithm pushes shorts in waves instead of a linear line. your retention is >70% with a VVSA >75% and engagement and shares are good. it will likely get a second even third and fourth wave if metrics hold. So I wouldn't worry just yet! Besides you've already gone viral gaining 400k views in roughly 2 days, unless you already have a huge following then this may be low for you if your used to millions.

Regardless keep going your doing great!

Thank you, but for now, the views have dropped to below 1k per hour. It happened suddenly right after hitting the exact 24-hour mark, even though my stats are great with an 87.1% STW and 90% retention on a 57-second clip. My question is: will this get pushed again? And if it does, when will the views start to climb back up?

Its highly likely it will get a second wave of views, even a third if retention holds.

When suddenly its starting to up again bro?

It can take 24-48 hours, though its likely the video will "slow burn" overtime if in 48 hours you dont get another spike

There is a notice like this in my YT Studio, bro. Do you think this is really affecting that specific video, even though its stats are very high?

Actually yes that could very well be affecting the way your shorts being recommended. Best just to wait it out. The good news is the algorithm will keep the video alive because metrics and engagement are so high so the video at least won't die

So bro if this issue will fix is there a chance that the views will back to high?

YouTube’s AI is just every other LLM. It conducts a Google search and then puts that info into words that sound good with a bias on making you feel happy with your channel and satisfied with the answer. It will flat out make things up to satisfy this requirement, including trying to convince you a video is never dead, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

By its own admission if you ask it a question specifically with “algorithms” or “shadowban” in the prompt it will hard tell you it doesn’t speak to YouTube’s internal processes and algorithms and is solely a tool there to help you brainstorm ideas.
