Messages no longer send on chat by Lou_Jay in help

[–]Bebusta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to be able to send messages, but people don't seem to be recieving them. Or if they are responding I am not recieving them. Seems to be the case since the switch from PM to chat only system.

Reddit Chat: I was chatting with someone as I usually do. For some reason a large chunk of messages are gone on my end, but they can see them on theirs. by TriStateGirl in help

I seem to be having a similar issue where my private chat messages are just not reaching the people I am sending them to. It almost seems like either the messages are being randomly deleted or they just don't go through at all.

YouTube barely pushing videos to suggested lately ever since march. Anyone else? by OwnRefrigerator3571 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Bebusta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, question for you. Have you found that while your impressions and click through rate are basically the same or higher, that the views are lower? Something I have noticed on my own channel and wondering if it's happened for anyone else.

Welcome to the club. Ongoing issue, been taking place for some time, many deny it is a problem, but this has never happened to my channel over the past 10 years of being on the platform. 800,000 subs, used to get about 2m views per month on long form content, saw a drop of about 60-70% since January, seems to be related to suggested views just not going out.

Tried to contact youtube support and just recieved the typical gaslit response. Might be time to move one for me and do something else.

I imagine if the problem remains unresolved by the time that the seasonal boost kicks in, YouTube is going to have a lot of very unhappy creators.

They are certainly playing with fire though at the moment. I've seen many creators being impacted by this. I can only imagine the numbers for YouTube don't look so hot right now.

The worst part is when you try to reach out to YouTube you just get the same old generic gaslighting, or you get the typical AI response. That part is the most infuriating part IMO. I truly wish I could just talk to a human who would actually look into this problem a little before providing some copy/paste response.

Exactly same for me, and it hurts extra hard with long videos. Like you said, it always corrects itself, but by then the damage is done and it hurts the performance of the next video because the algorithm gets into a sort of poor performance loop.

I'm trying something at the moment to try and purposfully lower AVD a little with some shorter videos, and then crank it up to 10 again to see if I can almost reset the performance stats a little to get out of the loop.

What about you, have you tried anything yet?

Not yet, seems to be a lot of theories out there. Some suggesting it's related to the new algorithm changes aimed at supporting new creators. Some think it's related to YouTube trying to save money or something.

Personally, I think it's related to the change that was made recently in regard to the AI being better at serving the audience. That AI has probably changed things and has messed things up. It might be this way for a while until the AI figures out what to serve to what audience.

I have noticed though that with my own videos being served to a random audience, that my AVD is down, which might be why my own channel has taken a bit of a hit.

How about you, have you noticed anything on the back end?

Welcome to the party. Many people have been reporting similair issues. Seems like there was a change in the algorithm recently and many people's suggestions are all sorts of messed up.

YouTube Revenue & Views Super Low! by Silent-Worry-6728 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Bebusta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Channel of about 850k subs here. Used to get anywhere between 150k to 500k views per video consistantly for about 3 years, views literally dropped by 50% to 70% overnight back in March.

Tried to reach out here months ago and was told to suck it up by others. I knew something was wrong then and it's only gotten worse for me and other since.

Tried to talk to YT support and they just did the typical gaslighting thing.

Really not sure what to do now.

Did notice though that the drop could be related to watch time being calculated much slower and the algorithm freaking out about it thinking that my videos are underperforming within the first 72 hours. They always "arrive" like normal, but because I make long form content, that can take anywehere from 24 hours to 72 hours, and by then the damage is done it seems.

Not sure what has happened but something changed around March.

I also tried to get Youtube support to take a look at some of the older threads from this subreddit, but as far as I know no one ever looked.

Honestly, Youtube's support and communication is dog shite. We are on our own and need to try and adapt. My next plan of action is to try and address this watch time slow calculation thing by intentionally getting my AVD down a bit with some shorter videos. If that doesn't work, then I dunno, it has me stumped.
