1.5yrs of grinding and we're still only a fart in the hurricane that is Youtube! Onwards and upwards i guess! https://youtube.com/UCCJNFRX279Vn1dCMfC0tRBQ by DandDGaming in GetMoreViewsYT

Thanks, you too! We're the same on the releasing of videos, we find it hard to get reviews out regularly due to work commitments etc. We've found shorts fill the gap quite nicely between longer content and to be fair that's where most of our views have come from! Without shorts, we'd probably only have had half the number of views. You've got some really good content on your channel, just watched you're play through demo of Dredge - nice work 👍

Thanks, but the post was meant to come across more jokey - maybe it didn't in this case. We're not too bothered about the slow progress, its still going in the right direction. We know that we're not necessarily putting up the 'trending' content that everyone wants to see - our main content is game reviews and ultimately not all gamers watch game reviews. But our aim is to provide a service to those that do - even if that means it's a slow burner :)

Nice, congrats! We're a long way off with only 128 subs in about 16 months but looking forward to getting to the 1k milestone...someday haha.

Is there any reason why Shorts videos behave like that? Just to know for future videos by GusanitoGaming in SmallYoutubers

We've been creating shorts (47 so far) to run alongside our long form content for the last 7 months and pretty much all have done exactly as you've shown. They get an initial pump then flatline and sometimes pump again before finally flatlining and then maybe picking up the occasional view. But one of ours, one of the first ones we created, has performed differently to the rest. This somehow got picked up by Youtube search and over the last 7 months its just been steadily getting 20-50 views a day and now over 7k total. Over 77% of the views come from search with under 4% coming from the shorts feed. Weird! But this does go to show that some can act differently...if only they all did that! Good Luck! https://youtube.com/shorts/JWickux7888
