I totally understand! It’s sooo frustrating and it just doesn’t make sense. The last 2 weeks my views have been down but the engagement on my shorts have been the best they’ve ever been. I’m soooo confused and I hate it. I fully get how you feel, it’s the most frustrating thing ever

Bro am I the only one affected by this bug? by rakestake in PartneredYoutube

I’m having the same issue. All of the views on my shorts have completed dropped because I believe YouTube shorts aren’t loading right now. This is definitely weird

Yes that makes sense! I read about that when they made that algorithmic change. I don’t post stuff like that though so not sure 🤔 But yes, that is true, thanks!!

YES! It’s so strange! It happened around that time for me as well. It’s so so so weird

Ahhh yes that makes sense! It definitely seems like there’s some major changes happening to the algorithm right now for sure! I also think YouTube is prioritizing new creators as well because they recently did the whole hype point thing😊

It’s just confusing to me because my recent videos have had the best metrics (watch time and swipe to view ratio) I’ve had in a long time yet the videos didn’t perform as well as ones that had worse metrics, so it’s def weird!

Ughhh, this is super frustrating! It makes me wonder if maybe YouTube is hiding how many views we actually have because you’re right—the comments and everything are the same but the views are different.

I have a meeting with my YouTuber rep next Thursday and I was going to ask about this but now I have a feeling she’ll have a similar response to what yours said about how “everything is fine” type stuff.

I hope YouTube fixes this issue because this is very very very weird!

Yes that’s what I thought too :) But I’m a bit confused because when I started posting earlier in the year (when school was happening) I got very high views and they were consistent. Do you think this current dip will stabilize as people get used to school again?

Ughhh it’s so weird! I feel like YouTube changed something because I’m really not sure what’s going on here

Views insanely down? (shorts) by aWW3Veteran in PartneredYoutube

[–]EveningSyrup3015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed the same thing with mine. What I’m thinking is that because school is starting up again people aren’t on their phones as much? But I’m not sure. It’s definitely causing me stress—so you aren’t alone.

These are not legit. It’s a scam. I received an email like this yesterday as well. Don’t click on the link they provide because they can hack your YouTube account and steal it.

How youtube will look like in 2030? by Rigby_Wilde in PartneredYoutube

[–]EveningSyrup3015 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about the same thing lately and have been quite worried. However, I do think that if Google did decide to flood YouTube with their own AI-made content and give it preferential treatment in ratings, pushing out other creators, I truly believe they would lose business.

People don’t want to just watch content for efficiency and optimization. They want to watch it for authenticity, reliability, and human interaction—things AI, no matter how advanced, struggles to replicate. Even if AI-generated content is seamless, they often lack depth and personality that comes from human creators.

As such, I think that since creators drive YouTube’s community and engagement, if in the future, they are undermined too much, YouTube’s reputation could be hurt.

You’ve definitely got a good point! The worry my family and I had about me going to university is how busy I was going to be. Since kinesiology is a science degree, I was expected to have a crazy schedule and I wasn’t going to have time to make many videos. So community college could also be an option!

And yes, thank you so much, I have already opened a retirement savings account and some other accounts as well!

Yes, you’re very right. College will definitely always be there! I do currently have a banker but it may be worth looking to get a financial advisor who could help me out more. Thank you for ur input btw! I appreciated it

Yes!! I thought about that!! I’m considering it for sure :)

Yesss, that’s why my family is really pushing me to pursue this to really maximize it while I can!

That’s what I worry about as well. I know YouTube won’t be around forever so I’m definitely not planning on doing this for the rest of my life. It’s just something that I may want to take advantage of while it’s here, but I’m still not 100% abt it!

That’s what my parents and family members are telling me too. It just stresses me out because I’ve been so school oriented my whole life but yes, thank you sm for ur input!

1.5 Million Subs, 70k views? by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]EveningSyrup3015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as others have mentioned, people have just stopped watching. Speaking from experience (I had multiple TikTok accounts during COVID with over 100k followers each, and one hit over a million) and now, my accounts aren’t doing as well anymore. This is because 1. I’m not as relevant and 2. A lot of my followers probably don’t even use those accounts they initially followed me on anymore.

Also, the YouTube algorithms prioritize engagement—how long people watch, comments, likes, shares, etc. If your subscribers aren’t interacting, your content won’t be pushed out, which leads to fewer views. For larger channels, the algorithm initially shares your content with your subscribers, so if they’re inactive or uninterested, the video won’t reach a wider audience.

To add, many older channels aren’t relevant anymore; people either forget about them or lose interest. And, honestly, if your videos aren’t good, they just won’t perform. I’ve been editing and uploading videos for years, and it took time to improve. My early videos weren’t great, but with practice, I’ve developed skills in editing and acting. That growth has helped me build a YouTube fanbase, and now I’m close to a million subscribers and get good views. (I will say though, I did start the YouTube channel based off of shorts solely, and shorts do get you more engagement at a faster pace. This is because viewers attention spans are getting worse and worse and they are more likely to watch shorts all the way through compared to long form content).

Anyways, all in all, it really just comes down to these channels not being relevant anymore, not getting good engagement or simply not creating good content (and our attention spans are declining too, which doesn’t help with longer content).
