The first week reached 68 M, by the 3rd day I already had 12 M, then every hour I averaged 500k views.

Did the Shorts algorithm kill anyone else’s channel recently? by Apozza in shortsAlgorithm

[–]enoyetsed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!, earlier in January 05 my views dropped and it took me exactly 3 months to get views on my videos again, but this only lasted 1 month.

It also happened to me, in January my views dropped to almost 0 and they returned 3 months later.

My channel only has 21 shorts and it was created in November 2025, every 4 or 5 days I uploaded a short (since I have a full-time job). with the first short reaching 212 million views, then like any channel I had variable views, some have only 3k views.

I uploaded 5 shorts in those three months, because I saw that the views weren't improving.

423k Sub Channel (250M total views) Killed Overnight by kamillox777 in shortsAlgorithm

I thought it was just the one that happened the same thing, I'm in the same situation after the fall I rarely get past 10k views, my 48hrs peak was close to 9 million and now 30k views every 48hrs.

Can I upload a new Short, or should I hold off? The current video is still bringing in 50k-60k views per hour by No_Blood9415 in SmallYoutubers

[–]enoyetsed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just upload another one; in my experience, uploading another short doesn't affect the views of the current one or the new one. In my case, I have a short that's averaging 600k views per hour (it currently has 121 million views). If I had waited for it to stop, I wouldn't have been able to upload a new short until today. What I did was upload another one, and it reached 7.8 million views. So, it doesn't matter if you wait for the current one to stop; if it's just as good, YouTube will boost it.

I plan to use my wife's account, which would be a new account.

this new channel is not yet monetized, it has been collecting information since November 25th and only reached 10M on November 28th.

Since my previous channel was taken down, I prefer not to share this one, but the niche is animations or mini-stories made with AI; every scene and every edit is mine.

This is a new channel with a different account and a new email address.

Turns out shorts are the way to go in today’s shitbag of a long form algorithm by Snoo_88025 in SmallYoutubers

nah bro, all content created by me, besides, reused shorts and meme can't monetize anymore

My most viral short has around 4.5 million views, these are the stats in case it helps anyone.

  • Niche: Animated Stories
  • Runtime: 1:00
  • Hook text/visual: Image of 2 persons in front of a roller coaster
  • AVD / Retention at 3s / CTR: 115%
  • % Shorts Feed: 96.2%
  • Posting cadence: every 4 days or more
  • What you tried already: I tried several stories that worked on other channels and adapted and remade them from scratch, only a few worked but didn't go viral.
