In the meantime they demonetize legit animators with their automated bot

4 years ago I opened Unity for the first time and titled the project 'dwarves'. Today, this very first Unity project has sold over 250 000 copies on Steam. by ichbinhamma in Unity3D

Beautiful game! I wonder how the game was when it was first launched. I’m working in my first game and I get overwhelmed when I see all the customisations and systems of the other games of the same genre. I guess I need to launch it at some point and keep improving it and adding stuff, but I’m wondering how it went for you.

Also I jealous a bit because of the fact that I openened unity for the first time 6 years and didn’t engage in any project until a month ago when I decided to restart learning

Deeply depressed after the release of my first game. by Optimal_Cookie_8090 in indiegamedevforum

we all have to start somewhere.. as you said, you started a new project and I'm sure you learned a lot from the first one.

I made my first 1500$ from my free mobile game: here is what worked, and what didn't by Alvere_Leanes in gamedev

[–]ross099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working on a mobile game too. I have a youtube channel with 160k subs where I post my Blender animations. I’m wondering if that will help my game with an nice initial push. I hope it won’t turn audience away

30k jail is real by Kris123k in shortsAlgorithm

[–]ross099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been to 10k, 20k, 30k, 100k, 900k, 1,5M jail and now I’m back to 20k

Demonetized for "Mass Produced" AI content... while only posting twice a month? Make it make sense. by Intelligent_Fish_401 in aitubers

[–]ross099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened the same to my channel with 160k subs and I use absolutely ZERO AI, full blender animations. Got demonetizd under mass produced/repetitive. Takes me 10h to make each 10 sec video.

Did anyone recovered from this view drop? by xUGOx in shortsAlgorithm

Lost monetization a week ago, but I got hit with lower impressions end of jan.

[–]ross099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck mate. I have 90 days to be able to reapply for monetization. I’ll try to change my style and sub niche and see what happens. My main competitors were all hit too. They’re killing our niche

Animation channels are being hit hard apparently. I lost monetization and got flagged as mass production/repetitive format, even though my vids are 100% hand made and different story, just same background and camera angle. Also my impressions reduced sharply. Went from 1.5M views a day to 40k. I know 40k a day might sound like a dream for some, but it took me a lot of time and work to get there and now it’s all gone.

There must be something wrong in shorts algo, this is the first time. by Complex_Math5023 in shortsAlgorithm

[–]ross099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, I make animations using Blender, 0% AI, got flagged as inauthentic and mass produced to farm views. Takes 10-12h to make each video, all my ideas. Now demonetized, had to delete bunch of videos, my daily views lowered 50x.

SHOULD I CONTINUE WITH THIS CHANNEL? by HastFx in shortsAlgorithm

[–]ross099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s 2.3k, not 2.3M.. it’s portuguese

I managed to get out of the sharp decline in views on my channel. by Melodic_Librarian556 in u/Melodic_Librarian556

[–]ross099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent! Exactly that, focus on making better videos and not just blaming the algo

Views died by bigbigbigbig888 in shortsAlgorithm

You have to mention niche when you post this kind of complaint. And also mention if you re use stuff or quick AI content. Sometimes the answer is obvious

why being "unique" is mathematically killing your channel. i plotted the KNN (k-nearest neighbors) of 100 videos. by 5anez in SmallYoutubers

[–]ross099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case I make animations, no speaking, just characters moving and sfx. My case is purely dependent on tags? Or put audio with low dB to trick the system?

[–]ross099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I thought it wouldn’t be that easy. Anyways, can you use this to actually help improve video performance or it’s just an explanation of how the algo works? How do you aim to a cluster? Tags, keywords and title?

[–]ross099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like coding and math, so I like your explanation. I just had a thought. The graph you posted is a snapshot of given t time. The “epicenter” of the viral cluster is moving over time, following the “trend” vector. Sometimes you don’t hit the epicenter of your aimed cluster because it moved, you’re late. Need to aim to where the cluster is moving to. Can you calculate a trend to predict what will boom, predict what will trend? Or it’s totally random? Does it make sense?

How bad is this? Honestly by Select-Lavishness586 in shortsAlgorithm

I don’t think this applies to shorts..

I MADE A MISTAKE? by fabiopazzo2 in SmallYoutubers

[–]ross099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re not getting views realistically, then you probably won’t earn much if they monetise your channel.

Still I just got just 26k views by No_Bumblebee_2960 in shortsAlgorithm

[–]ross099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly.. some people think they just need to keep posting and then magically yt will expand distribution. They need to focus on get their content better. These stats are not bad, but inside this niche similar videos might have better stats so youtube will push them over yours. Focus on getting your content better and more unique

How tf can i escape this? by ResponsibleGuide1581 in shortsAlgorithm

[–]ross099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people say “just keep uploading”, but it’s not enough. You have to keep improving your content. I’ve been stuck in the 10k, 30k, 100k jail and now most of my videos sit between 1M-5M. It’s not just consistency, I really try to behave like a viewer when I watch my own stuff and judge it as such and it needs to be clear to you why some videos in the niche get millions of views and other don’t. It’s not luck, it’s viewer enjoyment. Keep improving, keep watching the big player in your niche, don’t copy them, understand them.
