I did some shorts experiments, maybe I can help with some answers, ask the question(s) :)

How many shorts fo you think i should be posting every day to get good results?
And do you recommend me to use an old channel, it won't be any difference from a new one?
If i post too many shorts is there a possibility that i might get blacklisted?
And thank you so much!

10 to 20
No difference
Yes shadow-banned but you can override it

How do you override it?
I also made an experiment today, i posted 10 shorts in one channel that i am opening with a Dutch proxy, and posted another 10 with another channel that opened in a us proxy.
In the first channel, i got no views, and in the second one i got about 30 views.
What do you think about that, i know that 30 views is so low but it was weird that the first channel got 0 views!
Do you think that it's about the quality of shorts that i posted, or US channels get more exposure?
Knowing that all the videos in both channels were in the same niche, but they were presented in a different way!

The "good results" are related more on the niche you choose, not on the number of shorts you upload daily.
Ideally you would want to use an old verified channel, but I did see results - 80K views in 7 days, 20K views on a video, etc with fresh channels too.
I tested uploading using YouTube Studio - 10 shorts/batch and also 100 shorts/batch using Premiere Pro trick and I still think it's more related to the niche you choose if you want to see good results.
I recommend you upload 10 shorts/day and do that constantly to remove the limits and be able to upload more and maybe split like 50 shorts in the morning and 50 in the evening.

Value wise, the subs from shorts have a lower quality than the ones from normal channels (imo) and the best approach would be to grow the channels with subs and do one of the following:
1. sell the channel
2. if you grow to 100k, try adding normal videos in the same niche and see how it performs, that can be a start for a monetizable channel

The niche does play role in how your videos perform also your targeting (hashtags). The location of your YouTube channel has nothing to do with it.
Shorts algo in unpredictable. you can get 0 views on all your uploads and you can get good amount of views on the next uploads. It's just hit or miss.

Also, you need to make the videos unique, not just re-upload them directly from tiktok to youtube. This trigger the algo and tag your videos as spam/repetitive content which lead to 0 exposure.

What are some good ways to make them unique? Is changing the music to copyright free enough or should there be filters added to the video too?

Actually, i've been posting videos from TikTok just like you said, this might be the problem why i got no views, but i was making some changes to the videos, i guess it's not enough.
One other question please, is it necessary to enter normal tags for shorts?
And thank you so much!

You can add the retouch with a montage software manually Or using Handbrake.
if you have some coding skills you can automate the process with FFmpeg for bulk edit.

So, i can understand that just changing music and changing something is TikTok videos will work? Because that's exactly what i have been doing.

Yes, currently using FFMPEG for bulk editing. I have about 4-5 short accounts but none of them are getting much views, seems like most of them are stuck. Right now I'm just changing background music, but maybe I'll try making them more unique.

Yes, you should absolutely try to make some other changes to the videos, and like i understood from the guys, you should experiment with a lot of niches, some of them might work well for you, others won't.
How can you automate videos, i have a background in programming, but i am not a python programmer, is there any youtube video that you think might help me do that?

If you use targeted hashtags you expect your videos to show-up to audience in your targeted niche but the reach will be low. If you use general hashtags videos are expected to reach vague audience with higher exposure. Pick your pill.

You need to play with all settings (color filter, music & text layer, rotation, mirroring, cropping format change, audio tweaking,...etc) rinse and repeat till you find the sweet spot.

Could be the niche. But Try to reupload the viral videos with optimized tags and make sure every video is unique from the metadata to filters, crop, color balance...etc.

I know this niche works, I've already had small success in it but I can't get any of these videos off the ground. You don't need python, all you need is FFMPEG to do everything.

Check this video out to install FFMPEG:
Here are some command lines to help you out: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/useful-ffmpeg-command-lines-for-youtube.972089/

Whenever you want to do something in FFMPEG just go to google and search for the command, you'll usually find the answer.

How many tags should I aim for? The channels in my niche are spamming over 100 tags in the description and seems to be working well for them. Also thank you for this advice, it's been kind of frustrating that none of my videos can't even get 100 views.

Yes, actually, i am having the same problem as you, i manually made and uploaded 25 videos in total yesterday, and i got like a total of 200 views lol.

Right now I'm testing multiple devices and different 4G proxies because I thought that maybe my IP is blacklisted.

Definitely try to learn a little bit of FFMPEG. It takes 10 seconds to make loads of unique videos without manually editing anything unless you're making your own content.
