Hi guys do you know any way to check if the youtube channel is shadowbanned?
I have pubbilshed 3 long videos,i am confident they are pretty good videos,i also paid a video editor for them
i didn t expect to get 1000's of views with my first 3 videos,but i got 0
not even 1,i had to pay youtube promotion/ads to get some
it s pretty discouraging because i really want to make this youtube channel works,is my own project that i really want to work but it s crazy that the videos get not even 1 views
with shorts i get about 3oo views and sometimes some video get 1000's,but with long videos is like all my work means 0
do you have any help or suggestions to understand what is going on?

I think you can be shadowbanned in youtube comments, but rather not youtube videos. I had 1000s of low quality channels, all of them had same views, no matter how little proxies I used or how many times I used a new, old device. Whatever I did, it was the same result.

You can try to target low and medium competition keywords on youtube search. Or make some super high quality videos. Both options work.

Are you uploading someone's video? share some more information about the content in the video
some time there are elements that triggers the ban some words, sound effects, visuals

It’s honestly baffling and frustrating when your long-form videos get zero traction, especially after putting in so much work, so it might be worth checking your channel analytics, SEO, and visibility settings to rule out any issues like shadowbanning or discoverability problems.

you need to upload minimum 10-15 videos to come to the conclusion that the channel is shadow banned, 3 videos don't do any justice to understanding whether a channel is shadow banned or not.. Also check if your niche is having targeted viewers, or is it generally a widely popular niche...create trending topics with click-bait titles and thumbnails as well. If all the things we have mentioned are met, then still do not worry, some channels have bad luck and all you need to do is delete these videos from this channel and upload it to a new channel, make sure to isolate the new channel.

Goodluck.

Happen the same to me. I have 30 videos and I barely get views. All my videos were created by me (I didn't copy other people's videos).

Someone could help us please. It’s very frustrating this situation after months of hard work.

I feel you man, YouTube is brutal to new channels. If you're getting literally zero views, the algo's probably not even testing your content. Quick checks:
1)Search video title in incognito (if it's missing, bad sign)
2)Analytics showing <50 impressions? You're being ignored
YouTube needs to see engagement first before it promotes you. That's where SMM services help - just 2000-5000 organic views, some comments, likes and subs can trick the system into testing your content with audience.

How people are supposed to find out about your videos? Are you ranking for any keywords? Or do you expect algorithm push to browser features? Whatever you do, make more channels and make more videos. Think about lower quality videos. It's more about reach than quality, isn't it. YouTube isn't hollywood and their staff explicitly claims they want you to upload more videos.

30 videos is nothing. I wouldn't expect a channel to grow before few hundred videos.

Think about repurposing your content. For example, if you have a 10 minute long video, try to split it into 20 videos. Use shorts, long form, mix formats, add background music and just upload as many videos as you can.

Im ranking using few keywords but it looks that doesn’t work even with low competition keywords. I don't know what to do now..

Should I invest a lot in Youtube ads?
Can you give me some recommendations please or other ways to invest?.

It is normal for a new channel. Keep uploading more videos, you will get good views in future.

lets see... youtube its getting harder to rank .. Im getting crazyyyyy.

my head is boiling with nerves!!

Zero organic views usually mean a visibility or algorithm issue, not a shadowban. Check privacy settings, titles, tags, and descriptions. Focus on consistent posting and engagement to gradually build reach.

Follow YouTube’s rules, avoid misleading titles or tags, and post consistently. Check analytics for drops in impressions to spot visibility issues.

THIS is what iam saying. YOUTUBE IS the don godfather of video streaming security. Sometimes that godfather thinks hes friends are out to get him and goes mad. And when that happens boom, Well actually bang. But yeah. In this case you got hit with a semi automatic pistol.

When should I buy views? Someone told me before that I should buy 300 views when I first upload a video, but leave it private. After 300 views, I will make it public. I don't know if that's still true or not?

Is the channel brand new?

Don’t think you’re shadowbanned, if that was the case, even ads wouldn’t get traction. The bigger issue is that long-form videos on new channels rarely get impressions at first. Shorts get pushed way more because YouTube is actively promoting them.
What you can do is check in YouTube Studio → Analytics → Reach, and see if your videos are actually getting impressions.
If the impressions are “0,” then it’s likely a discoverability problem, not a ban. Titles, thumbnails, and CTR play a big role there. It’s frustrating, but most channels need dozens of uploads before long-form starts moving.

I was thinking to do so but this channel has 200 subs and i uploaded 30 shorts in my niche,so i don t want to lose it and try wiht a new one...

can t i do that with paid youtube ads instead of SMM services?I don t really like them

no old channel

Doesn’t sound like a shadowban tbh, if you were shadowbanned your shorts wouldn’t be pulling views either. Long-form just has a way tougher time getting pushed out compared to shorts, especially on a brand new channel with no subs or watch history for YouTube to work with. Couple things that help: check if your vids are actually indexed (search the exact title in YouTube search), make sure they’re set to “public” (sounds obvious but it happens), and keep posting shorts to feed the algo — those views eventually spill into your longs. I know it’s discouraging at first, but almost everyone sees the same: shorts pop, longs flop, until you build some traction. Stick with it and focus on CTR + retention — once a video hits the right audience, YouTube starts testing it harder.

thanks,how would you focus on retention+CTR?What would you mainly focus?

i checked,i have about 50-70 impressions on videos,so i am not shadowbanned...
shorts doesn t perform too bad though
i guess i can only keep going and see what happens

some people are suggesting him to buy smm bots views, which will actually destroy his journey.

Getting zero views on long videos usually means they aren’t being pushed by YouTube’s algorithm, so the issue is likely in SEO setup, watch history signals, or weak audience targeting.
