How to reduce the percentage of Indian viewers on YouTube videos

[Tuanlt.romaland]

I am currently running a YouTube channel targeted at audiences in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. However, current analytics show that Indian viewers account for nearly 30% of my audience.

Is there any way to fix this incorrect audience distribution? And what are the reasons causing this issue? Please help me answer these two questions. Thank you.

What country are you in, and what content subject do you have? Does it have ANY indian voices in it?

I am currently in Vietnam. My content is religious in nature and I write the script entirely in English, using a native American voiceover.

Please disable youtubes auto dubbing features. and try to use or upload from a clean browser which doesn't have any history in it.

I'll try your idea.

Indian viewers may find your videos through search or recommendations. Focus on topics, keywords, posting times, and thumbnails that better match viewers in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada.

Thank you for your advice. If I now change all the thumbnail images to better suit a European or American audience for my uploaded videos, will that negatively impact my channel?

You can’t directly influence the audience on YouTube, as it is determined by the algorithm based on viewing behavior. See how your initial views originate, what kind of keywords you use, the languages you speak, and the subjects of your videos. Gradually start generating more traffic from your targeted countries..

I don't think it will hurt your channel. If the new thumbnails improve click through rate with your target audience, they may even help. Just avoid changing everything at once and monitor the results.

Why do you specifically want to remove them? Even if they generate little revenue, isn't more than better than zero?

Since my channel is new, I'm afraid YouTube will distribute my content to the wrong audience.

You cant escape them if the topic is interesting for them because 1 in every 5.5 people (about 18%) on Earth is Indian lmao

There is not a better way to just remove the indian peoples watching your videos there is no settings for that but you can try to optimize the content and description to be more for the USA traffic so then youtube may present your videos to the right audience but don't think you can escape indians, pakistans or bangladeshi viewers )

Perhaps I should focus on content quality instead of worrying about this issue.

I agree with you.

People grind to increase engagement on Youtube and bro came here to remove his engagement XD.
I suggest not to think about user base, think about engagement.
Tips given by other people will help you shift your userbase.

If it's going to that audience, it's because the data suggests that audience wants to see it and not others. It is 100% data driven - you are fighting the result and not the cause.

YouTube algorithm pushes by user behavior, not channel IP/location. If your traffic is stuck in India and you want to pivot to Tier 1 countries (US/UK/CA/AU), start optimizing your signals: tweak the titles, keywords, thumbnails, and English style to match Western tastes. Plus, seed your links directly into US/UK communities to feed the algorithm clean initial data and force-push the recommendations to the right target.

don't worry it's normal. you can make video like US native language and use US related tags and upload your video at US morning time to get more US views
