Weird thing is happening.

I got two channels both verified with mobile but both were empty. Created around 4 months ago but couldn't start because of some other problems.

Anyways,

Uploaded 1 video each day for 3 days in one channel. Then after 3 days, decided to check if my video is being found or not.

So, I took my video ID and searched via incognito and it was not found (learned from one of the threads in the forum).

Take this link for example:

I searched "EzFXDvC-EwM" without quotation and the video was not appearing. I checked the other 2 videos as well but not found in search.

Then I decided to check my other channel. I had videos made earlier so uploaded and decided to check instantly without waiting for days. Guess what, the video popped up in searched when I searched via video ID. I then uploaded the same 3 videos that I uploaded in the first channel and those videos popped up as well.

Is the first channel suppressed/shadowbanned that even after 3 days video is not being found? But in the other channel video is instantly found after uploading?
 
Perhaps it has been banned or restricted from being visible to a few users. i also had the same problem of not being able to find my video even though it was 3 months old and i was checking it regularly.

Read the post again.

Where are you getting few users? Both channels are new with no videos from before.

I could find the videos posted on the second channel using their video IDs but not the videos from the 1st channel.

But if you search for your channel, is it appearing?
Only the channel name? I went to incognito, searched the second channel name without quotes and the channel popped up.

But when I searched the first channel, it didn't. It only showed when I went to filters -> Type -> channel.
 
Try to find the video by full title with the filter "This week" or similar.
If I search using full title, it shows but not with the video ID.

Any idea why the video from other channel shows when searched via video ID but does not from the first channel?
 
Your video visibility might not be set on public and usually i think it takes time for video to show up in search results especially for new channels and if the keywords aren't well optimized.
 
Did you purchase the accounts? Maybe that's Youtube's way of spam control by limiting channels with no activity changing their IPs suddenly?!
