YouTube Shadow ban

wapking · Mar 13, 2022

HI, YouTube shadow banned one of my channel, Was getting 6m views a day on the channel and suddenly views started to drop drastically for a week. Literally getting like 10k views per day on the channel now.

although the moment i discovered my views was dropping to nothing I immediately started another channel, but unfortunately this one too was getting a decent amount of views for a month and suddenly views dropped to nothing again.

Have anyone experience this before? What's the solution? does this mean YouTube have shadow banned my device entirely?

they restricted some countries. If your country is not on the list, file an appeal

if you are from Russia or Belarus - YouTube has introduced restrictions + removed monitization in these countries. If you have not touched this, file an appeal for the removal of the shadow

i don't understand very much the algo for shorts, but for normal videos.. Youtube penalize reuploads when they catch it.
for example i uploaded a clip from Jimmy Kimmel show and the video did well, but when they uploaded the video.. mine got almost no views and theirs exploded.

Nah, this is different. Shadow ban is not the same as re-uploaded content with 0 views

No, YouTube did not shadow ban your device. I think your channel can still recover. Star by buying high retention views to boost engagement. Test with one video at a time and experiment with different views packages.

Thank you, but I don't buy views.. i grow account organically, and your idea won't work..

This is exactly the problem, your content is the problem.

My thoughts too at first but figured out that was not the case as the shadow ban have lasted for more than 4 months now, which is unusual for a community guidelines warning strike

Content was not the problem but CPA links. YouTube started to cut off my reach the moment i started to use CPA links in description and comments.

Then remove the CPA links and check if your channel recovers

Are shorts a risky business?

You got the answer by yourself, remove CPA, are you sure 100% that also the second channel dropped after you added CPA?

"Done that didn't recover thats why I came for answers? Already growing new accounts tho"

Once you get a drop like this it's not easy to recover fast, give to your channel sometime. It could be also that YT started to shut down your niche, test with this new channel without adding CPA and you will have the answer...

Its not a shadow ban the channel may be caught by Yt system as spam channel

Try with different links, you might have used the same link many times in many videos

Even if you change the links channel recovery takes lot of time

Whoa, you already answered yourself!
While you are growing a new channel try to avoid CPA Links or do some experimentals and you will discover the secret sauce !
