For the last few days everyone were in confusion if the days of spamming shorts are gone or is just flaw in the Algo.

Everything now is clear. YouTube rolled out an update to recommend longer-form videos to subs came from YouTube shorts.

Confirmed by Youtube Product Manager who tweeted abt it yesterday.

This update might have closed the door for some but opened the door for more opportunities. With the bridge between Shorts and Longer form videos, combining both high reach and high growth potential from shorts now people who put time and money in growing channels will have their fair chance in growing and reaching larger base of audience.

When you do get good results simultaneously then call me wrong. if one video out of dozens got views while rest 1-2 it's exactly what i said up. You might get away with the first uploads but next it's all 1 or 0 views which means you're shadowbanned.

My update regrading the new Shorts update:

Here's what i've found from my tests for the last weeks.

it seems like YouTube have implemented a checkpoint (if you have been in YouTube long enough you must have known the 301 freezing). Most by this moment have noticed that the videos always get that 1 view. Well, this 1 view is from YouTube crawlers/bots which check the video before send it to large audience. To solidify my theory, i uploaded dozens of videos and all got 1 view but the views didn't appear in the analytics but when i watch one of the videos on my phone or browser the view appears on the analytics dashboard. Which makes us 100% assured the 1 view is coming from YouTube bots/crawlers (since the views from bots doesn't count).

If bots are analysing the video before send it to a pool of audience then it must be checking fundamental factors:
- Analysing your reliability of content, if content is repetitive/spam.
- Analysing the channel history and trust score

If you get 1 view on the video and it doesn't score more views after 30mn to 45mn you're very likely shadowbaned and your channel is a ghost in the eyes of the algo.

If anyone have some hidden findings like this one, share it with us here.

Your analysis seems relevant !
 
I started my journey on 22nd of August and got like 50-400 views on my first YT Shorts videos. Then I suddenly got 20k on the next one and the ones after that ranging from 1-10k - but as of 30th of August, I suddenly got none views. Gmail account is fresh (like 1-2 months old) and I upload 3 videos a day. Tell me if you need any more information.

Would you recommend me to keep on posting 3 times a week or should I stop a couple of days?
 
honestly I think it's fantastic because every time I see "garbage" shorts and I think as a consumer, if such a famous social network, the second largest can become such a poor medium, and it's not good
 
But they have done more changes to boost shorts like it will be shown for search queries.

If you talking abt 0 reach on spam channels than it's obviously a matter of trust.



Before the update, the subs you get from Shorts videos will not get your longer-form videos recommended to them. in other words, they have 0 effect on the channel growth just numbers with no benefits. That's why was recommended to create a channel dedicated to Shorts. But now, with the bridge between Shorts and longer-form videos, subs coming from shorts will interact with your longer-form videos which will generate extra engagement and boost your videos in the recommendation.



Yes it's a good update for people who just started a channel and needs a boost.



Longer-form videos? if you have a shorts channel with good engagement then start longer videos.

Valueable info
 
Youtube has therefore planned to separate long videos and short videos and normally very soon, each format (short and long) will have its own tab on the channel.

Should we separate the long formats and the short formats on two completely different channels?

Youtube's recommendation is very simple, it depends on the audience...
If your shorts and your long formats have the same audience, it's best to post everything on the same channel.
If your shorts and your long formats have two different audiences, it is better to separate the two in dedicated channels.
 
Trust Google to manipulate content creators. Now they want to force people to upload more free content in the form of long videos. Creators who prefer to work with shorts are better off sticking to Tiktok and Instagram. Normally, when Google starts to roll these algorithm updates, it's downhill from there for content creators.
 
So I have built a tool that can analyze and automate pretty much anything online.
Did research on YouTube and scanned a couple of thousands of accounts to find new accounts with a high number of views.
What I discovered was that almost all accounts that were doing well had over 1000 subs the first week.
The dominant players are people speaking Bangla, Hindi, and Tamil.
So YouTube doesn't seem to care if new accounts suddenly have over 1000 subs in the first couple of days.
These are not old empty accounts that have been sitting for years. They are fresh and newly registered.

So those of you who tell everyone they get shadowbanned for some mystic reason probably don't tell you that they
bought subs from maybe an SMM Panel or some other means. I notice that a lot of those accounts also get banned.
So if some of you get pissed for disclosing this information I'm sorry about that but YouTube is gonna close that loophole
shortly anyway. Maybe better to start something real and build it slowly. Maybe your future self would thank you for it.

PS. I'm an asshole :p

No why?
It is just how it is. These people are very resourceful. Where the rest of the world sees trash or waste of time, they see opportunity. This is why they are the dominant players.
Not only on YouTube. It's amazing what you can learn if you really dig into the research and analyze things.
