Hey guys,

I wanted to ask if anyone had any experience with a similar situation, been growing a youtube shorts channel. Originally with re posted Content, now all original but now rebranded with original content, my views climb with my original content but with tank seemingly randomly and I've been pushing hard to keep my videos afloat as I know if I let my views drop it will be incredibly hard to bring it back.

I've realised if you are pulling in 100k + views all your views will go up and newly posted videos will grow fast to, however if you let your views drop to 10k it will make it nearly impossible to get to that earlier stage of growth and views.

My issue is that my views TANK and it seems in a rather strange and artificial. Below are a few examples but it happens Alot recently, one hour a video will be healthy, next it drops from 1k views an he to 100 or something ridiculously small, usually a video will flat line or slowly become irrelevant, not like this.

It's rather frustrating as I'm working hard for Barely any returns trying to keep my channel alive, sometimes posting 10 videos a day and I've seen people literally copy my video ideas half arsed and YouTube push there Vids even if they have barely any subs.

I thought maybe it had something to do with the sandbox theory or shadow bans, do you guys have any experience with this.

This is a shorts channel by the way,

Thank you

I wonder if it is channel dependent or YouTube cracking down on Shorts in general. I have been tracking this channel the past few days; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3FDVtHiKkooTaHh-zBMWlA/videos

They were getting 100s of views on most of their spam shorts within an hour, now nearly all of them are 0 or 1 view.

I think the it may be channel dependent, however I think the shorts algorithm is changing.

I did have a copyright strike Which may be a cause but I think Alot of it is due to the algorithm promoting random channels, you can't control too much.

it all depends on your luck i start a new channel get 100k for the whole channel and get 300subscribes
 
Does number of channels per device matter? Do you think drop in views is caused by many channels per device?
