Hello! I’am a YT Shorts content creator for 26 days now, I’m almost 1M views on shorts (960K), I’ve noticed a really weird pattern on youtube’s short algorithm.
Whenever I upload a short, it normally goes from 1k then it slowly builds momentum and spikes up to 20K+ or in waves.
But on my two recent uploads, it changed. After posting a video, it rises to 3K+ instantly and builds momentum. And my Retention is super bad on these first hours, (40 percent stayed to watch) etc…
Idk if it’s just me? Can someone please explain? I’m in the ROBLOX commentary niche, I find it quite weird.
