First Month Monetized (check description)

First Month Monetized (check description)

I kinda feel disappointed with youtube shorts, I heard from a friend that it is inconsistent but didn’t think it was this bad (of course depends on the niche). Since my objective is to make a living off youtube this is bad for me, 400€ dont even pay the rent over here. Im starting a long form channel but so far got 2 views on a video that took me days to edit but it’s the only choice I have if I want a good stable income, shorts are way easier to start getting views but the payoff usually is much lower.

Youtube hate small channel?

I started my channel 1 month ago, my video gained 400-1,7k views, lately it was 1k views jail, im grateful for the views but i really pissed off about YT always remove my subscriber. Im small channel, barely reach 50 subs. Every video i upload, i mostly got 1-5 subscriber. But YT always remove it later. For small channel like me, every sub is like hope and i frustrated how YT always take it back.

Does anyone have experience like me? especially small channel?

The way YouTube is algorithms work, or a significant bug affecting many creators, leading to a recent sharp drop in YouTube short?

Hey ppl, I already posted about what’s up on YouTube -> lately channels (esp small ones, but not only) have been getting hit hard, views just decreasing significantly, some down to crazy low numbers.

So yeah, I am in the same boat rn. My shorts barely hit 15–17 views, which is hella weird coz my old ones always got 1k+ views. Content didn’t change, format didn’t change.
Pls don’t drop the usual tips like “make it better, add hooks, keep posting lol.” Trust me, I’m not quitting my channel, not gonna happen.

Before I posted every 2 days, now I’m doing once a week. And nah, not reposting old vids that flopped - fresh stuff only. Just wanna test the theory a lot of ppl mentioned: new channels get good views at first, then boom ->> sudden drop. Cool, I’ll just wait it out. If in 1-2 weeks my sshorts start popping again, I’ll update. For now, still dead.
I sent a complaint to the support feedback twice, but who will answer me.

Also, I’ve been seeing more discussions about sudden drops in views, even from older channels. Coincidence? Or did smth actually break on YT early March?

I’ve been tracking a few channels ppl mentioned here, totally different content from mine & they post daily - using them as a metric to see if algo is back. they also used to get decent views, and then… early March — boom, gone.

  • So I’m asking the experienced YouTube folks: what’s your experience? Sudden drops u ever had? Did it bounce back or nah?
  • and if you’ve got a brand new channel, you’re posting, and your views didn’t drop at all - let us know that too

Don’t stress too hard, we’ll figure this together!
If anyone hit up YouTube support, read news, or knows any info - drop it pls.

20.000 SUSCRIPTORES

Wow, hoy mi canal llegó a 20,000 suscriptores y, sorprendentemente, cumple un mes desde que lo creé. Todo es posible si te lo propones.

I’m a barber trying to build an app (Extension)… would you pay for something like this?

I’ve been cutting hair for 10 years, but recently I started learning how to build things using AI.

I don’t have a coding background, so this is all new to me. Took a lot of trial and error (and honestly wasted some money too), but I managed to build a simple tool.

What it does is help creators generate content ideas in one click.

I’m still improving it, but I wanted to ask before I go further:

Would you actually pay for something like this?

If yes, what would you expect it to do better?
