@TeamYouTube What do thumbnails have to do with getting into the Shorts feed? The problem is that my videos are getting 0 test impressions inside the Shorts feed itself. People don’t click thumbnails in the swipe feed. Please check this technical bug properly. @TeamYouTube

Apologies. Getting consistent views can depend on viewers’ interest & current popular trends. For details, we recommend going through this article about YouTube performance FAQ & Troubleshooting: goo.gle/4vcVlwT Also, impressions only count if the content's thumbnail is shown for more than one second & at least 50% of it can be seen: goo.gle/43c56PD

10 days with no reply since you told me to restart my device. New Shorts still get 0 test impressions and never hit the feed. Is this an algorithmic shadowban or a system error? Please finally look into this properly and review the channel. @TeamYouTube

@samarth26 @TeamYouTube Exactly. It feels like a complete shadowban, but @TeamYouTube keeps ignoring the data. All I get are generic copy-paste scripts about restarting devices or audience interest, while my last 30 Shorts are completely blocked from getting even a single test impression.

@FluffyLOLzz @TeamYouTube You got a shadow ban I think

@TeamYouTube My app is updated and I’ve tried uploading from a PC. This is NOT a device issue; it’s a server-side discovery problem. My last 30 videos get 0 test impressions. Please look at the data instead of giving generic replies.

@FluffyLOLzz Appreciate the follow-up! If you haven't already, you can try restarting your device and then sign out & back into your acct. Also, make sure you're using the latest version of your browser or the YouTube app. More info here: goo.gle/4ncBYkx

@TeamYouTube Need help! My channel (ID: UCaqJtEIHbTXikWFZy2L8qxg) has 0 Shorts feed impressions for 20+ videos. It used to grow fast & gain many subs. Following Ask Studio advice, I took a 10-day break to fix this, but it didn't help. Technical bug or spam filter? Please review!

@TeamYouTube Still no response. My last 30 videos have 0 impressions from the Shorts feed. All views come exclusively from subscribers and search, meaning not a single video is getting any test impressions. One video has 153.3% retention but only 12 views total. Please perform a manual review

There could be a few reasons! For example: Less interest in the topic, or your target audience spending less time on YouTube. We recommend taking a bigger look at the past 365 days (or longer) to see if the drop is significant or just a short-term fluctuation. You may also see a decrease because we’ve improved our spam detection systems to help creators & viewers have a more accurate count. But this doesn’t impact your views or watch time! We already remove spam views from those metrics

@TeamYouTube Hi, thanks for the reply❤️ The problem is that my Shorts are no longer being shown in the feed. Previously, they performed well, with some videos reaching up to 36k views. Now, I have 21 videos in a row that get ~0 views from the Shorts feed. Why is this happening and how fix it?
