Is something going on with youtube shorts? Iโm seeing a ton of people having their views chopped into less than half lately & thatโs if theyโre lucky :|
Did the whole view change thing a couple months ago screw up the algo & now ppl have to rework their reach again or something?
Good no more code giveaways.
Myself & a lot of other have been saying giveaways are against TOS & a bad idea. A bunch of these issues happened because ppl decided to break TOS for a few likes and engagement.
Iโm glad itโs being more enforced along with everything else now
Update regarding community safety on VGen
UNETHICAL BROKERS:
Happy to say weโve identified many previously unconfirmed JRUhub brokers, affiliates, and other unethical group accounts and they have all been banned for misrepresenting the nature of their profiles and services, intentionally inviting bad actors, and ban evading.
Big thank you to everyone in our community who has helped to investigate, report on-site, and provide detailed proof that our team were then able to review and take action on. Thank you for helping us keep the community safe!
REMAINING BROKERS:
In the short term, broker discovery has been rebalanced, their withheld funds processed through VGen Payments may not be released until after a commission is complete, and all brokers will continue to not have any invite codes. If any broker accounts mistype themselves as an individual or studio, they will now be suspended for at least 1 month immediately upon discovery.
We are still evaluating whether additional long-term actions are required.
Please do not assume all brokers are bad. However, if you do see suspicious behaviour, please continue to report them on-site and we will investigate.
ARTIST INVITE CODES:
There is now a hard limit of 2 unused artist invite codes per Verified Artist at any given time. If you earn more through a challenge or special event drop and you already have 2 in your dashboard, you wonโt receive any more.
ARTIST CODE GIVEAWAYS:
Effective Nov 1, 2026, general contests, raffles, or applications are no longer allowed, even if recipients are screened. This is due to the increasing sophistication of groups who fraudulently misrepresent themselves as individuals.
If you see someone hosting a raffle or are in violation of our Artist Code Policy in any way, please report them on-site with a screenshot or link to their violating post and weโll investigate. Their first offence will result in a warning before more severe administrative actions may be taken for repeated offences, including losing verification status and suspensions.

@HarlequinClips Iโve seen that too and it makes me sad that one of the ppl I looked up to editing was promoting ai clippers.
How can I trust youโre not using those on your clients comms and only yours?
Hot take but if youโre not making merchandise to sell or using AS A PROMOTION or in a sponsored post, you shouldnโt have to pay commercial rights.
Posting on twitch, YouTube, and social media shouldnโt automatically result in someone having to pay extra, especially as a vtuber
Just saw a stunning full illustration, VGEN listing $60
> peek inside request form
> actual starting price $90 for an icon
> full body $200
> design complexity fee between $40 to ONE FIFTY WITH A PLUS
> same for bg ($40-150+)
> VTubers count as commercial x2
Please price for your time and skill, but man it feels a bit misleading ๐ฌ
