Hi @TeamYouTube , could someone please manually review my channel? For over a week, my new Shorts have essentially stopped being distributed to the Shorts feed.

The biggest issue is that these videos aren’t even reaching a seed audience. Most receive 0–5 Shorts feed views in the first couple of days, so they never get a chance to be tested. This isn’t a case of poor performance—they’re simply not being shown.

I’ve signed out of my account, deleted and reinstalled the app, signed back in, and even uploaded from different devices with no change. My workflow hasn’t changed either: same original construction content, no copyright claims, and no policy violations. Older Shorts are still getting views—it’s only new uploads.

Could someone please look directly at my account to see if there’s a distribution issue or something preventing my Shorts from entering the Shorts feed? I’d really appreciate a manual review. Thank you. My account is at @ Hinglebuild on YouTube. Obe Hingle

Thanks for the response. I’ve have tested all of those steps. I’ve uploaded from multiple devices (iPhone and desktop), signed out and back in, and reinstalled the app. The issue is unchanged.

This doesn’t appear to be a device or app problem. My older Shorts are still receiving Shorts Feed impressions, but my last 7 consecutive new Shorts receive essentially no initial Shorts Feed testing after upload (often 0 or only a handful of Shorts Feed impressions for days).

Could someone on the team please review my channel for a potential distribution issue or technical bug and escalate this to engineering if needed? My channel is @HingleBuild. I’d really appreciate someone taking a look, as this behavior has been consistent for over a week.

Hi @TeamYouTube, could you check my channel @HingleBuild? My last 4 Shorts have received almost no Shorts feed impressions after normally getting distribution within minutes. Could there be a technical issue affecting my Shorts? Happy to share screenshots. Thanks!

Thanks for the links, but this isn't normal underperformance. My channel @HingleBuild has a complete technical flatline.
0 Shorts Feed impressions on my last 7 consecutive daily uploads upon posting.
Zero immediate seed audience testing. The videos sit at absolute zero short views for days, only getting a delayed trickle of 10 to 20ish views days later. The system is failing to run initial feed tests.
No copyright claims, no restrictions, 1080x1920 format, and strictly original content.
This looks like an indexing freeze or a false automated flag delaying/suppressing distribution. Could a human support agent please escalate this to engineering to check my backend status? Screenshot attached

@ShawnRyan762 Love that you’re having these type of convos. Pushes back on narratives that have been set and puts the human in Hunter Biden.

@RandPaul Mr. Paul. With all of the things you say, although extreme, I typically think you have wisdom. But simply saying tariffs are tax on the the consumer is short sighted and does not look at the whole picture.

@sciencegirl Hatred. It burns within and kills everything good in its path.

@nerdalert It did this to me too with the leaves. Although other obstacle avoidance and speed bump, slow down has been much better.

@fredlambert This is so fake. He’s pressing the accelerator.
