How To Escape Every YouTube Shorts View Jail
|
|
|
|
If your Shorts keep stalling near the same number, like 1K, 10K or 30K views, that's a view jail. Each one has a different cause.
|
|
Posting more of the same isn't the way out. The video puts each channel's stuck Shorts next to the ones that got further, and shows what to check before you change anything.
