Nach 3 Monaten Pause 800k views in 24h

Nach 3 Monaten Pause 800k views in 24h

Nachdem ich drei Monate lang überhaupt keine Motivation zum Posten hatte (von durchschnittlich 100.000 Views auf 5.000 abgestürzt), habe ich beschlossen mal wieder hochzuladen.

Mein erstes Video blieb bei 300 Views hängen, mein zweites ist innerhalb von 24 Stunden auf 800.000 explodiert.

Damit ist es mit Abstand mein am schnellsten wachsendes Video überhaupt.

Laufzeit 16 Minuten, durchschnittliche Wiedergabedauer 6 Minuten, 8 % CTR bei 3,3 Millionen Impressionen. 1.600 neue Abos (insgesamt jetzt 7.000). Außerdem hat es das Video, das bei 300 Views festhing, mit nach oben gezogen, inzwischen steht es bei 50.000 Views.

Einfach immer weiter machen Jungs, nie die Motivation verlieren.

Where to get monetized accounts

I keep seeing accounts with 10k+ but only 10 videos. Are these people buying the accounts ? If yes, where would you do that

My CTR completely collapsed even though my thumbnails barely changed. What am I missing?

I’ve been stuck for months and honestly don’t know what to try anymore.

A few months ago, my YouTube videos were averaging around 50k views. At around 20k views, my CTR was usually 12%+, and the videos would keep getting pushed.

Now, with a thumbnail style that’s still very similar, I can barely get above 10%, and every new thumbnail design I’ve experimented with performs even worse. Most of them don’t even reach 5% CTR.

I make documentary-style videos about car manufacturers. The content itself hasn’t really changed. The topics are very similar to what used to work, and my thumbnails still follow the same overall style.

The weird part is that I don’t feel like my content suddenly became worse. It just feels like people stopped clicking.

Most videos barely managed to reach 3k views.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is YouTube simply rewarding different thumbnail styles now, or could there be something else going on that I’m overlooking?

▲ 14 r/CATHELP

🐱❤️ I need advice & help for a young stray mama cat and her kittens ❤️🐱

Male 23/greece/1yo/female

A young stray cat showed up outside my house and decided to stay. Not long after, she gave birth to three tiny kittens right here.

She is still very young herself, and I’m becoming really worried about her condition.

Lately, she is losing a lot of fur, she suddenly wants to cuddle all the time (which is very unusual for her), and she seems to be losing weight even though she has constant access to dry food and I also feed her wet food three times a day.

Is this normal after giving birth? Could it just be hormones and stress, or is something wrong with her?

I also strongly feel that she should be spayed as soon as possible. I honestly don’t think her body would survive another pregnancy in her current state, especially since she is already so young and seems quite weak after this one.

I would really like to take her to a vet for a full check-up and also have her sterilized, but right now I simply don’t have the €150 needed for the procedure.

Unfortunately, there is also no real support from organizations or the state here, since Greece already has a huge stray cat problem and help is very limited.

Does anyone know what I can do in this situation? Any advice, experience, or ideas would really mean a lot. Even sharing this post could help 🙏

Thank you so much ❤️🐾

A/b test destroying video reach ?

I run 2 longform channels. 2 completely different languages and audiences. I uploaded a video on both channels on the same day using the a/b test feature the first time. For some reason they didn’t get pushed out at all. Is there a reason for this? Is the a/b feature the reason why they both have way lower views than usual?

New videos on multiple channels not getting initial push.

Two days ago I uploaded long-form videos to two of my channels. For some reason, neither of them got pushed by YouTube. The videos weren’t even shown to my subscribers.

On my German channel, I usually average 20–30k views on the day of upload, but this video is stuck at around 400 views. On my English channel, I only have two videos, but both have well over 100k views, while this one is stuck at around 600 views.

The stats on both videos are pretty much the same as usual, so I would at least expect them to get some initial push.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Extremer views Einbruch ( wirklich extrem)

Servus Freunde,

Vor 2 Tagen habe ich auf zwei meiner Kanäle Videos hochgeladen ( longform) warum auch immer wurden beide nicht gepusht. Die Videos wurden nicht mal meinen Abonentent angezeigt. Auf meinem deutschen Kanal average ich 20-30k views am Tag des uploads. Das Video hängt bei 400. auf meinem englischen Kanal sind nur 2 Videos, beide aber weit über 100k Aufrufe ( Video hängt bei 600). Stats von den Videos sind so wie immer also sollten sie zumindest ein wenigen gepusht werden. Weiß jemand woran das liegen könnte ?

Eng Algorithmus vs De Algorithmus/ reused content HILFE.

Hey zusammen,

ich bin seit ca. 5 Monaten aktiv am Hochladen und schaffe mittlerweile durchschnittlich 30k Aufrufe pro Video auf meinem deutschen Kanal. Vor etwa 3 Wochen habe ich angefangen, meine Videos ins Englische zu übersetzen, da die CPMs dort deutlich höher sind und der Aufwand sich wirklich in Grenzen hält. Dazu kommt natürlich die wesentlich größere Reichweite im englischen Sprachraum.

Was mich dann wirklich überrascht hat: Meine ersten beiden englischen Videos sind relativ viral gegangen. Das erste steht mittlerweile bei 350k Aufrufen, das zweite bei 80k und wird gerade noch gepusht.

Was mir aber aufgefallen ist, ist dass der Algorithmus auf Englisch komplett anders funktioniert als auf Deutsch. Beim deutschen Kanal ist es ein klares “Do or die” Prinzip. Ich lade um 17 Uhr hoch, und wenn das Video nicht noch am selben Abend gepusht wird und nicht auf die 20-30k Aufrufe kommt, kann ich zu 90% vorhersagen dass es ein Flop wird und unter 20k stirbt. Der englische Algorithmus scheint dagegen komplett anders zu ticken. Die Videos wachsen dort wesentlich langsamer, meist nicht mal über 2k Views pro Stunde, werden aber dafür über 6-7 Tage gleichmäßig mit ca. 1-1,5k Views pro Stunde gepusht. Habt ihr ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht? Liegt das am größeren Konkurrenzfeld auf Englisch oder ist der Algorithmus dort grundsätzlich anders kalibriert?

Außerdem hätte ich noch eine Frage zum Thema Reused Content, die mich etwas beschäftigt. Da ich meine Videos übersetze, nutze ich im Wesentlichen dasselbe Material. Verändert haben sich die Sprache, die Einblendungen und der Kommentar, aber das Hintergrundmaterial, das Stock Footage, Musik und Sound FX sind identisch. Könnte YouTube das als Reused Content werten und denken, ich klaue meinen eigenen Content vom deutschen Kanal?

Hat jemand damit Erfahrung oder weiß wie YouTube das in der Praxis handhabt? Würde mich über eure Einschätzungen sehr freuen!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I Reached Monetization With Just one Translated Video (Update)

A few days ago I made a post saying that I believe every creator making content in a non-English language should seriously consider creating a second channel and translating their videos into English.

Then I posted an update after uploading my first translated video because the stats were honestly way better than I expected.

Now I can proudly give you guys another update:

I officially reached the monetization goal with just that ONE translated video.

The original channel already performs well in my native language, but translating the content into English opened it up to a completely different audience size.

For anyone sitting on good content in another language: don’t underestimate how much potential you might be leaving on the table.

u/Dry_Fly8391 — 5 months ago

I own 2 monetized YouTube channels, so I’m not new to the process. 5days ago, I started a new channel and uploaded the first video, which has already reached 80K views, well over 4K watch hours and nearly 600 subscribers.

The problem: the first monetization tier isn’t showing up at all in YouTube Studio ( I know it takes time to update the stats, but on my other channels it showed the fist and second tier). It’s been a while since I went through the monetization setup on a fresh channel, so I’m wondering did YouTube quietly remove or restructure the first goal? Has anyone else run into this recently?

First video stats are incredible

A year ago I started editing videos for my German channel. No experience, no clue what I was doing. My first few videos didn’t even crack 200 views.
But I kept going. Slowly picked up editing, scriptwriting, pacing, all of it. The channel grew to 600K monthly views, and more importantly, I actually got good.
Recently I decided to take all my German content, translate it into English, and launch a new channel. Same topics, same effort, but now with 12 months of skills behind me.
First video: 53K views. 4K watch hours. 430 subscribers.
The progress you’re making right now might be invisible to you. The skills are stacking whether you see it or not. Don’t quit before it compounds.
Keep going.

For those of you who mainly create content in a non-English language please consider translating your videos.

I run a German channel (average of 40-50k views per vid) and just uploaded my first English video on a brand new channel 3 days ago. The CTR started at 3% and has climbed non-stop to 10.2% with ~40k impressions and about 50% AvD.

my first videos on my German channel had way lower stats in the beginning and it took way longer for me to break the 5k mark ( the first English video did it in 2 days )

And it’s really not that much extra work. I already have the base video in German, so I just need to adjust the pacing and replace the language of any screenshots I show. That’s it.

Hey everyone, looking for some honest advice from creators who’ve been here before.
I run a YouTube channel (business/automotive niche) with an average of around 50–55k views per video over my last 10 uploads. A company recently booked a 60-second placement in one of my videos – my very first sponsorship ever – and we agreed on €500. They paid 100% upfront, which was great.
The problem: the video is performing significantly worse than my usual content. The CTR especially is notably lower than my channel average, and the AVD is also down. Based on the early trajectory, I can already tell this video is likely to cap out at 10–20k views – well below what the sponsor probably expected based on my typical performance.
On top of that, they also gave me an affiliate link, and so far there have been zero clicks and zero purchases through it.
What makes this more stressful: at the start of our conversations, they mentioned they were interested in a long-term partnership, not just a one-off. I really need that kind of stable income and was genuinely excited about it. Now I feel terrible that the video isn’t delivering, and I’m scared they’ll write me off and never book again.
My questions:
• Do I proactively reach out to them and be transparent about the performance? Or wait and see?
• If I do reach out, what’s the right tone – apologetic, matter-of-fact, solution-focused?
• Should I offer something to make it right (e.g. a discount on the next placement, a free mention somewhere)? Or does that signal weakness/desperation?
• For those who’ve had a slow-performing sponsored video – did it kill the relationship, or were sponsors more understanding than expected?
• Any tips on how to handle the affiliate link situation?
I genuinely care about doing right by this sponsor because I want a real long-term relationship, not just a one-time thing. But I also don’t want to overreact and make it weird. What would you do?
