Hey guys, looking for some advice from experienced creators.

About 15 days ago, I launched a new channel targeting the US audience. Unfortunately, just a couple of days in, I received a "Dangerous Content/Acts" Warning on one of my Shorts (it was a drift edit, and the AI algorithm probably flagged it as reckless driving).

Ever since that warning, my channel has been in total lockdown. I spent days researching, scripting, and heavily editing 3 long-form videos, ensuring high retention and engaging pacing. I also put a lot of effort into making clean, clickable thumbnails.

I am literally getting 100–200 impressions per video after two weeks. Some of my recent Shorts are literally sitting at 0 views. At first, I thought my content just sucked or the niche was too saturated, but now it's obvious that the Warning completely tanked my reach.

I’m feeling super demotivated burning through my best video ideas for 100 impressions. I have a few questions for anyone who has been through this:

1. How long does this "shadowban"/freeze usually last after getting a warning on a young channel?

2. Should I keep uploading long-form videos, or am I just wasting good content right now?

3. Should I take a complete break, or just post low-effort Shorts to keep the channel active?

Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! Just finished working on a new video about the most insane, rare, and ridiculously expensive drift builds on the planet.We are talking about cars you rarely see sideways due to their price tags and rarity. Check out the full video on my channel and let me know what you think!

Hey guys. I’m a new creator in the JDM/Automotive niche. My first video took 10 days to make and flopped. This time, I spent only 3 days on a 7-minute video, trying to focus on a strong hook and fast pacing.

I used a high-quality AI voice for narration. The CTR seems okay, but the views are not picking up yet. I’m wondering: In the automotive niche, do viewers immediately leave if they hear an AI voice? Or should I focus more on the visual storytelling?

I’d love to hear from anyone who successfully used AI voices or struggled with them. If anyone wants to take a look and give some feedback on the thumbnail/hook, I can DM the link.
