My Heart of gold cover from 2010 nokia phone made into a short for July 2026

Hey everyone, I know you might have seen this video already but i have edited into a short for a phone screen, I am nearly finished the full version the chord progession from E minor7 to D and back to Eminor has been a good challenge but worth really worth it as using Emior the whole time sounds very wrong ad repetitive.

This is the short i made anyhow from 2010 Nokia burner phone video to a 2026 short version i made with Windows moviemaker 2012 and I converted the 16:9 version to a 9:16 on a converted website

Built a tool for creators to track brand deals, follow-ups, rates, and usage rights

I kept seeing creators lose track of brand conversations across DMs, email, Notes, and spreadsheets, so I built a tool to keep the deal side organized.

It helps with:

  • tracking brand leads and active deals
  • organizing rates, deliverables, and due dates
  • logging follow ups so conversations do not die
  • tracking usage rights so creators know what brands can use and for how long

I built it for creators who are already getting inbound or pitching regularly and are tired of managing everything manually.

I am not posting this as a spam drop. I want real feedback from creators who actually deal with brand work:
What part of managing creator deals is still the biggest mess for you right now?

Feel depressed !! Stuck in the 20k–40k Shorts "jail" after 20 Shorts? Everything looks good but I can't break through. Should I start a new channel?

I've been running a Spanish Animation Shorts channel for about 2 months and I'm trying to understand if the channel is the problem or if I just need to keep going ( it a 2016 channel and i used last year to add some shorts but i diseabled them and i start from sratch this niche )

Here are my stats:

  • Around 242k views in the last 28 days (+26%)
  • +536 subscribers in the last 28 days ( im reaching now 1K subs )
  • 120k unique viewers (+56%)
  • About 900 watch hours
  • I post 3–4 Shorts per week
  • Audience: Mexico / Spanish-speaking Latin America

My Shorts usually get:

  • 20k–30k views
  • Occasionally 40k–50k (best is ~52k)
  • Like ratio: 97–99%
  • Viewed vs Swiped is usually 80–85% viewed
  • Average view duration is around 23–24 seconds on 20–26 second Shorts (some loops go over 100% retention).

The strange thing is that almost every video seems to stop somewhere between 20k and 40k views. I rarely see a second push.

A YouTube expert told me the issue is probably the channel itself, and suggested starting a brand-new channel ( as everything and even the editing looks so profesisonal with the hook and end loopand all ! =

My questions are:

  1. Has anyone experienced a similar "20k–40k Shorts jail"?
  2. Did creating a new channel actually solve it? and put the same video after deleting them can resolve this ?
  3. Or did you eventually break through on the same channel?
  4. Looking at these numbers, is there anything that stands out as a likely bottleneck?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have actually experienced this rather than just guessing.

Thanks!

Help finding an ad I saw on YouTube Shorts

There was an Uber Eats ad that I saw about two 2d characters and one of them is a paper bag. I don't remember what item was the other character. They were riding a motorcycle and i think they went inside an Uber Eats grocery bag. I tried my best searching but I can't seem to find it so please leave the link in the comments section.

Bring back the dislike button.

Like if I see some dumb stuff or someone saying stupid stuff, I want the option to dislike the video, but now I have to go into the comments and express my dislike which is just awkward for everyone.
