You wanna know how WEIRD the current Youtube algorithm is? Even though I've uploaded 1 normal review and 4 Youtube Shorts (about to be 5) in September, I'm on track to get about 40 FEWER subscribers than I did in June...which was 2 months deep into my 4 month hiatus.
After 60 days of zero videos/posts, people were still finding my channel and kindly deciding to see what would happen next.
But somehow I'm performing worse now, uploading actual content, then I did when I wasn't posting AT ALL. This sort of thing has never happened at any point in the last 2 years.
I was fully prepared to admit that my South Park videos were either ill-made or just not the right fit for my audience...but judging what I've been hearing around Youtube, it looks like something larger is going on.
I'll know for certain when I start posting King of the Hill shorts in 10 days. And even more certain when I get back to the regular KoTH reviews after this Shorts experimentation month. If even that stuff under performs, then something has really gone sideways.
Now I want to cling to KoTH as tight as I can, cause everything else is getting bled dry.
Yet, I don't think this is anything you guys can help with, as I've gotten comments from people saying they didn't know I posted South Park videos. Stuff is either being hidden or not presented at all.

Very, very strange.
