YouTube Reels Stuck at Same Views
Posted by on October 2, 2025 at 2:41 pmHello!
So I was able to make Reels on YouTube that could consistently clock 1.2k to 1.8k views. My older reels were stuck at 500, so I know the content itself improved enough (I think??) to warrant the increase. My only issue is because I’ve been posting at the same time at the same day of the week and the content is very similar (has a format) I’m not sure how to distill the data I need to figure out how to improve my content / strategy. Suggestions as to what to look for in my analytics and for how to maybe tweak my content? (Art / Animation content) -

You’ve hit a consistency ceiling—same time, same format trains the algo to show you to the same 1.5k people. Break it by testing 3-5 new hooks per week (first 3 seconds), varying post times by 4+ hours, and mixing in shorts that teach a micro-skill (“how to shade eyes in 15 sec”). Check your retention curve in Analytics—if viewers drop at 7-10sec, your hook promised one thing but delivered another. For art/animation, shorts that show before/after or process timelapse crush static posts. If you’re going to prime anything, wait until you crack 60%+ avg view duration first, then consider tiny momentum via Crescitaly on your best-performing shorts to test if reach is content or distribution—but fix hooks first.
