YouTube View Drops: How to Avoid Them

If you’ve ever promoted your videos and noticed a sudden drop in views, you’re not alone.

Many YouTubers have experienced a situation where YouTube removes or withholds views from their videos. But why do some channels experience regular drops while others rarely do? After analyzing data from all videos promoted through our service, we’ve identified key patterns and we’re here to share them with you.

How YouTube Handles New Views

When you upload a video, YouTube initially counts views and may show them publicly. However, it often temporarily hides some or all of those views to verify their authenticity. Once the verification is complete, valid views are restored.

This process is normal and nothing to worry about. If views appear to be missing, just give it up to 72 hours. YouTube will either return the verified views, or we’ll refill them for you. Your account and video performance won’t be affected. 

Why Views Might Not Count

It depends on several reasons:

1. The speed of views delivery. For example, if there are 5 views delivered simultaneously, they might be counted as one. Here you can buy YouTube quality views.
2. The topic. Certain topics are more likely to be flagged by the algorithm. COVID-related content and political videos almost always get flagged for review. Other sensitive subjects like religion, weapons, and discrimination may also face restrictions, especially in certain countries.
3. YouTube policy violations. We know some cases when a video was successfully uploaded and published, but restricted much later. 

How to Avoid View Drops and Algorithmic Penalties

When creating your content:

1. Stay updated on YouTube’s policy changes to ensure your videos stay compliant.
2. Make sure that your type of content does not violate YouTube rules. Prohibited kinds of content - sensitive content, violent or dangerous content, content connected with regulated goods. 

Important note! If your content is marked as “Made for Kids,” it must not include any adult themes. YouTube now strictly categorizes content as either “for kids” or “for adults.”

When making an order in your personal Viewsta account:

1. Choose geo-targeted services for non-English content. Read more on how SEO keywords improve your viewer count.
2. Avoid placing multiple orders for the same video using the same type of service at once.

By following these tips, you can reduce the chances of view drops and keep your channel in good standing. And remember — all guaranteed Viewsta services come with a 100% refill in case of drops.
