Go to YouTube Studio and check
- Visibility: must be Public
- Restrictions: must be None
- Copyright: must show No issues
- Analytics: check if you are receiving Shorts Feed traffic
If there is a restriction
Fix the restriction first before doing anything else.
💡 KRAM Takeaway
- Check Studio before changing your entire strategy.
- Visibility plus Restrictions plus Copyright — all three must be clear.
- Shorts Feed traffic in analytics means YouTube is trying to distribute it.
