Am I actually shadow banned on YouTube?!

No, your watchtime or CTR probably isn’t what it once was therefore YouTube has no reason to push you to viewers anymore.

This is just me and no hate at all but I stopped watching you a while ago because your video seems like it's gonna be a commentary one when you title it something like"the problem with season 4" and you maybe talk about it for the first 10 seconds but the rest is gameplay. I personally click off cause I don't enjoy gameplay videos myself but you also are posting a lot of videos talking about you quitting and hating on the game. I don't think this is the reason for you possibly being shadow banned just my personal opinion on your content.

Yo @Ninja you are making the algorithm work against you. Long gameplay clips aren't in, and are maybe better suited for shorts away from a video based channel. Your video titles read like dedicated videos, but are just gameplay with some loose relation to the topic. I imagine your watch% is low, leading to less recommendations. The way you make content is probably best suited for a shorts/stream channel. I would dump doing videos all together. If you want to do videos, they need to be intentional ones, not cuts of stream.

here to help! mind sharing more context of the issue, so we can point you in the right direction

Majority of initial audience grew up

I have to legit search you up to find your videos now

Shorts is a powerful way to get your content back into people's feeds. Having high quality shorts that have potential to go viral can help a ton. If you want help with your short form, would love to help you. Messages are open.

I stopped watching ninja when he started playing only zero build. The skill level is so low that it’s just not fun to watch

Same thing happened to one of my channels (couldn’t even break 20k). I made a new one with the same content and got 1.2M my third post.

I mean....your still playing Fortnite where most creators have moved on, and your saying negative things about other creators.

YouTube likes to push out their favorites. They also prefer to push out creators who dedicate their time for a YouTube video & not just grabbing stream highlights. Maybe need to be more engaging but idk YouTube is weird sometimes

🙀！？

Most likely…

Quick check, my man! -Your breaks between videos are not regular -You're lacking short content -Shorts don't have selected thumbnails. -You're not testing the new YouTube feature with different thumbnails!!!! If you need some help with that, you know who to call!

Bro I haven't seen you pop up on my feed for over 2 years and tbh I kinda forgot you existed lol, I still have respect for you since you were the first YouTube icon

Honestly I did notice you were not on my YouTube feed anymore…that’s wild

Yes, I can barely find your content anymore let alone your account 🤦🏽‍♂️

Create a second account incase something like that happens. It will protect you in the future.

I agree with everyone on here

I’m being deadass, I haven’t seen one of your videos on my feed in a long time

Honestly i havent seen a ninja vid in atleast 3 weeks pop up on my feed

Took you off my feed also. I have you subscribed. But never see you live anymore.

It’s because you stabbed Doc in the back you fucking pussy.

Can confirm, subbed to you for years and after mid C5S3 I no longer see your streams show up on YouTube recommended nor your videos. I checked the other day, I'm still subbed, but things you upload will get buried in my sub list below things they came out before it.

Probably because nobody has watched you since 2018!

I love when creators fall off and are like “must be shadow banned”, no one is watching ninja in 2024 😂

Your channel doesn't show up unless one types ninja fortnite

Oh same here. Now I go straight to who I subscribe to, to see instantly their latest video.

Yeahh I see your shorts before I ever see your videos nowadays. The last ninja vid I had pop up was when you headshot sniped someone in mega city that was jumping down on you which had to be a year or more by now

ur not shadow banned its the game u playz fornite sucks and u never try new games, go play overwatch with fatty, and rage together.. would be fun to watch

don't worry, it's just a glitch, you'll be back in the spotlight soon enough.

I had the same problem recently, it lasted 7 days...

Ain't no way this dude also has a bot lobby in reload
