What is changing?

YouTube is updating its Shorts recommendation system. With the new arrangement, original content will be pushed further forward in the recommendation feed.

Re-uploaded videos

Videos taken from elsewhere, re-uploaded, and offering nothing new to the viewer will see reduced reach. The goal is to increase the visibility of genuinely produced content in the Shorts feed.

Who is affected?

The change concerns everyone who creates and watches content on Shorts. Channels producing original work may gain visibility, while accounts that copy and repost content may get fewer views.
