YouTube’s NEW Shorts Algorithm Update Changes EVERYTHING! Do This For MORE Subscribers FAST!

[00:00] YouTube just released a brand new shorts

[00:01] algorithm that completely changes

[00:03] everything because now they're using AI

[00:04] in order to actually monitor your

[00:06] content to determine whether or not they

[00:07] should push it out. They change the

[00:09] [music] settings that you need to make

[00:10] sure are turned on and so much more. And

[00:11] if you simply adapt to the changes that

[00:13] I share with you in this video, it's

[00:14] easier than ever before for you to be

[00:16] able to get subscribers on YouTube. In

[00:17] fact, I just helped this creator, this

[00:19] creator, and this creator get over

[00:21] 100,000 subscribers on YouTube by simply

[00:23] implementing what I'm going to share

[00:24] with you. Change number one that YouTube

[00:26] has now implemented is now they're using

[00:28] Gemini to actually watch your content

[00:30] before they ever upload it. And

[00:31] essentially the way that this works is

[00:33] that Gemini is a multimodal model. If

[00:35] you don't know what Gemini is, it's

[00:36] basically YouTube's version of ChatGPT

[00:39] or Google's version of ChatGPT. And

[00:40] Google owns YouTube. So now what they're

[00:42] doing is they're running your content

[00:44] through that before your content ever

[00:45] gets posted. And what they're looking

[00:47] for is alignment on three things. First

[00:49] and foremost, they want to make sure

[00:51] that whatever you're creating content

[00:52] about, you are actually showing in the

[00:54] video. For example, if I was making

[00:55] content about an iPhone, I'd want to

[00:58] make sure that I actually show an

[00:59] iPhone. And you need to make sure that

[01:01] you're doing this in the beginning of

[01:02] your content. In fact, the first three

[01:04] to five seconds is really where they're

[01:05] looking for whether or not you're

[01:06] showing whatever you're actually

[01:08] telling. In addition to that, they want

[01:09] to make sure that the text that you have

[01:11] on the screen, which yes, their AI model

[01:13] can also see, matches the text that

[01:16] they're going to find in the title of

[01:17] your video, in the description of your

[01:19] video, in the subtitles of your video,

[01:21] and in the tags of your video. And then

[01:23] the other thing that they're looking for

[01:24] is they want to make sure that your

[01:25] content isn't just a carbon copy of

[01:28] somebody else's content because if

[01:29] you're not providing people information

[01:31] on a topic, well, guess what? Your

[01:33] content isn't going to get pushed out.

[01:35] What I'm saying is that you need to make

[01:36] sure that you can still create content

[01:39] about topics that are popular in your

[01:40] niche or topics that are outliers or

[01:42] that are trending in your niche. But you

[01:43] need to make sure that whatever you're

[01:45] actually saying about that topic is

[01:47] going to be something that's new because

[01:49] otherwise YouTube's going to say, "Hey,

[01:51] we have 100,000 people interested in

[01:53] this, but they've already seen this

[01:54] information. So if they get shown this

[01:56] information again, they're going to get

[01:57] bored, they're not going to watch us,

[01:59] and then they'll just stop pushing out

[02:00] your content." This brings me to change

[02:02] number two, which is kind of

[02:03] piggybacking on that point. And that is

[02:05] that you can't just upload content that

[02:07] already exists on YouTube now. So you

[02:09] can't repost content, you can't take

[02:11] somebody else's content, and you can't

[02:13] just take somebody's content and change

[02:15] the script a little bit. You need to

[02:16] make sure that you're actually giving

[02:18] YouTube new information. And I actually

[02:21] have a really easy way for you to be

[02:22] able to do this by leveraging AI. Check

[02:25] this out. So, let's say for argument's

[02:27] sake that I wanted to recreate this

[02:28] video right here about the five best

[02:30] online business ideas for 2026. What I

[02:32] would do is I would come over to ChatGPT

[02:34] right here, or you could use Claude or

[02:36] any other AI that you want, and you

[02:38] could say, "I want to create a YouTube

[02:41] video on this topic." And then you're

[02:43] going to put in the title right here,

[02:45] and we're going to say, "But I want to

[02:47] include completely different

[02:50] information." And then what you're going

[02:52] to do is you're going to get the

[02:53] transcript of this video. You're going

[02:55] to put this in here and say, "I want you

[02:57] to give me different information than

[02:59] other people have thought of." Or what

[03:00] you could do is just say, "I want you to

[03:03] give me five things that aren't popular,

[03:06] but would appeal to a very large

[03:10] audience." Now, what this is going to do

[03:12] is this is going to give you other

[03:13] things that aren't going to be things

[03:15] that are really popular. For example, AI

[03:18] inbox manager, it literally goes through

[03:19] everything that you could do here.

[03:21] Personal AI setup, goes through

[03:23] everything that you could do here. And

[03:24] basically, you want to use AI in order

[03:27] to be able to uncover things that other

[03:28] people haven't spoken about on YouTube.

[03:30] Because if you're just copying what

[03:31] other people have already spoken about

[03:33] on YouTube, it's going to increase the

[03:34] odds that YouTube actually flags your

[03:35] content and says, "Hey, this isn't

[03:37] original content. We're not going to

[03:39] push this out because we already have

[03:40] two creators, three creators, 10

[03:42] creators that have said the same exact

[03:44] thing." That's what you're trying to

[03:45] prevent, especially as YouTube rolls out

[03:47] more and more of their AI systems that

[03:49] are going to be detecting these things

[03:51] and are going to be blocking content

[03:52] that is low quality.

[03:54] Change number three is you need to make

[03:56] sure that you're not only relying on

[03:58] YouTube to push out your content because

[04:00] there's so many other ways for you to

[04:01] actually push out your YouTube channel.

[04:03] And guess what? None of these really

[04:04] require doing that which work. But I do

[04:07] want to warn you, there's a right way to

[04:08] do this, and there is a wrong way to do

[04:10] this. So I want to show you the wrong

[04:12] way, I want to show you the right way,

[04:13] and then I want to show you how I'd

[04:14] actually do this.

[04:16] Okay, so the wrong way for you to

[04:17] promote your YouTube channel is doing

[04:19] what Dr. Jones is doing right here. We

[04:20] could see it has youtube.drjonesdc.

[04:22] This is at the end of his description.

[04:24] This isn't really helping. The other way

[04:26] that would be the wrong way to promote

[04:28] your YouTube channel is if you put a

[04:29] link to a YouTube video in your bio, or

[04:32] if you just put your YouTube channel in

[04:33] your bio. Instead, you want to do what

[04:35] this creator does right here. If we come

[04:37] over into their content, for example,

[04:39] this video right here, we could see in

[04:41] their description they have this right

[04:43] here. "Start at the start here playlist

[04:45] on my YouTube channel, or go to the 100%

[04:49] free course." And then we could see

[04:50] right here, "Search baddie and business

[04:52] torrent." So actually, if we grab this

[04:54] right here, and we come over to YouTube

[04:57] and we do a search for this, here's the

[04:58] experience that we're going to have.

[05:00] When we do this, we're going to see a

[05:02] bunch of their viral videos. We could

[05:04] see that they recently dropped this

[05:05] video. We could click on their channel.

[05:07] We could come over into their playlists,

[05:09] and we could see that they have all

[05:10] these playlists about how to get

[05:11] started, and a ton of people are

[05:13] actually coming to these. In fact,

[05:14] playlists on YouTube don't get a lot of

[05:16] views unless you drive people there. We

[05:18] could see this right here, 14 people

[05:20] every single hour are coming over here

[05:22] and watching this. I know that that

[05:24] doesn't sound like a lot. But if we

[05:25] actually click into this playlist right

[05:27] here, we could see that all of these

[05:29] videos are going viral. And more

[05:31] importantly than going viral, I bet that

[05:33] all of these videos are making this

[05:34] creator a ton of money because she is

[05:37] actually directing people to a very

[05:38] specific place instead of just saying

[05:41] type in my YouTube channel. Because what

[05:43] if other people made content under that

[05:44] or something along the lines of that,

[05:46] they might not actually go to your

[05:48] specific channel. And you want to make

[05:50] sure that they're searching for it, not

[05:51] just going in and trying to find your

[05:53] channel because they might not be able

[05:54] to find it. Now, if you want to make

[05:56] doing this as easy as humanly possible,

[05:58] I would strongly suggest that you use

[06:00] Metricool because Metricool's going to

[06:01] allow you to publish your content to

[06:04] YouTube shorts, Instagram, to Facebook,

[06:06] to TikTok, to almost every single social

[06:07] media platform you could think of, all

[06:09] from one click. On top of that, they're

[06:11] the only platform I've ever used that

[06:13] doesn't actually decrease your views

[06:15] when you schedule out your content. And

[06:17] if you go to the pinned comment below

[06:18] right now, you could get 30 days free

[06:20] access to any of Metricool's premium

[06:21] plans with code Robert. In addition to

[06:24] letting you schedule out content and put

[06:26] content across all these different

[06:27] platforms, they also make it incredibly

[06:29] easy for you to be able to figure out

[06:30] exactly what's trending in your niche,

[06:32] and you could respond to all your

[06:34] comments and all your DMs from all these

[06:35] different platforms from one place, so

[06:37] you never miss a message that your

[06:39] audience sends you. So what are you

[06:40] waiting for? If you want to grow faster

[06:42] on YouTube while spending less time

[06:43] creating content, I would strongly

[06:45] suggest you go to the pinned comment

[06:46] below and get started with Metricool

[06:48] today. Again, use code Robert for 30

[06:50] days free access to any of their premium

[06:52] plans.

[06:53] Now, change number four is you need to

[06:54] make sure that you stop YouTube from

[06:56] auto dubbing your content into any

[06:58] languages that are destroying your

[06:59] views. And I can pretty much guarantee

[07:01] you that this is probably happening on

[07:03] your channel, so you need to make sure

[07:04] that you stop everything right now, see

[07:06] what I'm about to show you, then look

[07:08] into this for yourself. Okay, so in

[07:10] order to actually figure this out, you

[07:11] want to come over into your analytics.

[07:13] From here, you want to click on advanced

[07:15] mode. You're now going to come over into

[07:17] breakdown right here. You're going to

[07:18] click on geography, and this is going to

[07:20] show you who is actually watching your

[07:22] content the most right here. So if we

[07:24] come over here, we could see average

[07:26] view duration 46 seconds. Now, this is

[07:28] including both long-form content and

[07:30] shorts, which is why it's showing so

[07:31] low. But we could see right here that

[07:33] the United States watches my content for

[07:35] 59 seconds. India watches my content for

[07:38] 30 seconds. The Philippines, 38 seconds.

[07:41] And if we scroll down a little bit, we

[07:42] could also see that some other countries

[07:44] are really poor like Nepal or

[07:47] Bangladesh. And I'm not saying poor

[07:48] monetarily, I'm saying poor in terms of

[07:50] watch time. So if we actually come over

[07:52] here, what we're going to notice is if

[07:54] we come over into one of my videos, for

[07:56] example, this video right here, and we

[07:58] come over into languages, we could see

[08:00] right here that we have all of these

[08:03] different audios that my content is

[08:04] being published in Arabic, it's being

[08:06] published in Dutch, it's being published

[08:08] in French, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian. So

[08:12] what I want to make sure that I do is

[08:14] actually want to look at those analytics

[08:15] and see if there are any countries that

[08:17] are really holding things back. Because

[08:19] the last thing that you want to do is

[08:20] have one of these languages turned on.

[08:22] In fact, you could literally just come

[08:23] over here and unpublish it or delete it,

[08:25] and it will stop YouTube from serving

[08:27] content to those people. Because what

[08:29] you don't want to happen is for YouTube

[08:30] to be showing your content to a specific

[08:33] language, it lower your average view

[08:35] duration or lower your click-through

[08:37] rate, and then as a result, YouTube

[08:38] thinks that your video wasn't good, and

[08:40] they stop pushing it out. That is the

[08:42] last thing that you want to happen. So

[08:44] please make sure that you're going

[08:45] through, you're fixing these, and you're

[08:47] adjusting these. Because if you're not,

[08:48] this could silently be holding your

[08:50] content back, and I see this happening

[08:52] to so many people's channels. Change

[08:54] number five is that thumbnails on

[08:55] YouTube are quietly becoming the most

[08:57] important part of you getting views on

[08:59] YouTube. Because here's the deal. In the

[09:00] past, the main thing that required you

[09:03] to get views from a YouTube short was

[09:05] one, that people watch your video past

[09:07] the first three seconds, aka they didn't

[09:09] swipe away, and two, that your average

[09:11] view duration was high. But now we have

[09:13] a problem because YouTube shorts are now

[09:15] getting shown in Google search results,

[09:17] they're getting shown in Gemini, inside

[09:19] of ChatGPT, on the homepage, inside of

[09:22] search. And now guess what? This

[09:24] introduces a new metric that YouTube

[09:26] needs to care about because before

[09:28] somebody ever gets a chance to swipe

[09:30] away from your video or they ever get a

[09:32] chance to watch your video all the way

[09:34] through, they're now going to have to

[09:35] click on your video, which silently made

[09:37] YouTube thumbnails more important than

[09:39] ever before. So I want to show you a few

[09:41] examples of how you can do this

[09:43] correctly. Now, the first example of

[09:45] this that I want to show you is actually

[09:46] going to be looking up something like

[09:48] how to upload a YouTube thumbnail. So we

[09:49] could see right here that all these

[09:50] videos have done pretty well, but this

[09:52] one right here has a custom thumbnail.

[09:54] And look at it, it got 1.4 million

[09:56] views, which is quite frankly almost

[09:58] more views than every single other video

[10:00] here. Reason for that is because they

[10:01] put text here that says how to change

[10:03] your YouTube Shorts thumbnail and they

[10:05] circled it in bright green. That

[10:07] captures people's attention and it makes

[10:09] them think, "Hey, I need to click on

[10:10] this." Now, if we come over here and

[10:12] type in something like YouTube settings,

[10:14] we could see something very similar

[10:15] here. This video right here crushed it.

[10:17] It's actually my video that got 3.3

[10:19] million views because I did the same

[10:20] thing. I pointed with my finger. I have

[10:23] bright red text. This creator right here

[10:25] did something similar, but they're just

[10:26] showing their laptop. And this one right

[10:28] here has Mr. Beast, which is why it did

[10:30] well. And this one right here also

[10:32] pointing their finger, it just wasn't as

[10:34] bright, so you could see that these

[10:36] different types of formats that capture

[10:37] people's attention do lead to people

[10:39] getting more views. And if we come over

[10:41] here, we could see the same thing with

[10:43] squats right here. We have a squat

[10:44] checklist right here. Captures people's

[10:46] attention. We have this woman. Looks

[10:48] like she's not actually squatting

[10:50] correctly and green check mark, which

[10:52] captures people's attention. And then

[10:53] fix your squat mistakes also has this

[10:55] red. So, you can see that the creators

[10:57] that are getting the most views are

[10:59] choosing a very specific frame inside of

[11:02] their content. They're adding in very

[11:04] bright colors. And this is all capturing

[11:06] people's attention to increase the odds

[11:08] that people click on the video. As a

[11:09] result, they watch your video and the

[11:11] YouTube algorithm pushes out your

[11:12] content more. Now, if you enjoyed this

[11:14] video and you don't still have your

[11:16] first 1,000 subscribers on YouTube, I

[11:18] would strongly suggest you check out

[11:19] this video right here that walks you

[11:21] through how you could get 1,000

[11:22] subscribers on YouTube in 24 hours or

[11:24] less. That sounds interesting. I'll see

[11:26] you over there.
