This video explains in detail what a YouTube shadowban is, how to know if your channel is shadow banned, and what you can do to fix it. The creator walks through real channel examples in YouTube Studio, showing how sudden drops in views, impressions and recommendations – even when older videos performed well – can be a strong sign that your channel is under a shadowban. You’ll learn how to read your analytics (impressions, CTR, average view duration), how to test whether your videos still appear in YouTube search, and how to separate a real YouTube shadowban from normal low performance or strategy mistakes. The video also breaks down spam behaviors that trigger YouTube’s community guidelines (self-promotion in comments, sub4sub, replying to hundreds of comments in a short time) and why these can silently limit your reach. Finally, it gives a practical recovery plan: stop spammy activities, follow YouTube rules for at least 28 days, keep uploading quality videos, and properly set up and optimize your channel so your content can start getting recommended again.
