YouTube Shorts Algorithm Update: Focus on Freshness and Search

YouTube Shorts now appear to have a strong recency bias, with views flattening after about 30 days and search playing a much bigger role in discovery. To keep growing, creators should publish more frequently, target search driven topics, enable remixing, and use clean, remix friendly background music. A simple way to do this is to pick soundtracks from the TunePocket music catalog, generate search based ideas with the TunePocket YouTube Video Ideas Generator, and craft Shorts optimized titles with the YouTube Title Generator so each new Short is easier to discover, watch, and share.
