Your videos don't appear when you search for your exact titles.

Your YouTube Shorts get minimal views while similar content goes viral.
YouTube doesn't tell you - you just notice the analytics plummet.
YouTube (owned by Google) heavily weighs IP reputation. If you're uploading from an IP associated with spam, view bots, or previously banned channels, your content starts with a massive disadvantage in the algorithm.
Google knows every IP range used by NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and other consumer VPNs. These IPs are flagged because they're used by millions - including people running view bots, spam comments, and fake engagement schemes.
YouTube's algorithm assigns trust scores to channels based on many factors - IP is a major one. Low trust means your videos get tested with smaller audiences and rarely break out, no matter how good the content is.
YourVPN gives you a clean IP that YouTube's algorithm trusts. Max 100 users per server keeps your IP pristine.
Get your videos back in suggested and search. Stop losing views to algorithm suppression.
Get your Shorts pushed to the Shorts feed. A clean IP helps the algorithm trust your content.
Live streams and VODs need algorithm love too. Clean IP = better discoverability.
"My videos went from 500 views to 50k after switching. Same content, same thumbnails - just a clean IP. YouTube actually shows my stuff now."
"I was convinced YouTube hated my channel. Turns out my ISP's IP was flagged. New IP with YourVPN and my search rankings recovered in a week."
"My Shorts were DOA - like 200 views max. After switching IPs, my next Short hit 100k. The algorithm actually pushes my content now."
A YouTube shadowban is when YouTube limits your video's distribution without telling you. Your videos won't appear in search, suggested, or subscriber feeds. You can still upload and your subscribers can find you by visiting your channel directly, but the algorithm stops promoting your content.
Check your YouTube Studio analytics. Look at traffic sources - if "Browse features" and "Suggested videos" dropped to near zero while "Direct or unknown" stayed the same, you're likely shadowbanned. Also try searching your exact video title in an incognito window - if it doesn't appear, that's a strong sign.
Absolutely. YouTube (Google) is obsessed with fighting spam and fake engagement. IP reputation is a major signal they use. If your IP is associated with view bots, spam comments, or previously terminated channels, your content will be suppressed regardless of quality.
Yes! Shorts rely heavily on algorithmic distribution - even more than long-form content. If your Shorts aren't getting pushed to the Shorts feed, a clean IP can make a dramatic difference. Many creators see immediate improvement in Shorts performance after switching.
Consumer VPNs like NordVPN have millions of users sharing IPs. Google knows these IP ranges and flags them because they're often used for view manipulation. YourVPN limits each server to 100 verified creators, keeping the IP clean and trusted by YouTube's systems.
