YouTube Algorithm Update 2025 – Why Small Channels Are Losing Views!

🚨 Why the YouTube Algorithm is Failing Small Channels in 2025 🚨

If you've noticed a sharp drop in views on your YouTube videos since February 2025, you're not alone. As a content creator on HappyTriggerFinger, I’ve seen my views go from thousands to barely breaking 10. Why? The YouTube algorithm has changed, and it's impacting smaller channels in a big way.

What’s going on?
📉 YouTube's new algorithm update now prioritizes specific types of content over others, and it has misclassified my channel as a Sonic-focused channel. Even though I create a range of gaming content, including FPS, looter shooters, and single-player games, the algorithm refuses to push anything unless it’s Sonic-related.

As a result, the YouTube algorithm has stopped recommending my videos to a wider audience, affecting my ability to grow and reach new viewers. This is a huge issue for many creators—especially those with more niche gaming channels or who create a variety of content.

The YouTube Algorithm's Impact on Small Creators
The February 2025 update has made it harder for smaller channels to succeed. Instead of showcasing diverse content, the algorithm seems to be locking channels into a specific genre or category. It’s tough for creators to break out of this cycle when the algorithm only supports one style of content. This is seriously affecting channels like mine that offer a variety of gaming experiences.

In this video, I explain the reasons behind the decline in views and why YouTube's algorithm is broken for creators trying to diversify their content. I dive deep into the changes and struggles that smaller YouTube channels face in 2025.
