Judging by other threads and other observations, there is currently is a waiting time. Itch is a free service and you get what you pay for. So if your game was put into a queue for inspection, there is basically nothing you can do, but wait and bring it to attention in a few weeks. There were times when waiting time was around 30 days.
The stance of itch is, that you should not depend on itch to promote your game. Being discovered by accident on itch browsing is a trickle of nothingness. Many, many games have zero ratings, developer have almost no followers and so on - despite being indexed for many months.
I think you would do good to promote your youtube channel in the meantime.
