YouTube completely killed my video after a few hours, my ctr and avd were doing great, and then my impressions suddenly flatlined.

I go to check why, and YouTube hasn't pushed it at all, the only impressions I got was the new video sitting in the sidebar of my own previous one.

I put a lot of work into this and it really does sting when the algorithm doesn't even give it the time of day. I'd understand a lot more if it was a low effort slop video that got horrible analytics, but it's not the case this time.

Any help / points in the right direction are GREATLY appreciated. I really want to progress on this platform despite feeling cheated by it. And this is the first real learning curve for me.

Included an image of the notes I wrote down as I saw it. The timeframe is just an estimate of when it happened because I wasn't really prioritising what time it was when I saw it, since it was my first time seeing anything like this.

It only lasted a few seconds, but I followed it with my eyes as well as I could, which tells me it wasn't just my eyes seeing things due to looking at one place in the black sky or something like that.

Sorry if the notes aren't too easy to read, I just rushed them so that I wouldn't forget.
