The System Is Killing My Channel!!!
My channel is about 1.5 years old, and I'm in the drawing niche. Everything was going well until around March, when the algorithm suddenly started suppressing my content.
Before that, my videos regularly reached hundreds of thousands or even millions of views (see the pinned videos in the screenshot). Now they're struggling to even reach 10k. Yesterday's upload is sitting at just 2,655 views, which is honestly ridiculous.
The channel has 330k followers and over 7.7 million likes. I've never received a single strike, restriction, or policy violation.
Almost all of my videos qualify for Additional Rewards, with an average RPM of around $1.50 (sometimes up to $5). I'm based in the United States.
I honestly have no idea what happened. It feels like the recommendation system simply stopped pushing my content altogether.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Were you able to recover, or is this just how the algorithm works now?
