Has anyone here actually recovered from what felt like a YouTube shadow ban or the algorithm just completely stopping pushing your videos?

My channel was consistently doing 1M–2M+ views a month, then suddenly impressions/views dropped hard even though CTR and retention didn’t collapse. Curious if anyone else went through this.

How long did it take to recover?
Did you change anything (titles, upload frequency, topics, thumbnails, deleting videos, etc.) or did it just randomly fix itself over time?
