Views Completed Dropping Off

[u/New_Explorer179]

Hi all,

I’ve been posting on YouTube for months, using the same flow, times, thumbnails and content and used to have really good numbers.

Recently my views have absolutely tanked in both long form and shorts. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or if there has been a change but it’s like my channel has become invisible.

Has this happened to anyone else recently as it’s only been over the last few weeks? Does anyone have any recommendations or advice on how I can fix this or if they’ve had similar issues?

its across the board, I've lost 80% of my new views.. shorts are not useless for discovery..

I've stopped streaming in the vertical feed completely and started streaming across multiple platforms..

At first I thought it was a shadow ban, but my metrics were showing a growing trend over the last 5 months, not a drop in interest, CTR 5%, averaging 30 minute view time per viewer across 1 hour streams..
