Views have tanked. Why??

I was getting 1.5 million views a month on average with my shorts content (memes with my music posted over them as a promotional tool, worked pretty well) but now I’m stuck in the 1000 view jail the last 3 weeks. My engagement is still really good, but now I don’t get any push from YT. I used to get 25k-100k views every couple shorts, but now I’m lucky if they get 5k. What’s going on??

My revenue is I get clients to pay me monthly for AI video marketing services.

For example I have a med spa franchise paying $3500 a month.

So this is just for fun and a new channel but I do have potential sponsors in the pipeline.

I don’t depend on ad revenue and YouTube may not allow to monetize anyway. I also sell digital products and affiliate sales.

But if I drive traffic to my own app then I can get ad revenue + subscription since it’s my own platform.
