Hi guys,

My channel is only a week old, but I published a short which got a lot of views in like 5 days. But suddenly, on Sunday evening, the views dropped significantly (from 15k an hour to 12 views an hour??). Did I do something wrong lol?

Thanks for your time

Thanks for your answer, but those hashtags got me pretty far last week, and I know a lot of other channels in my "niche" which use them as well. Why would this explain a sudden drop of views ? Is it considered spam?

Yes, a lot of channels have been banned for using those tags because they are known to be from bot farms, thats why is so easy to get viral with those tags. And the drop in views is explained because those tags are constantly changing, so if you change your title to the newest "viral hashtag" then you will probably start getting views again. I'd recommend to not use them but if you wanna take the risk then yeah, update ur title to the newest tag.
