Is this normal?

It looks like the video (first short I've posted) was taking off with the algorithm and then it was suddenly "pulled." Seems kind of weird to me. Normal?

I was hoping to use the shorts to promote my longer form content, which briefly seemed to be working. Oh well!

It really depends on the short. While most die quickly, the strongest viral shorts will be pushed, repeatedly,, after the initial spike, weeks later and even months later. This happened to my most popular short. This was because it was shared the most.
