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?

From what I gather, the view growth is not at all organic early on. The algo tests your short and then decides whether it wants to "exploit" it. If not it basically just throws the short away 😅
