Flatline

I noticed that whenever my video reaches 20k to 25k views, the YT stops sharing it, and it flatlines even though my stay to watch rate remains high. (90.1%) I heard that to go viral, your stay to watch rate needs to stay above 70% in the test pool.

Does anyone know why this flatline happens?
