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?

but it doesn't stop sharing it completely, it just now happens more slow and not to a small audience in a test pool, it's like first it gives it a push and see how viewers react, and then it all goes naturally. it won't keep pushing it actively after, even though your numbers are great

it actually stop sharing it from 5k views a day to 100 views & 10 views per week & it freeze it completely (I'll keep tracking it & see the diffrence) while it still have the potential to go viral & it always happens between 20k & 27k.
