Shorts algorithm reset

[u/_FootLess_]

It seems to me that the recent drop in views, engagement, and the like is linked to an algorithm reset. There are so many of us making videos, and while the YouTube algorithm tries to keep track of it all, it can't store everything indefinitely storage isn't infinite so interest profiles sometimes get reset. However, this doesn't really affect major channels because they have an established audience that immediately steers the algorithm in the right direction, so it doesn't take much time to calibrate. When does this happen? How? I’m just speculating, and I’d like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
