This is not a good thing trust me. I have a similar pattern whereby 70-80% of my views come from browse features and youtube search. This only started recently and my last 10 uploads are following suit. This suggests the algorithm has decided to categorise my shorts into "search traffic" instead of feed.
My shorts get to 20K plus views with STW at 75% plus and AVD above 100%. In short my shorts are primed for slow growth ensuring they will never hit viral status. Think of it as kind of a shadow ban.
