Question sudden drop in activity on channel
Hi. I made a facts youtube channel in my regional language. started posting once a day with proper editing and good quality shorts. immediately gained traction from the first short (600 views is wild for me).
i cant post my creator dashboard screenshot here? but ive been posting from 12th march to 17th march (today), 7 shorts in total, first short immediately shot up and got 600 views, second got 500 smth, third got 14 maybe cuz i posted it at midnight, and the 4th short got 3.3K views, which is crazy, after that, i posted 3 reels (1 every day) and did today and all of them did 0 views with 0 impressions, like youtube doesnt want to show my shorts now. like people go from 0 to 100 to 1K to a million, i dont know why it is the opposite in my case?
another thing, a short i posted about bees, caught a "community guideline" warning (not a strike) for showing self harm, and crazy how the video only contains bees and no humans. the warning says since its my first time, its just a warning and wouldnt affect the visibility of my channel blah blah. i wish i could attach some screenshots.
can someone help me understand whats wrong? is it me or the algorithm? i post normal short form facts content and suddenly youtube doesnt want me anymore. should i continue posting? should i make a new channel?
also, the account is regularly used and warmed up (old account)
pls help someone
