Why have my YouTube views suddenly declined from 100+ to significantly less?

I experienced a similar situation where my views plummeted dramatically, but it turned around unexpectedly. I think sometimes YouTube is testing the waters to see if we'll keep pushing out content consistently. If you continue to upload, you might find that your views spike again after a dry spell.

It could definitely be an algorithm issue. When I noticed my views drop, I started to wonder if YouTube's algorithm was affected by my upload frequency. I think the algorithm rewards consistency, but it also seems to react to how engaging your content is. If people aren’t clicking on your videos, that might lead to a decline in views.

For me, I went from averaging 20k views to only getting 1k because I had some violations. This made me think about how YouTube penalizes channels. If your content has received any strikes or violations in the past, that could impact your visibility and, consequently, your views.

When I had a break from uploading videos, I returned with a teaser for my fanmade series. To my surprise, a short coupon code video I posted gained traction quickly while my other content didn’t perform as well. I learned that certain types of videos, like tutorials or coupon codes, tend to get more engagement and can help your channel recover from a slump.
