Dropped views by 95% [Urgent Help]

One day is nothing, wait for several days, for example. They can change their algorithms or something similar.

So I have a 2 week old channel with a 6 videos on it. In 2 weeks I was able to hit 150,000 views with almost all videos being suggested bringing in over 1.5k views per hour. Then last night I posted a new video and all of the sudden everything was abruptly cut off. Meaning all of my videos just stopped getting views at the same time, like I've been kicked out of the algo. I am still getting some views from browser feeds but it's very minimal. The metrics on all of my videos have over 10% click through rate and watch time is over 50%. The new video was doing well with over 25% CTR and 300 views really long watch time but it was cut off as well within an hour.

Now my channel is getting about 15 views per hour. I've contacted youtube over on Twitter and they messaged me that sometimes they freeze channels and reduce views to do a channel check for invalid clicks/subs. However, I've seen this reply on some other comments and I feel like they copy + paste the message and they most likely didn't even check my channel.

What do you guys think happened? Is it true what they say? The niche is very hot, the trend definitely didn't wear off as many of my competitors are killing it right now, the video production is good. I've already built a good following with lots of people commenting, rewatching, coming back but now I've hit a wall.

Probably shadow banned

Have you created the video content from scratch ( original content) or reused some content?

Any referral links in description?

Voice over on content in fair use with stock videos also from pexels.

If it's Completely white hat, your own content, original VO, then just give it a few days, it might be the niche also.

The niche is hot, and it's not crowded yet, only 2-3 channels doing it but they are getting millions of views. All of their new videos get up to around 300k - 400k.

Keep posting videos, OP. It might get back to normal. I don't see any reason why they would shadowban it. Maybe what they said on twitter is true, even tho it sounds like an automated reply. Also sometimes youtube can throttle your views (for example if you have a viral video and post another one on the same topic, the first video will stop getting views, I know that from experience).
If your channel is only 2 weeks old and the niche is hot, try to switch to another account. I milk one account until it either gets banned or stops getting traffic then switch to another account and repeat but I do CPA so I dont care about accounts. Again, from my exprience if you already have a video that's bringing a lot of traffic from one niche and then upload other videos on the same exact niche, youtube will throttle your views. Best way to rank / get traffic on the same niche is to target it from multiple accounts.

Thanks, I posted one more video last night. Bought 40 gmail accounts set up channels and warmed them up. I started watching that last video with the accounts and then all views returned to all videos except for the one I posted 2 days before that killed everything off. I think there was something really wrong that with video that threw everything off, but hopefully everything is back to normal.

Keep sending mails to YouTube till they give a real reply. Only they can explain actual cause.

I did, but only got boilerplate responses. The issue is fixed for now.

Or maybe YTB is out of favor for old channels???

It has happened to me before. And the views came to normal on its own. Hope the same happens for you as well.
