Oh no. One day off is not an issue at all.

This is good.

I think you should keep uploading new videos regularly.

Try to copy title, tags and hash tags of the trending videos in your category. Check after a week or two.

Ya sure, thank you.
 
Are you reusing content from other platforms and posting it as shorts?

Really? deleting videos help to recover?

No. what I mean is, did you delete videos recently in your channel, because it might be the cause of that sudden drop of your channel. I have a channel once, I deleted the old videos preparing to apply for monetization and thats exactly what happen to my channel.

No, I didint delete any videos and i never do it, because i already had some bitter experience due to deleting old videos on my other channel.
 
Did you break any YouTube rule and got an email from them for this purpose?
 
If the initial videos do not perform well, this can cause this. They shadowban the channel.

Hi, I created a channel 3 months ago and started posting some content. It slowly started to grow, but suddenly the views dropped by almost 95%. I didn't try any black hat methods.

This channel was created using the same email ID that has one more channel (different niche).

My questions are:

  1. Is it temporary or permanent?
  2. Will uploading new content help to recover?
  3. Why did the sudden drop happen? Is there any specific reason?
  4. Should I continue with this channel?

I need help from experts, please.

Thank you

there are multiple layers of potential problems that could be identified in this scenario and explain the cause.
it is possible that this can be a shadowban. by a shadowban, it does not necessarily refer to a "complete lack of visibility" , it can also refer to a huge percentage of drop in traffic, like you are experiencing.

so to summarize i would refer to this as "algorithm cycles" or a "shadowban" .


to decode what might be happening here, lets lay out a list of possible reasons that could have lead to this:

1. algorithm cycles/drop in views, which can happen due to more competitors entering the niche, and mass spamming with multiple channels.
this will effectively reduce your views unless your quality is unique.
so to battle this, you can keep making more channels yourself and post the same type of content.
youtube gives a boost to freshly made channels.

2. it could be that you violated something that none of us are aware about and you aren't being honest about it. (i'm not saying you did it).

3. it could be that your channel's content does not meet the "quality standards" that youtube is expecting and during a manual human review, they may have flagged your channel as "spam" or "low quality" , and limited its reach.
you mentioned that you were using "stock videos" , in one of the replies here. this could put your channel into the "low quality" category.
this is because stock footage is considered as "re-used/repost" content, which you don't own.
the days of easy repost content spam is over. you can get flagged.
youtube keeps running periodic reviews on channels to battle spam.

this is an example where youtube has accepted, limiting the reach of content:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PartneredYoutube/comments/115gdcg

4. if you botted or did anything blackhat, they could potentially limit you, and that is determined by the quality of the service or bot you are using.
since you said you haven't done anything blackhat, but i may take a reference from your original post which talked about this being another channel of yours.
if you run multiple channels on the same ip/device/email, expect to get limited as-well.
they can flag you for spam and limit your reach.
if it was that easy to scale, everyone would easily be able to make 100's of channels using the same ip/device/email and mass produce the same content type, publish them across all the channels and become millionaires.
 
that is absolutely not natural, the only exception is if one of your big performing videos got demonetized or flagged, then consequently all stats go down drastically

This gets me thinking if it's possible to attack someone's channel or page if someone really wanted to go out of their way to cause harm. I could imagine someone evil plotting against a successful page and doing some kind of bot attack in hopes of crushing the channel. Man. It's crazy out there.
 
Did you take a break in between ? I have seen big channels also getting affected because of lack of consistency .
