Sudden Drop in Impressions and Views

[Unregistered00]

Bought a monetized channel and publsihed 2 videos that are spaced 2 days apart. 1st video got around 10k views before going down after 48 hours. 2nd video got 5k views, having an average of 300 views per hour then on the 24th hour it suddenly dropped to 80-90% less views. Can barely get 20-40 views per hour for the whole channel after that. After 2 days I uploaded a new video. Hardly generates any views. In the past 48 hours the third video has 50 views. All the views from 3 videos are being distributed to around 20-40 views per hour. The channel was only 4 days old before the the sudden drop of the views and impressions happened. Today is the 8th day. All videos even the new one has around 7-10% CTR to this day.

No copyright strikes, no demonetization, new device, new ip, and new adsense which was just verified and I was notified that they have just sent the pin number before the sudden drop happened.

Based on the analytics, the 3 videos are only generating around 5k impressions per day after the drop until today.

I searched on Youtube and my videos are there except that you really have to scroll down.

The possible mistakes that I probably did was turn off the phone quite a few times during those past few days which has most likely changed the ip address. No device changes have been made.

Is there still hope for this channel or should I just move on?

these are algorithm cycles or generally referred to by many people as a "shadowban". this is a phase where your account gets a reach limitation.
in some cases it's just temporary before you start getting views again. in other cases it can last longer, around 3 to 6 months before the ban is lifted.
if your content is low quality or uses spam tactics, it can fall into the same jail too.

in some cases, shortly before you get demonetized, your views can suddenly drop the same way (around 3 to 7 days prior to getting demonetized & this is something i've experienced multiple times).

you need to keep posting for a while, to test if your views could go back up, or you can simply switch to another channel and continue.

Are the new videos posted AI videos?

Should I delete the 3 latest videos and/or the channel itself before the Adsense pin number arrives? The reason for this is if/when the channel gets demonetized there will be a footprint of this demonetization on the new Adsense account. My concern for deleting the channel and/or videos is that the Adsense account might get screwed.

you have multiple options:

1. wait until you get the adsense pin > delete the shadowbanned channel and create a new channel > get the newly created channel monetized > then attach the newly created channel to your pin verified adsense account.
2. buy a new monetized channel (dont connect to adsense yet) > delete the shadowbanned channel > connect the newly purchased channel immediately to this adsense.
3. post more content to the shadowbanned channel around 30 videos (1 video upload per day), to test if there is any reach limitation on the channel. after testing that, if there is still low reach, then you can approximately confirm that the channel is shadowbanned.
4. if you have confirmed from "step 3", that your channel is shadowbanned, then you can also unshadowban it if you are willing to wait. you need to rest the channel for 3 months and not do anything on it > no content uploads > no community posts > no commenting with that account > don't touch the account at all > don't even enter it > leave it as it is > return after 3 to 4 months and the shadowban will be lifted > now you post some content and your reach will return soon, either immediately or in a few weeks.
Remember that the success rate of "step 4" will still depend on your content. if your content is of poor quality or not the trending type, then don't expect to get a lot of views either.

On Option 2 (buy a monetized channel), should I wait for the adsense pin to arrive first before deleting the shadow banned channel then connecting it to a purchased monetized channel?

better to wait, although i think there won't be an issue even if you delete before it arrives.
