Guys, I need help!

I have started a YouTube channel, and it was working well. I got a copyright strike and sorted it out, but I think YouTube is putting down my channel because I was getting 10k, 20k, 30k views on videos in the first 12 hours, and now I just get 10, 20 views, not more than that. Even though it's been 5 months since that strike, my channel is not giving the same results.

i wouldnt assume the old strike is still the reason after 5 months.

first thing i'd compare is impressions, ctr, average view duration and traffic source on the old 10k-30k videos vs the new ones. if impressions collapsed but ctr/retention stayed similar, thats very different from youtube still testing the videos but viewers dropping off.

also since you're doing dragon ball AI + some official clips, i'd look closely at how original each upload really is. i'd test a few completely original videos with no reused footage and see if the distribution changes before deciding the whole channel is suppressed.
 
Your suspension affects the reputation and reach of that account, so continuing to operate and regaining your original viewership requires time and effort invested in content. Furthermore, the competition among live streaming videos has become much more intense and challenging recently, so you need to consider many aspects.

Thank you so very much for your insights. It can really be helpful. I'll try it and see if there is a difference.

This usually happens once the channel has got copyright strikes, youtube shadow bans it for a while. The safest thing to do now is reduce your daily uploads and rest the channel, the channel will be back to its earlier perfomance after a couple of months. Instead of what you can do now is start a new channel and grow that side by side with this one. Make sure you follow isolation method and in no way teh new channel is linked to this one.
 
look at where the drop happened if browse and suggested collapsed while search stayed similar that tells you a lot.
 
YouTube does not intentionally suppress engagement permanently or "shadowban" a channel because of a copyright warning that was resolved 5 months ago.

Sure, I wouldn’t assume that an old copyrigt dispute is holding the channel back any more. First of all, I would check the current statistics such as impressions, CTR, retention and traffic sources.
 
I don't think the old strike is still killing reach after 5 months. Check Impressions and CTR first since that will show if YouTube stopped pushing the videos or people just stopped clicking.

traffic source split post strike; if Browse or suggested is down but search traffic is still gud then you knows more than just viewing stats, tbh
 
Even though the issue has been resolved, the consequences remain. Ytb system may have flagged an error and stopped recommending your videos. You should consult an expert to explore other solutions.

the shadow flag in the channel fingerprint will hanged around long after the strike date anyway, so it’s better to get a new aged channel than try to resurrect an old one.
 
I think your channel has been placed on YouTube non recommended list. You should submit an appeal to resolve this.
 
Before assuming it’s a shadowban, check YouTube Studio and see if the channel or videos still show any active copyright or restriction issues. If nothing is there, compare the old and new video analytics instead.
 
A strike can hurt for a while but after fiive months its hard to say thats still causing the problem check if the new videos are getting impresions but no clicks or if youtube isnt showng them at all that will tell where the problem is before makiing any big changes
