If your views drop along with a sudden decrease in impressions, the issue is more likely related to recommendation traffic. If impressions stay roughly the same but views decline, you should take a closer look at your CTR and whether the new video matches your existing audience’s interests.

Yeah, I would start by looking at audience retention and traffic source. Maybe the new people are behaving in a way that is different from what you have observed before.
I don't think you guys understood. The whole channel is getting steady 8k views in total on all videos, shorts to be exact. As soon as i post a new short, ALL videos stop getting views for a couple hours to a couple days. Then it slowly picks up again usually. Never seen this happen before.

What are you posting? Are you using good thumbnails and titles?

Check whether the graph shows total channel views or views on individual videos, then compare impressions and traffic sources before and after each upload. A new video alone shouldn't be assumed to cause the drop, so look for other changes in YouTube Analytics too.
check your impressions analytics before assuming new upload is causing the drop. if impressions fall sharply then youtube recommending your older videos less for some reason while a drop in ctr could point to a different issue.compare same time periods across a few uploads to see if theres a consistent pattern.

You should check the analytics on impressions, retention rates, and traffic sources to compare between videos and accurately identify the cause of the decrease in views.

Are you posting in one niche only, or are you trying many at a time?
