Choosing a YouTube topic is so difficult

Old content already has an audience so returning to that niche is worth testing try a few travel and food uploads and compare engagement with the recent videos there is no need to continue a direction that is causing too much personal stress.

I should start rediscovering my passion for travel. Do you have any places you'd like to recommend? Since 2025, I haven't known which places are currently popular.

I’d consider returning to travel and food if that content was sustainable for you. A niche change can hurt engagement but consistency matters more if the new topic is exhausting.
 
Your health should come first. If the new topic is making the work too stressful, choose a topic you can create regularly without exhausting yourself.
 
I would go back toward travel or food niche specially if the new topic is exhausting you. Your audience was focused towards the old content and youtube recommends a gradual pivot when changing tpics.
 
With 200K subscribers I’d test a return to travel food before fully committing to the new niche The audience already proved they enjoy that content and if the new topic is affecting your health thats another strong reason to reconsider

Hopefully, the followers I had when I was still running my travel blog haven't left yet.
 
You should return to your original topic, as your current followers are interested in food and travel; if you plan to adjust your content or target a different audience, it would be better to start a new channel rather than using the existing one.

I'm so lucky that the number of followers I had from the beginning has stayed with me until now.
 
Changing the niche can affect the channel. If you wanna do something different then try it out on a new channel.
 
You should focus on the new niche so that your audience can enjoy your content or else they will leave your page and your viewership will gradually slow down so it is important to make videos on new niche or content.

My YouTube channel with 200,000 subscribers is experiencing decreased engagement after switching from travel & food content to searching for missing relatives. The search is currently too exhausting and affecting my health. Should I return to my old topic or continue in this new direction?

Return to your old topic. That's the reason that you have low engagement. The algorithm is trying to find the balance on your channel.
 
It's so obivious, you already have audience for travel and food content and they don't watch videos on other topic.. so the engagement dropped. Don't evrer combine two different niche content in a single channel. If the channel already have some audience. You will not only loose engagement but hurting your brand also. try different channel for different niche contents.
