SEO Title Strategy Not Working Anymore

I primarily focused on optimizing the SEO for the title and left everything else blank. For a few months, this strategy worked really well—one of my channels even hit 30k views per hour ( which got 40k sub within same month ). Since it was successful, I started applying the same approach across my other channels. But now, the title strategy doesn’t seem to work at all. Have you experienced anything like that? I used to fill the title with relevant keywords from the niche, and my uploads would perform great, either on the same day or within a week at most.

Title was look like "Best Police Videos - Police Videos - Cop in Action #1"
I was naming the videos like #1 #2 #3

Without title how it can perform . Of course title has a part.

Do you even understand what I'm saying?

Okay here's a simple example for readers: Imagine you have a video title that works incredibly well for months, consistently driving traffic, but then, out of nowhere, it stops performing like it used to. I suspect YouTube might be banning certain keywords that are overused by spammers. I've used this same title across multiple channels, and it always performed well, with hundreds of thousands of views daily.

Ensure your titles align with the intent behind the keywords. Are users looking for information, products, or solutions?

The keywords I use are directly related to the content, not clickbait. Previously, my videos would quickly appear on the YouTube homepage, which helped me get a lot of views. However, after recent updates, something changed, and now I'm experiencing traffic issues. I'm curious if anyone else is facing the same problem.
