Youtube flagged me?

Hi,

i opened a youtube channel 5 months ago. i saw an oportunity because i realised that a niche of videos was exploding! so i made a video uploaded it and made 550.000 Views, second video 30k, third video 250k views.
i just bought 1000 suggested views from related videos off of a smm page to give it a starting boost, after this the videos went viral. then i had to stop making videos like this because i started shiftworking in a new company and i put all my effort into this job. however, 5 months later i now realised that i was dumb not to continue with those videos. i still have my job but everything gets less stressful and everything is working fine. now i decided to do videos like this again on that channel (got 720 subscribers in that time, all organic). i uploaded 4 videos in the last 7 days. videos exactly like the ones i made before. i made exactly the same thing, just new and even better. unfortunately i dont get much likes or views from them. i also boosted them with 1k to 5k views from suggested videos but no comments or viral expressions on the videos. so, do you think youtube might have flagged me due to inactivity for 3 months? i dont know what i could do to boost the channel organically to get as much organic views as i got in the past. does anyone have a hint for me how i should proceed?

Yes, YouTube is really strict and punishes you for not uploading. You need to start uploading regularly or create a new channel. Otherwise it will be less likely that YouTube is going to promote your videos.

you havent mentioned much about the video niche, maybe it is a trend that is phased out or a seasonal thing.

trend still working crazy. i see videos of similar channels with 1k subs which have 100k views 1 day after upload
niche is about bodybuilding, fitness, mostly "zyzz" videos and clips

how likely is it, that youtube promotes the same channel again when i upload daily? is there a "known" period of time when youtube reactivates promotion?

Couldn't name you a specific timeframe. It also depends on the engagement, retention and CTR of your videos. I assume most of your subscribers won't even see your videos in your inbox anymore.

No it isnt. How do you think Greg Doucette and MPMD really took off? They have talked about it in their vids before.

Pumping out new content everyday or a lot of the time 2 vids a day. Once they got some traction they backed off back to 1. You dont have to pump out 2 every single day like a robot. But I would consider it for a little while or break it up. This week 2 a day next couple weeks just one. Rinse repeat.

Upload new videos regularly. After a while, your audience should remember you and your videos will start showing up in their recommendations. Then YouTube will start recommending it to more people. It just takes patience and constant posting of videos. I wouldn't advise releasing videos as often as the commenters above suggest. YouTube is not a platform that needs that much frequency, it's not Tik Tok.

You have just restart publish, don't worry the algorithm will notice you soon, just publish continuously

From which panel your bought suggested views from related videos mate?

Sounds like u had a good channel to get that many views off the bat... alil jealous lol... Have you tried cutting them down into shorts? post some here and there for activity then post a large video... Tiktok has been the only thing i noticed u can't take a break on at all smh... but dnt feel down brother cause thats social media for you... it can be up and down at times or burn u out... U did the right thing to focus on work life first, true stability, now u can have fun doing whatever online with no worries if it doesn't work out as exponentially as before .

YouTube wants you to be regular. Inactive content creators are punished by YouTube.
