After 8 years on youtube, I guess it is just a normal thing you'll have to face when it comes to growing a youtube channel. sometimes views comes suddenly and sometimes it disappears the same way!

For shorts the video gets out of the "Shorts Feed" for long form videos the videos have not reached the right people and usually YouTube takes time to place that video infront of interested audiences and then ofcourse comes Average view duration and retention time.

This is very similar to a shadow ban; I experienced this on two accounts. Try not posting anything for 7 days; that should help.

Anyone know the reason why this happens. No change in content but very sudden drop in views. Average about 60 and hour a day ago and then suddenly drops to zero ? Is there a way to get past this ?

I believe that you've been shadow banned. You can contact the support and ask them if your account is shadow banned

I totally agree with you, and these are my thought as well about OPs channel.
