Lately, I have noticed that some channels on YouTube are buying fake likes and comments. I have been monitoring this for months, and many channels are using this method to gain thousands of subscribers. If YouTube was effectively preventing this, then why are these channels still growing without any issues?


Additionally, thousands of channels are using completely unrelated titles for their live streams to manipulate the system. They keep recycling the same content, yet they continue to appear in recommendations.


Meanwhile, I have been live streaming and creating original content, but I never engage in such practices. Despite my efforts, my channel has been in decline for the past four months. I have been a content creator for seven years, and I have never experienced such a drastic drop before.


At first, I thought my content had lost popularity, but I see other channels producing similar content without facing the same decline. My analytics show that my channel, which used to get 50K daily views, suddenly dropped to just 1K per day. Such an extreme drop cannot simply be due to a loss of interest in my content. I have experimented with different types of videos, including Shorts, but nothing seems to work. My live streams and regular videos are barely appearing in recommendations, and my impressions are significantly lower than before.


I have tried using Google Ads, created social media accounts, and brought traffic from other platforms, yet my channel continues to decline as if it has been blacklisted.


Now, I can’t even earn $1 a day from my channel, which has 920K subscribers and gained 100K subscribers in the past year through regular videos. It feels like I’ve reached a dead end.


The new algorithm seems to favor smaller channels, but at the same time, it has completely destroyed many larger ones. Content creators who have been doing this for years consider it their profession, especially since producing an animation video requires working 10 hours a day.


The lack of fairness and not receiving the rewards for my hard work is exhausting. YouTube could at least provide a $100 monthly bonus for long-time creators who remain active.


If they want more competition, here it is. The channel in the image below is an example. It is not me What are your thoughts?

I've noticed that, in my case, the videos YouTube promotes the most are the ones with higher retention. How has your retention been on your channel lately? Has it dropped?
 
Yeah that is youtube, penalize the hard working channels and promote the spam cheesy content channels.

It’s a small drop, but the fact that such a sudden decrease has occurred really shocked me.

it is commen case with non-famous youtubers, what does matters for youtube growth, there are some multiple factor which works for my fellows:

2. write thumbnail.
3. title, description seo.
4. monthly off-page seo
5. Aligning your content with trend of any country, thanks.

Yes, I'm not a famous YouTuber, I make animations, and no one knows my face or identity; they only watch the scripts and content I create. I’ve tried SEO in my content, even experimented with thumbnails in different styles and shapes, but none of these worked. Of course, I would appreciate your help. Even though I’ve been creating content for a long time, I can never imply that I know everything, as there are things I don’t know.
 
There’s apps out there for iOS & Android that are promoting and offering high retention views along with comments and subscribing, but you have to do ‘tasks’ as in doing the same for the others who are doing it for you. I don’t need to use these apps because your complaint of smaller YouTubers succeeding as of lately is honestly 10000% correct. I receive over 100k views easily and I only have 1.5k subscribers. I still use the apps though, just to blast a video out quicker and get YouTube’s algorithm to pick it up but I sign in through the apps browser on YouTube with a spam Google account to not lose my YouTube channel or make it look desperate/shady lol. But yeah, what you’re showing, with all the BS AI channels popping up and such, I see it all over these apps and these apps also allow an ‘auto play’ feature so you don’t even have to standby your phone to do said tasks. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I SAY IM NOT PROMOTING ANYTHING. Just stating facts/what I’ve experienced/seen/used… ie!

Its difficult to say without not knowing your channel and not even your niche. How often do you upload, duration of the videos, CTR and retention etc.

It just may be cyclical bad/good luck waves.

Thanks for the information! I want to try these out by starting a new channel myself. Could you tell me the name of the app? I need it, or at least I’d like to try and see if it works or not I sent you a private message, you can reply there as well.
 
Try spamming your videos url's with parasite backlinks and see how it goes.
It won't cost much, and maybe G+YT SEO can help you with it.
