I’m a YouTube creator who experienced a sudden, massive drop in views across every video on my channel all at the exact same time. This wasn’t a gradual decline or related to one specific video; it was an abrupt shift where every single video, old and new, lost traction immediately.
Before this happened, my videos regularly received between 50,000 and 100,000 views each and some even exceeded that. I had a consistent audience and strong engagement. But now, when I upload, videos barely break 100 views, regardless of title, topic, or thumbnail.
To make things worse, older videos that were consistently getting traffic also completely flatlined overnight some dropping from thousands of views per day to zero. That type of uniform drop isn’t normal or explained by audience fluctuation.
I reached out to YouTube Support multiple times and got responses from several reps. They’ve told me:
There’s no shadowban or restriction on my channel.
Their internal team has reviewed it and sees “no issue.”
The view drop might be due to me deleting a batch of videos, which they claim may have affected Browse and Suggested traffic.
That I should just focus on content strategy and audience signals going forward.
We offer a 30-day guarantee for your peace of mind. In the rare event that a video reappears within 30 days of removal, we’ll take it down again at no extra cost, or issue a full refund.
That said, 99.9% of our cases have remained permanently removed, with no reappearances to date.
