I've asked some YouTube mentors for help and most have said that it's possible I'm shadowbanned. They told me how a friend had a similar situation to them, and just asked YouTube support if they were shadowbanned, and suddenly, the low views went back to 3-4k. Around 5 months ago, my views suddenly dropped from 100-300 views to less than 10. Now I'm only averaging ~10 views, despite my content getting better. I'm not using this as an excuse for low views because this sudden drop happened even though I kept my video format/style the same. I've also only improved my videos since then, and when I share them on other platforms & with others, I get better engagement. So, audience interest isn't the issue. I know what my target audience is, and when I post videos in communities that include them, those videos get triple the views (meaning that my target audience does exist and does enjoy my videos). Here's the channel link: https://youtube.com/@aathraey Since I've been posting for 2 years, I've expected my views to at least increase and not decrease. And once again, this isn't an excuse. I know I have a lot to improve. But at the same time, this does seem unusual. It makes sense that views wouldn't increase... but views decreasing... and decreasing by 20x is quite unusual. So I'll keep improving on YT, but if YT just won't promote it, how can I fix that shadowban? Any ideas are helpful.

I'm currently working to get my ideas to more people. They seem to be having some good impact in other communities, but how could I improve them on YT? Hit me up with some advice.
