Guys, have you noticed that videos used to get traffic easily, no matter what you posted, but now it seems like the system isn't pushing them anymore, and views just "die" immediately? Many people's first reaction is: "Did the algorithm change again?"

Actually, that's not entirely the case. YouTube hasn't blocked you - those previous videos just happened to hit the sweet spot for a certain type of audience, so the system automatically recommended your subsequent videos to them. But this group got tired after watching for a while, their interest waned, and naturally, the view count dropped.

It's like you cooked a pot of delicious ramen, and everyone devoured it for a while. But after eating too much, everyone needs a change of taste, right? It's not that the ramen isn't good - it's that the audience's appetite has changed.

So traffic wasn't cut off - it's that this wave of viewers' enthusiasm has passed, and the system is still finding new "foodies" to recommend you to. But during that gap period, it's like the clouds before rain - you feel cold, but it's not that the sun is gone, it's just switching audiences for you.
