Early traction is usually the platform testing you with new audiences. After that, it tightens distribution and expects stronger signals, mainly retention and watch time, not just views.
If views dropped across multiple posts, it’s rarely a shadowban. More likely your recent videos aren’t holding attention the same way. Even small changes in hook, pacing, or topic framing can cause that.
I’d stick with your niche but experiment with stronger openings, tighter edits, and maybe slightly different angles on the same topics. Don’t take a long break, just iterate.
