  1. Louis, could you please investigate further in 2 weeks or a month from now about this? I would love follow ups on this. I feel this important. I remember watching channels years ago that got millions of views, and at some point they stagnated sub growth but even with sub growth they dipped to the thousands of views per video only. Especially gaming related channels. And if my mind works not too badly, I think it was especially after the whole Adpocalypse debacle. I think this is just the chain that keeps on getting links, since years ago. I can't confirm, but would love to know if these channels specifically are going to start having these things pop up in their dashboard. Meaning, channels that are "specifically hurt by the algo whether on purpose or random" and are pulling "low views". Or channels that could have a margin of views too large between videos, for example, one video is 50k views and the next 250k, and the next 60k and the next after 160k and so on and forth. In this case, you only showcased one example, and if I saw correctly his dip in views happened on videos from years ago, which leads me to believe that for whatever reason, he's one of the victims of one of the several "adpocalypsis" we've had so far. As a mod of a small content creator (who thankfully doesn't do it full time if this goes worse), I am worried. He's been at it for a decade and only recently started growing. But hit randomly with the recent "invalid traffic" debacle, which was very demoralizing and also has setup a bit of fear (understandably so). It would be nice if you could follow this video with a part 2 or something on if this is happening to other creators and to see which ones and maybe see if there's a pattern on the type of channel (size, growth, views, content, etc.)
