Does "giveaway" in your title get your video ranked lower?

So my most recent video has peaked and faded. The video is of me making a custom handmade knife from start to finish. From the planning stages, I was going to give the knife away to one of my subscribers in a random drawing. I did not put the word "giveaway in the title because I was concerned it would negatively effect my watch time; I wanted people who were interested in what I do and would watch my content. I did put "Win this knife" on my thumbnail. Last night, I decided to see what would happen if I added the word "giveaway" to my title. I went from getting 1-3 views per hour to none! Not one view in the last 12 hours.

I am wondering if there are certain words that get your videos pushed down in the ranking for searches?
