Massive drop in views on kid channels

it seems that nothing is changing. Their stupid algorithm recommends stuff from years ago but newest one dropped out from suggested. it's doing everything opposite.

Views and revenue on my channel have dropped since march 2019. Views on my entire channel are generated by my older videos which I created yers ago. All my recent new uploads ( from March ) have very little views. I do have 100K subs but it feels like on my channel only 5K subs
Im starting loosing an interest in creating new content

I actually feel sorry for the kids in those videos. Using their kids to churn out content every five hours. Look at all that spam in the titles and description. I don't even need to click to know that the content is contrived trash. Oh look, another finger puppet video. SMH.

channel owners have probably discovered a bug. they no longer use the Latin alphabet. I wonder if I should try it? because the algorithm has lost its path

I don't think this is it. Look up "Bob the Train China" on social blade. They dropped huge after July 11.

I have tried editing or completely removing tags on some of my videos, no luck there either.
 
Uploaded a new video today and the compression seems noticeably higher than normal. Even with HD selected, it is soft and pixelated. I had uploaded the video to another channel previously before deleting and moving over and it was defiantly sharper before.

I wonder if this is further punishment for the impacted channels or just a processing glitch? Has anyone else run into this?

I think you figured it out. Your views are down because Google has decided to lower your average watch time by downgrading your video quality. All those kids watching on cheap tablets in 480p just can't stand to watch the over compressed cheap HD video. We sure do live in a paranoid world. lol

Back on a serious note, the reason views are down is very simple. Your videos are not being shown on the regular youtube page or app as much as before (all kids channels are in this same boat). It is instead on youtube kids; however a lot of people don't qualify for youtube kids so overall views are down.You need to look at analytics and see what is being shown on youtube kids vs regular youtube. Social blade can't distinguish between kids and regular youtube.
 
If they are promoting just youtube kids channels this will back fire as billions of views come from normal Youtube.

I have nothing to do with kid channels, but I think I had the same after uploading a video yesterday. On my phone it looked sharp, but on my desktop it looked a lower resolution than normal, even with 1080P selected.
