Massive drop in views on kid channels

[Esra]

there is a problem but youtube said everything is normal. 90% of my channels dropped views.

Does anyone else have this problem? It seems that they gave away all the traffic to just a handful of big channels. How do you even make content anymore when they took all your traffic away?

and look at this channel https://socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UC9jtQtWZMvYdCqmUE02OEoQ
it went from nothing to a lot of views. Who writes these algorithms? What's the reasoning behind it

I'm beginning to see the signs of a very gentle upwards trend in my video views over the past few days after a dire end to last week- today my views have gone up by about 20% again. Nowhere near pre-drop levels, but it's definitely on an upward curve. Fingers crossed this sticks. Anyone else seeing something similar?

I hope when YouTube just shows peppa swine over and over kids will realize they are burnt out and watch something else.

Have you talked to YouTube?

Have you talked to YouTube?

I messaged them via the chat function but got the usual generic answers and they were no help.

Interesting to note that some of my videos have started reappearing in the recommended bar after watching them - I just tried watching on someone else's account and they're back in the sidebar after watching.

Hopefully this is the start of a return to the way things were...

I'll be talking to them today

Let me know what they say...I doubt they'll be any help but fingers crossed this sorts itself out on its own!
