Thats good to see, perhaps they are manually reviewing them again. I see cocomelom took a big hit , well, its still X2 from where it was but down considerably. There is still hope ! Thanks

The last big drop for me occurred around July 7th...and I just want to report that my views yesterday ( friday ) were up 30% from the last 3 Fridays, but my average Friday views before the drop was around 40K a day , so there is a way to go yet . But there were other big drops before that date. I peaked at 400K views in 1 day back in 2014...that was around the time they opened the flood gates and my channel has been dropping ever since. It would be nice to get a breakout !

not all channels spiked. I wonder if it is a manual review or the algorithm found something it likes in some videos

Yeah, I see some channels took off and some dropped ...as far as my channel goes I experienced a 20% increase in views Saturday week over week, with an average of the past 4 weeks. It wasn't significant , and not the breakout I was hoping for, maybe the are doing them manually, or as someone suggested a tweak to the algo helped some and not others....has anyone here noticed any changes to their channel overnight >

maybe they realized a mistake giving all the traffic to just a handful of channels and therefore reducing the competition to create new good content . Cocomelon was eating up lots of traffic for sure

In the last few days, there was a slight rise.

But, 5 hours ago, the number of my views has dropped by 50%.

Has anyone notice any changes?

My views have increased 50% on average since Friday, based on daily on average over the past month. Things normally drop off at night, so maybe things will be up for you in the morning. It is 6:30 am here and my views are double where they were last Monday at 6:30 am.. There are a lot of different videos in my top 25 , but that is only because my top 25 doesn't have any high volume videos , like some with 4 views per hour or 6 o 8 vph, not a lot of views. cocomelon is back to where they were before the change, and some channels dropped a lot, but others have returned to pre-change normal .Please post your observations. thanks.

The problem with our channel is that new uploads have no chance to be successful. For August, we have had 5.8 million views on the Kids App and only 650,000 through main Youtube. The majority of the views on main Youtube come from two videos that appeals to kids, teens, and adults. When we post a new upload, the majority of the content only appeals to kids and since the new upload can only be suggested on regular Youtube, it gets buried because no one clicks the thumbnail.. The 5.8 million viewers on the kids app will never see a new upload because new videos don't go straight into the kids app. It has to do well on main Youtube and be identified by some secret algorithm before it goes to the kids app. This is a huge flaw in the system. Since July, we have gone from 30% of views through kids app to almost 90% views on kids app. I am pretty sure Google has intentionally done this. This also means very little revenue, but we are actually fine with that part.

I lost 90% of ,my views on the kids app back around January 2018 , dropped like a rock. they used to be there , I was told by partner support 660 of my videos were on the kids app platform. As of July 7th, 100% of my views stopped coming from the kids app. All ,y views now come from the regular youtube pages, with only 40% coming from suggested . It used to be around 80% . My views are up 50% as I said yesterday compared to daily totals the last 30 days. Some channels still gettign hit, others taking off ..look :
