May Algorithm shift?

[Hotvocals]

Any algorithm change? Many of my huge vids with 6m+ views dropped since 1st May in views. The views through suggested videos went down like never before (-60%). I checked the Analytics further and under the "Suggested Video" I lost all the views, so it means my video isn't being suggested anymore, or atleast not that often.

Anyone with the same issue? What could this be related to?

Youtube's algorithm changes on a daily basis I think.

That's not how an algorithm works, not 1 as large as YouTube's ranking algorithm. It'd be hell for the programmers to change it on a daily basis.

Are you sure that it`s not just your main video that lost his most trafficked sources from suggested videos and consequently all your other vids that feeded from it dropped in views?

As that can happen overnight for any video at any given time unfortunately, and yeah, that sucks big time when it happens to one of your greatest hits

I had a smaller drop with the low starting May 2nd, so maybe it was an algorithm shift? I didn't think too much of mine, but I wonder if the change is related to all of the ad issues YouTube has been having lately...[DOUBLEPOST=1494338917,1494338054][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, @Hotvocals, I've merged your thread to this one that is also discussing an algorithm shift. ^_^ We try to keep algorithm shift discussions in one thread when they happen.
