VIEWS GONE DOWN A LOT. HELP

YTtalk Mad
I don't know why but for some reason my views have gone down a lot ever since I uploaded my 2015 Favorites video on December 31, 2015. If you look at the screenshots, you can see what I'm talking about and it's super frustrating because i don't know what happened! Can anyone help me? Do you think it's just because I don't upload frequently so subscribers just stopped watching or is it because of something else?

Well seeing how this sudden drop in views is happening, maybe you did something different in that time period or you haven't tried anything truly new and engaging.
Try to maybe advertise your videos on the social media like facebook, twitter and whatever else you use, when you upload a new video.
Try to spite up your thumbnails add more keywords that are accurate for your videos.
Also you might want to work on the video tittle, as they are a be a bit confusing - is it a vlog/story time/sketch/parody.
The rest is pretty much luck and I hope I have provided you with a different point of view that helps you grow.
 
Try checking your analytics to pin point what went down.
[1]Click on the traffic sources
[2]Click on the graph type (I like that type because its easier to see any available changes)
[3]Adjust the time period you want
[4]Observe graph (I don't think you'd need explanation on how to read the graph, yes?)
Maybe with this, you can pin point what made your views go down. Coz youtube is weird, can't help you other than this. Good luck finding the source. ^^

What are the "includes copyrighted content" and "blocked in some countries"?
Are those copyright strikes against your account?
If so, that's the answer to the drop in views. If not, then it's something else.
You had a 3 month gap Mar-Jun. The algorithm probably thought you gave up, so it has no incentive to put your videos in front of viewers.
Your upload frequency is very low, you're not feeding enough into the algorithm. It's a hungry monster that needs new content from you continually. If you give it a little bit here and there, it ain't going to be happy.
BTW, your intro is awesome!!

No I don't have any copyright strikes on my channel, those are just like warnings I guess. But yeah, I assumed it was because I didn't upload enough. I've been uploading a lot more recently cause I'm out of school. And thank you! I'm glad you liked my intro!
 
i think your big problem is not uploading enough, 5 videos in 6 months will mean your subs will forget you exist. try and get an upload done once a week
