Why did the YouTube algorithm stop pushing my video out?

[Anonymous]

I made my first YouTube video since 2016 two weeks ago. After tweaking the title and adding hashtags and everything I received 7.3k views in a week. But over the last week the views are stuck on 7.3. I googled it and they said they could stop pushing out the video because it might not be what people want to see but I received 100plus likes had 12 comments. This is the YouTube channel that I watch videos on and make comments on. Could the content that I watch me cursing in my comments cause them to stop pushing the video? I know I can google it but I asked the question on here because maybe I can receive comments from people who are active YouTubers and can feel me in on more specific details.

Youtube stops promoting normal videos when they are no longer brand new. I do not make videos on YouTube but I know this fact cause there are people that will repost a rotation of 8-16 videos 10 years old every day of the week 366 days a year. Without recent postings, YouTube will stop endorsing recent views. The only exception are super popular videos that have millions of views.

Who knows for sure?

I do know YouTube prioritizes videos that keep viewers engaged for longer durations.

Youtube doesn't care about YOUR statistics. Just theirs, and they will never tell you what that means.

You need to either pay for advertising, or your channel needs to produce more engaging content.
