CREATORS: Many have had their channels stop growing lately in terms of subs. Essentially, NEW people are not finding your content & suggested has plummeted. You may still get views but from your core/sub audience. My observation/theory points towards a channel age pattern.

If your channel was created at X date/year then you are experiencing this issue. If you created your channel after X time, then you are not having issues with suggested/growth. The cut off is the thing I cannot identify so I need your help. More on that later...

Examples of this issue:
@PhillyD Massive amounts of views from core. Low sub growth. Doesn't make sense. ('06)@vidIQ low views & subs outside of Pewds videos, maybe from search? (plz confirm) ('13) There are others that I could point out a high view/low sub conversion.pic.twitter.com/LdwvDx2TN1

I don't want to point out more people, as that can get weird/uncomfortable. I tagged two that I think would be interested & respond well to it. Start looking at channels that are older & look at their views/subs. It needs to be confirmed, but high views+low subs = no suggested.

If that is true, then the question is whether or not my theory about channel creation date being the main pattern for when suggested dies off and the channel is just surviving off of the core audience. Also, BRAND RECOGNITION can still cause growth, ex. VidIQ.

SO HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP. If you are experiencing a kind of "death spiral" and you are not getting views from NEW people/not getting suggested, and/or you see that your view/sub ratio is crazy low, can you put the year of your channel creation as a reply?

Let's see if the theory has merit, or if I'm just way off (it's possible, but that's why we theorize and test). Hopefully, this can help others out and maybe address a bug with the

I don't have an old channel by any stretch of the imagination but I can definitely see that something happened in late July. Overnight I went from 30% browse 30% Search 25% Suggested to 45% search 15% browse 10% suggested Which sucks because I find searchers watch less.

The media has attacked YT publicly and pushed the narrative that YT algorithm is radicalizing ppl and blamed them for elections and mass violence world wide... In addition to the kids programming issues, it seems they made a shift. I also know they were in a shift during Vidcon

I think we're talking about something different though. We're talking about older channels having that change while newer channels not having that change. What makes them all get the shift towards search over suggested if they were created before X date?
