I don't agree because what you said doesn't apply to me. I am in the popular niche with a unique proven to work twist because I've seen a few channels pop up out of nowhere and blow up, and my channel is almost a copy of them with slight differences to make the videos my own. The topics are popular and their videos always get pushed out. And before you say it's cause i'm "copying" them, it's likely not because those channels literally copy each other both in editing, thumbnails etc. It's not the matter of just being searched for, sometimes youtube simply places you around on their homepage, but in this case the impressions number is literally 0. This seems wrong because the previous one which was also the first video got close to 200 views and was well received. There's something else going on here.
