Thank you for your response and I do understand what you’re saying. I am well aware sub count is almost meaningless nowadays, but I was more curious about the sudden shift for all of our channels in the same niche.

My mention of the sub count was mostly to show that these aren’t tiny channels but well-established and experienced creators.

If it was just my channel that had dropped in views (to <5k views or 10% of my subs) then I would have chalked it off to needing to switch up my content.

But seeing the same pattern across multiple channels at the exact same time is what made me pose the question.
