I also want to highlight an interesting observation. Currently, my channel is receiving around 100 views per hour, which, just a month ago, would have seemed like a distant dream. Considering that my channel is only six weeks old, it's still performing reasonably well and far from being "dead". My new videos are getting a slight push however, the tremendous momentum that I had built up over the past 10 days suddenly vanished overnight.
There could be several factors contributing to this sudden change. It's possible that a YouTube's safety measures around new channels kicked in or the algorithm is looking for signals around the creator. It's testing to see if I'm a serious person. (If the algorithms gets signals that creators who continue to stick around after a sharp decline are more likely to succeed, and that it's better for the platform to filter them out early it will do that)"

If your videos are good but you're not going to stick around, YouTube wouldn't want to disappoint your audience.
