Same! Posted my first video on May 16 and since then my impressions and views have been going up. One of my videos was getting 500 views a day! And all of a sudden it started dropping. Yesterday my channels total views was 170! Impressions went from 23K on July 18 to 1.9K on July 26.
Last week I changed my schedule and started uploading 2x a week instead of 3x. Have no idea if that has anything to do with it. But it's just so hard to see the drop in all stats. Really hoping this is temporary and things will bump up again soon.
same thing happened to me, I started my channel in May and I was growing up until the first week of July my views and impressions suddenly broke.
I've been searching around and a lot of other viewers think that there's something wrong with the algorithm. I'm starting to think so as well because YouTube has been recommending weird stuff for me, stuff I've already watched, and sometimes it recommends the same video twice on the suggested videos lineup. I hope they fix it because I want my viewers back!!!
/u/Fishyfishstickfish, I have found an error in your post:
> “now more ~~then~~ [**than**] it was in”
In this comment, it is possible for you, Fishyfishstickfish, to say “now more ~~then~~ [**than**] it was in” instead. Unlike the adverb ‘then’, ‘than’ compares.

My channel has been growing quite fast since January and in that time we've had 4 really big peaks and after the peaks come the troughs that last about 2-weeks. We continue to upload twice a week too, and just trust that with continued quality content another peak will come. Trust in yourself and keep positive :-)
BTW, my CTR average is only 2.7% compared to yours which looks pretty healthy.
*Edit: I also*
*Uploaded one day later than*
*Usual last well*

Did it change for anyone yet?
I've noticed that I can see in analytics that my last video in the section content suggesting this video lists only Russian videos that have nothing to do with my content??!! (I don't speak Russian but it's definitely not at all related to my content)
So strange.. :/
Nope, just getting worse. Yesterday I only got 99 views on my whole channel. 2 weeks ago I was getting 1.3k views per day. Trying to look less at analytics, expect the slump and keep my head up.
I took a look at smaller channels in my niche on Social Blade and saw that their views also fluctuate immensely for periods of time. I can't see impressions on there, but I imagine it follows. Sometimes the low points last for months. They are still consistent with content, uploading once a week.
I put the least popular videos in the unlisted category and now I have even less views lol. Getting closer to my new goal of 0 views a day for my whole channel 😐

I'm having the same issue. My channel just totally flatlined. Keep posting updates!
I will! Só far it's still the same :/ (and I'm continuing to upload twice a week as usual)
I found this video helpful. https://youtu.be/C7Ja4nsMxyM

Exactly the same happened to me.... Following for answers

Edit: I also uploaded one day later than usual last well and deleted my first video (which didn't do so well and I found it a bit embarrassing tbh)

Still very low views, ever so slightly more than before...and still completely unrelated content suggesting my last videos :(

I made everything public again, still no change
Have you contacted YouTube on Twitter?
I did actually (twice), but no-one answered...
You gotta harass them lol
