Hey! So I made a video fairly recently, which I then shared on r/truefilm. It got to the top of that subreddit, and got a bunch of attention and views. First day, it had a fairly low number of impressions (629), but an ok clickthrough rate (3.2%. Not good, not bad, just ok).

​

Thing is, the algorithm must have noticed all the attention it was getting from reddit, because my impressions shot through the roof the next day, and for almost a week I was averaging 4000 impressions a day. Thing is, as you would expect, my CTR tanked as a result, going all the way down to 0.6%. Pretty abysmal.

​

What I was expecting was a gradual decent in impressions, and a gradual rise in CTR as the algorithm got better at recommending my video to people who actually wanted to watch it, but what ended up happening was a peak of 5600 impressions on Tuesday (still at the terrible CTR of 0.6%), and then a complete 180, dropping my video down to 250 impressions on Wednesday.

​

What gives? Did I get something wrong in my thumbnail/title/description? Did I just become irrelevant overnight in the mind of the algorithm? What's going on?

​

Also I'm fairly new to actually being active in this sub, so sorry if this a dumb question or has already been answered by someone else. Video Linked in the comments, so I don't break the rules of the sub.
