YouTube Restricting My Channel From Getting Any Kind Of Viewership | Is YouTube Rigged?

Clickbait title... Maybe... But I upload here and there videos on my channel "Spoonfull" on youtube

idk if I'm shadow banned or because I'm not as consistent because I don't get any views whatsoever. I posted videos about other people and they seem to get views but when I want to post something trending or unique I get no views AT ALL. I follow other people who are successful by tweaking tags, description, titles, thumbnails and none of it works. Regular longform videos don't pull anything, but shorts seem to get 500-1000 views within the hour, though I speculate they're bots or just rigged to keep the creator happy to post more since yt wants to challenge tiktok. I don't knwo what to do besides make a new channel. I love making videos, I do it for myself though I would like it if other people would actually see it, and I don't mean millions or hundreds of thousands. I'm fine with hundreds or midrange thousands, but it is absolutely crushing to see 3-10 within the first hour and be like that for months. It seems I hate comparing but I've noticed other creators that have a semi big following and go on a hiatus and you expect them to have no viewership when returning but come back as if they never left. Or YouTube is rigged by talent agencies conspiracy theories, you don't wanna hear that. It's either quit because everything is rigged or start fresh and reupload what I have already.
