Be careful, even mentioning AI can affect your videos performance (maybe?)

I encountered a funny situation

I started a new channel and videos were doing okay, I had a couple of shorts with 1k+ views, then I uploaded a short were I mentioned AI in the description, it was a “ day 1 Filtering AI out of your feed with video games” short.

That one tanked hard, 2 views in 2 days, felt really weird. On Facebook, it had like 2k views in less than a day.

Today I uploaded another similar video, but avoided mentioning AI in the title/description.

Views are back to normal, growing by the minutes.

This is just a theory but did mentioning AI did something with the algorithm? YouTube has done some changes in their policy regarding AI so maybe it’s much more aggressive than I thought.

That could explain why it did good on Facebook since they don’t have any regulation towards AI that I know of.

Well, if you’re a new channel trying to grow maybe avoid even mentioning AI in your videos.

Just a theory, a YouTuber theory.
