I'm not sure how long ago your story's from but I've heard youtubers mention a recent change in the algorithm that made it so subscribers stopped seeing notifications unless they clicked the notification bell thing. Apparently, from what a few different channels i watch have mentioned, in some cases they started getting half the amount of views or less compared to before the changes.

From the creator studio you can see analytics for your video, including a view that shows you the percentage of your audience you retain at each second of your video. This is useful because you can see what's on the screen as you lose viewers and what content people skip over. You can also see the click through rate on your notifications and watch time. Those were the main metrics I used. I found that all of my key metrics were down after my failed switch. Fewer people would click on my notifications, if they did they didn't watch as much, and they tended to stop watching as I explained what the video was about. I think that in turn these metrics would signal YouTube that my content was bad so it wouldn't get recommended or rank in search queries I know YouTube is always tinkering with the algorithm, but in my case the metrics and the timing of my collapse in views, make me think my channel failed because of the content switch.

I think that's the worst part of the way YouTube's algorithms work, in your case, at least you have a fairly good idea as to possibly why your channel declined in popularity, but for a lot of people they're left wondering if it's the algorithm or their content.
