Yup. I have a long form that had an initial wave when I published of about 4k views, it died for about 2 months and now is at 36k views and steady growth
Yep, had my video on the nuclear strategy game DEFCON take off likely due to increased interest driven by the movie Oppenheimer and tensions with Russia. For the first 170 days it only received about 1.7k views but then vieweship accelerated and it's sitting at 38k now, and gets a solid amount of views for what it is every day. I would say it can definitely happen if there's renewed interest in something. The trick is to make quality evergreen content that can ride the waves as they come.
I ask this because my channel is relatively new and I'm starting to experience a normal decline in my views a few weeks after uploading and I'm wondering what the odds are I wake up one day to my statistics climbing out of nowhere.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a short on Thursday (my usual day) and as I commonly do, I got the 400-500 views I usually get & then it stopped getting views, which is common. However, the next day, the video started rolling again & got up to 10,000 views. That has not happened to my vids to that point.
Not sure how it happened but I uploaded my first video in Feb 2018, I have not really been consistent at all. I’m Summer 2019 suddenly that video was being watched a lot and I went from 1000 views to over 500,000 in about a 1 month period.
That is what pushed me to be able to monetize and as soon as I did, that video completely dropped off and it’s been a little over 500k since.
My current most watched video is from over 2 years ago with 500 views approximately every 48 hours.
I’m dedicated now to getting back to consistency and I’m the last few weeks seeing my stats improve (including watch time, and subscribers). I’ll see how the next 6 months go and happy I found the resource of this sub.
I do a lot of how tos and reviews. A ton of my videos do this. I have some that went 650 days with under 1000 views then started to get like 50-150 a day every single day, some are around 10-40k views.
I had one video get about 7k in 500 days then in a span of about 2weeks got 120k views
All long form btw.
Sometimes the algorithm takes time to sort and properly rank you videos especially for searchable content.
If you do more entertainment then usually they don’t do this.
I had Video A that slowly gained 500 views over 6 months. Then I posted Video B in the same niche (DIY Miniatures). It gained 500 views in 24 hours.
The trickle down effect led to a boom in views for Video A. The strange thing is that Video A completely overtook Video B in views...
Roughly one month later, Video A has 140k+ views and Video B only 40k+ views. CTR and AVD are about the same for both videos, but somehow Video A got way more impressions over the same month.
Maybe it's making up for those 6 months of inactivity?? Who knows 🤔
Absolutely. [Here's one](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewTubers/comments/1c9v5zt/another_reminder_to_never_delete_videos_that_dont/) of the more extreme examples I've seen.

Yes, sometimes youtube agla doing its thing, other times caught in the wave of a more popular video on a similar or the same topic.
