Woke up to 0 views on a reel after I put in 2 hours of editing

I spent all Tuesday night cutting this reel with after effects and captions, posted at noon the next day, and got zero views for 8 hours. I think the algorithm just shadowbans you if your content is too long or has too many cuts. Has anyone else noticed a hard cap on how many scene changes you can jam in?

Algorithm punishes long edits with lots of cuts. Keep it simple and short next time.

Not sure the algorithm cares that much about how many cuts you make. People overthink this stuff way too much, half the time it's just luck whether a video takes off. I'd rather make the edit I want and risk a drop in reach than chop it up for the sake of pleasing some mysterious code.
