About a month ago I made this obby game where you are a cave diver and it was doing really well about 900 ccu before the hunt event to which the game dropped to about 100ccu in an hour. The game now has been progressively dropping off from there, now literally in the single digits. I changed up the thumbnails but when i now check the thumbnail analytics, Roblox reports 0 impressions for all active thumbnails, anyone know why?

The Roblox algorithm heavily favors good retention statistics. A good thumbnail QPTR (qualified play through rate) definitely helps, but you need good retention prior for the thumbnail to do anything.
I’d assume the game being an obby - retention statistics were quite low. Though, I’ve never seen impressions jumping to 0 after a short while of having 900 CCU. Could just be an analytics bug.
Let me know if that clears things up!
i mean the retention ig wasn’t that great being only around 4-5m on average.
but like bruh, how does this happen.
That’s engagement - retention refers to D1, D7, and D30 retention under the retention tab. D1 and D7 are the ones that the algo really looks out for.
I’m aware, I was just showcasing the seemingly random drop in recommendations.
