Has my YouTube channel been restricted or ghosted?

I'm desperate!

I started a new YouTube channel a few months ago and uploaded my first video on September 12, 2024. The video covers the topic "Why I quit NoFap after a year" and is written in a self-improvement style. Despite its controversial topic, it was very well received: It received 1,260 views, a 95% like rate, and 35 comments within two days.

To draw attention to this video, I uploaded a YouTube short on the same day, linking to the video. However, the short was only shown 11 times in the feed in two days and also only had 11 views (but still 100%). Since this surprised me, because shorts are usually supposed to get more reach, I deleted the short and re-uploaded it. However, when I re-uploaded it, after 6-7 hours, it only had 4 views and was only shown 4 times in the feed.

My concern now is that my channel has been restricted because I uploaded the controversial short twice. Could this be the reason why my short is getting little reach? And could this also affect my long-form videos in the future? I want to ensure that future content on my channel performs normally and that I don't have any permanent restrictions due to this incident. If that's the case, is there anything I can do about it?

Thank you very much for your help and advice!
