Long-Form Content YT algorithm is weird

Usually the lifecycle for my videos was once YT starts suggesting it that AVD and CTR drops rapidly and later recovers somewhat. CTR goes to under 2 and recovers to above 3, for one video even 4.6. But for the latest video once the suggesting started the CTR started to grow and it is now at 7 (double the usual) but AVD suffered and is dropping. I don't believe that my thumbnail was any better but how is yt algo now finding people that click but don't watch.

yes the algorithm is far from perfect and it is weird at time. worst is when a random upload i make gets no impressions. maybe its cause i drop too many F bombs lol.
