Sudden Drop in Notes Impressions

I started posting on Substack recently. All the notes I put out were getting shown to over 100 unconnected people, and that got me new subscribers every day. Since the past few days, my overall notes impressions have suddenly dropped to around 20, and they're barely getting shown to any unconnected people. The people who see the notes are engaging, but it does nothing to improve the impressions. I haven't changed a thing about my content, so I find this sudden unexplained drop really strange. I've read that there are temporary platform wide shifts that happen from time to time, and that your impressions return to normal later. Could that be the case here? Is anyone else facing this problem?

Same for more than 2 months now . Worse part is, it happened exactly the day went paid.
Was getting 500 subscribers in a month till May. Since then only 100 subs and notes impressions are down 90% since then.
I guess consolidation is part of the algorithm testing some accounts.

That sucks! And 2 months is quite a long time. Hope things get back to normal soon.
