Deleted a viral video after 40k views, algorithm punished me hard

Last Thursday I took down a 40k view reel because a commenter pointed out a factual error in the background text. Within 48 hours my next three posts got under 200 views each, which never happened before. Turns out the algorithm treats deletion as a content quality signal, or at least that's what a friend at Hootsuite in Austin told me. Has anyone else seen engagement tank after unpublishing a popular post, or was it just bad luck?
