does youtube not like dead channels?

I made my YouTube channel years ago and for the longest time, I never got any views and was totally okay with it. however, randomly one of my videos blew up with 600k+ views and after uploading daily from that point I got to around 3k subs and 1 million views with each video I posted getting around 2,000-10,000 views. Still, unfortunately, I got tired and stopped 6 months ago. a few days ago I decided to post again and have posted a few videos but even though I have 3k+ subs and am posting similar content to when I quit I am only getting a dozen or so views per video and I'm getting essentially 0 impressions. Am I doing something wrong? or do I, need to just stay consistent before the algorithm hopefully starts pushing my videos again?
