Why my DA dropped Suddenly?

-
I need info on embedding youtube videos inside blog posts as well. As per a study i found after inclusion of youtube embeds inside posts, the DA drops allot. But when we remove the embeds then DA comes back to normal.
Can somebody explains what is it with this behavior of DA?

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
The change you've noticed would be due to the fact that we updated the way in which we calculate DA as of March 5th. The new DA has been launched with the purpose of improving our ability to predict a site’s ranking ability with even better accuracy. This update aims to give us a more accurate depiction of your site’s influence over time.
This doesn't mean we’ve started from scratch with our calculations; in fact, all of the features that went into the old DA model are also present in the new DA model as we’ve added more complexity around them. This includes a better understanding and consideration for the quality of the site linking to the site you’re researching, and links to a page that redirect to another page.
Please note, when tracking your DA and the Link Building work you’re performing, DA should always be looked at in comparison to your target competitors, never as a standalone metric.

I hope this helps but please let us know if there's more we can help to clarify!

Unsolved My DA does not increase and Moz does not recognize my links
Hello everyone. My website (I am attaching the link to it, if you cannot attach the link remove it but please give me an answer) https://mejorhora.com/ 3 MONTHS ago I made different redirections from other websites that I have with high authority in order to increase both the Da and the DR since I sell links to that website and it suits me. Ahref showed me all the links after a few days, also in search console. However, in Moz it does not recognize more than 500 new domains that give me links. Because? It's been 3 months... What should I do?

Could be the PA greater than the DA?
Hello users MOZ:
Link Explorer | | NachoRetta
I have a question about page and domain authority. It is OK that sometimes PA is greater than the DA? I think that's not right, but it happens in some domains, for example in the attached image. uB7HZhr.png1 -
