This is just a guess. I think Valve made quickplay changes to value ping more than the number of players on a server.
This means that popular servers that used to be filled all day began to empty out sooner as the people that logged in later became further from with the server's time zone. So at 8 pm, there are more people logging in farther away from your server and Valve's quickplay chose to send them to an empty server with lower ping rather than to your server which still had people playing in it.
