WHY IS MY TRAFFIC ING DOWN?

WHY IS MY TRAFFIC ING DOWN?
Sorry for caps but I`m frustrated - On May 3rd / 4th, my traffic began a slow but painful slide down. No Google updates were made then - SE Land and MOZ reported "phantom" google update that corresponds with this slide that I experience on multiple websites, that were all growing before.

I did not get Panda or Penguinized.
I do not build or exchange links.
I write content myself, with videos and images, and about topic that I am a pro in, and my older posts on such topics have 50-100 comments ...

So WTF is going on? How do I fix this? Please help!!!

NOTE: Winter is seasonal drop on all my sites, so its normal to have low traffic in January. But the rop should not start until Sep. / Oct. based on years of data.

NOTE 2: Other sites have same pattern, with steeper decline.
