Youtube Is Broken - How To Kill A Youtube Video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- RUclips is a perfectly balanced platform with no exploits at all... Ok well maybe there are a few! RUclips is the greatest video sharing platform on the web and every now and again everyone finds a new way to exploit the website to glitch and bug the algorithm to become the largest channels on the website. In the 2010s we saw gaming channels accidentally use an algorithm glitch to become the only things youtube recommended. Now however youtube has a new secret exploit! There are many ways of explaining how to grow on youtube or how to get more views or how to get subscribers. Today however we will be using an algorithm glitch to gain more views than we should ever get as well as thousands of subscribers and preferential promotion in the algorithm. Have you ever wandered how the youtube algorithm works well guess what the new youtube algorithm 2023 edition is completely broken and full of bugs, glitches and exploits! If you ever wanted to know how to grow on youtube then you probably thought the answer was to make more videos but no! instead the spiffing brit will explain the youtube algorithm to show how dream exploited the youtube algorithm 2023 to gain millions of subscribers.

*Dear New RUclips CEO... Sorry.*
I have seen that, if the ending of the video has a space, sponsor or smth that just makes people yeet out of it, the view count will fail, killing the trend, that's why DF is such a big channel
@NMRIH is a great Source mod - blessed by Cory's lip bro tell me how u are everywhere I will legit give you 20 pounds
LOL Sorry. But we are not Sorry?
they dun it to them selves !
@NMRIH is a great Source mod - blessed by Cory's lip Yorkshire Tea with honey, and biscuits,or scones .
LMAO just be ME, Spiff! Videos, Dead, channel, micro size, subscribers, too few and insane.
This is terrific, now I can tell myself that it's not that my videos are terrible, it's just that someone is sabotaging me!
If you want, I can be the sacrifice that supposedly does it so you have someone to blame, just make a scary creature in my memory~
Smart
Haha, think your content is probably niche enough that there's not a lot of competition. That is to say, I know no other creators with your style of videos.
Btw I didn’t expect to see you north of the border, but I love your channel and are already subbed lol.
Honestly you are the only clay model maker I follow because your commentary makes the video much more interesting. The others I've clicked on who just sculpt silently I end up just skipping to the end to see their "glamour shots"
this is doubly terrifying because it means that large corporations can do this to reviewers who review their product poorly; or who review their competition positively; effectively resulting in erasing the reviewer from the algorithm and thus the bad press.
I hadn't even thought of that. Shit! That's bad!
I bet they have been doing it already
Authoritarian government style.
Large corporations are not the problem
They don’t give a f
It’s all free marketing
This is a feature not a bug
RUclips: "So people are going to PAY us to sabotage each other? And this will take off?"
RUclips: "We looked into ourselves and found no problems."
Thanks for exposing this, Spiff. To spread the word I've paid out on an ad campaign showing this video to as wide an audience as possible!
Amazing. It would be even more hilarious if your dastardly plan backfired and made RUclips actually fix the problem!
Fantastic I shall join you. This needs to be viewed by every active RUclips account today.
Don't forget to market it to no creators at all!
Just for the record, spiff blocked such an ad right
The point of this video is that he cannot do such a thing.
How could anyone suppress Daisy, the most loveable Mario character of them all I certainly love
He's a monster
Rules of the internet, homie. There is porn of everything. And there is a hater for everything.
That stream really broke his brain.
Dan your not playing her anymore. Be truthful to the people
Dear God, that stream really did give you like 5 lobotomies
It's mind blowing that they added that checkbox, and then somebody went like "Wait, should everyone have that checkbox?" and then they said "Nah, screw the smaller channels."
I think it would be a better idea to simply not have the video be affected in the algorithm when it's run as an ad. This would likely help both creators (as doing this exploit would just mean free adverting) and advertisers (because their content won't be lost in the infinite pit of people skipping their ads)
Maybe it could also bin the different sources of views, so that the algorithm could be more resilient against bad recommendation strategies. So if a new recommendation strategy tanked the metrics, then that recommendation strategy could be weighted less, or fixed, or used less for that video. Maybe this is sometimes why updates to the algorithm can sometimes be very bad for certain videos...
That is very terrifying. This would let brands silence any videos that don't agree with them by spending their marketing budget on mistargeted ads. Hopefully @RUclips can figure out a way to stop it!
I think it already is being done because I get random ads that make no sense to me sometimes.
@@bowxfire5275 yep been that way for quite awhile.
E
@friendlyjordies Considering how much people have gone after him. This is basically the new false copyright strike. Only more efficient with less lawyers fees.
@@bowxfire5275 same
Another use case for this exploit that I find even more terrifying is that it can also be used by companies against RUclipsrs. A company could pay to suppress a youtube video that reviews their product negatively, so that anyone who searches your product sees only positive reviews. Suddenly, that 100£ isn't actually costing you anything since you are influencing your prospective buyers into actually buying your product by removing anything negative about it. That is truly frightening!
Even 1000 is okay for that
@@schwingedeshaehers Some brands would gladly spend hundreds of thousands or even a couple million to shut down any kind of criticism.
I thought about that, too. It’s already bad enough that huge companies suppress creators legally through the systems in place. Now they can suppress them with even less money and avoid the legal system entirely. Freaking scary.
imagine raid-shadow legend instead of paying more money to creators to promote the game, instead pays that money to remove all vidoes that arent supported by them.
an goverments for example business basics gets really low imporessions bc he makes content abpoujt china. and i think this could be the case there
Wow this is terrifying. If this goes unchecked, it will effectively create a class system where the top RUclipsrs stay on the top while others will be squashed.
Twitch?
@@Vanished584 yeah pretty much
I had an experience with this a while back. I had a fan who commented on every video asking me to review a certain game. I finally did and while the video exploded initially in views, the avg view duration was horrid. It was strange for sure and based on some of their later comments, i suspect that they had run an ad campaign to "boost" the views of the vid in an attempt to convince me to become a content creator for that game specifically. I saw the analytics tho and knew something was up
This is why you don’t do the request of just one fan.
That is actually terrifying...thanks, Spiff! Always the best at breaking things!
Sometimes I scare myself with my own brilliance :D
The march of technology, more terrifying every day!

You misspelled hilarious
@@thespiffingbrit INFINITE POWER. PERFECTLY BALENCED
You know a exploit is bad and disgusting when Spiffing Brit himself hates it
Don't see the issue personally, it looks both fair and balanced.
@@zachdew9gaming985 Perfectly balanced in every way?
Pretty much any of them he makes a video of are,
Because if he really wants to leverage it for himself indefinitely, he wouldn't expose it.
@@zachdew9gaming985 hahahahaha
Honestly he seemed in favor of the unbalanced "make shorts while it is a new feature" hack & despite me seeing the video a year later, it explain why a random short video of mine shot up in views so randomly I was puzzled for ages. My cat is cute but 1,700 views cute? On tiktok my views jump higher in general compared to RUclips anyway so people may just like short form stuff.
I tried a number of things in my channel with ads... and I was overly broad in my campaigns. This explains ... a LOT.
It's amazing that you're making this known to the rest of RUclips, but I fear that the company's "solution" may be to create a whitelist of people who can use a feature like this, as it wouldn't take nearly as long to make that than to revamp that aspect of advertising within RUclips and it would allow companies that would pay far more money to RUclips than the average creator ever could to have far more advertising space than ever before.
Basically, RUclips (the company) could use this as an excuse to allow only the highest bidders to advertise other people's content, which could mean that some of the most powerful people in the world could suppress content from regular people trying to make ends meet far more easily.
Hey guys in this video we will teach you how to sacrifice a youtube video to the tea gods
ok
Chaos god of TEA!
The Tea Gods have chosen to smite thee with the power of Yorkshire Tea.
ChaoTEAc neutral gods you mean 😂
E
As RTGame and Spiffing Brit have shown, the best way to improve RUclips is to show how badly broken and horrible the platform is, and how easily it is broken. Thank you for doing your part!
man, the platform is really youtubed right now isnt it?
youtube sucks
@@LavaCreeperPeople fr, we need a new platform
this is such a youtube moment
Wait what?
Do you have litterally any idea how to program the algorithim to example recover like it does in this case?
You litterally have 0 idea what goes into developing the platform of youtube. How can you act like you can give an opinion on its overall quality? Its like a person being shown the first diamond they have ever seen and who knows nothing about what goes into creating / finding them, saying that the diamond is garbage. You have never seen any other youtube-like platforms and you have no idea what goes into creating them and making them good.
And you are ALSO taking one example of a fault and assuming its all horrible. If your friend says something to you that hurts your feelings by accident 1 time, do you block them and cut them completely off and call them a horrible person?
Thats what you are doing here, youtube has an addicental fault and you are saying the entire thing is horrible and should be killed.
Im sorry but you need to stop making general conclutions from specific examples. Seperate whats good from whats bad.
you got me in the first half not gonna lie, though it is terrifying to a growing youtube channel that a single ad can kill it
Hey Spiff, brilliant content, are there any other social medias you can break? I mean analyze. 😏
Not really a "new" secret exploit, but long story short, I covered this extensively about 5 years ago because this happened to me, and eventually I got it elevated to the right people at RUclips. A video of mine was promoted which allowed them to change the title of the ad to promote pirating the game I was covering in the video. Of course, people dipped because that wasn't the case and the video tanked. Thus, this ordeal is how that checkbox for larger creators got implemented - through repeatedly knocking on creator support's door. (The checkbox that prevents their videos from being used unless that Adwords account is linked.) However, I was not aware it did not include all creators... Which is depressing to see that the same issue still exists for those starting out.
....is this like a alternate account of spiff brit or something
RUclips doesn't really care as long as it makes money. Once the userbase is large enough you are bound to have channels that earn them a lot of money and get protected. Also just think about how much money legacy content earns the company for ad revenue on repeat views.
I agree it is distressing as it is favouring anti competative practice. But then again how many video platforms really compete with RUclips? Twitch and TikTok are the main ones, then who else isn't a minnow? I am sure they are all for anti-competition.
spiff did it with style tho
@@tools.shoe.country.quickly google how to use commas. Typically you use them with words like "and" or "but". Seems like you just shove them wherever
@@ee3737 I think you might be the one that needs to google... They used one comma and one semicolon, and they were put in specific places to emphasise a separate clause. Here is a version of that sentence with slightly different words:
"...ads on their video showcasing a product, which had fake links to the products; this effectively made the legit video link to a scam"
See how the middle part and the end part are new clauses? meow simply shortened that, without being overly specific about each new clause. Grammar is not a set of rigid rules; it evolves based on how it is used, especially in colloquial use online.
Also, what a weird thing to stop and type, can't believe you would take time out of your day to have a rant about grammar to someone on the interne- Oh, wait a minute...
In this video, Spiff will break RUclips again. Probably.
XD
I'm surprised Astral Spiff hasn't tried that
Hopefully
I can't wait.
Can't break what's already broken.
I heard about something a while ago where an entire batman(?) animated movie was run as a 2 hour unskippable ad, AND there was a "glitch" where that same ad would play if you refreshed the tab.
Best part is that since you get recommendations also based on how highly YT thinks you rate a channel, doing this to sufficiently many videos for a channel will likely also make their videos NOT directly targeted by the ad campaign to not get recommended. Brilliant if you can get in fast enough to tank the ratings early for video themes with short lived interest (where most views will happen early on in the videos lifetime), that will likely recoup a lot of the cost for the ad campaigns...
I love how you subtly point out that youtube knows about the issue and has taken steps to protect larger channels. Almost like this feature is intended for larger channels to spend money to make sure they never have competitors.
I wonder if Amazon did this to Crowfall?
Watch *"RUclips has a BIG problem that no one is talking about."*
It talks about a very similar problem and is one of the reasons why youtube sucks now
Gotta look out for the little guy
If water runs off it's back and it quacks, gotta be a duck.
What can you do? Even if RUclips do genocide they have absolute monopoly on video sharing website. Not only that, they are owned by the largest tech company on earth. We need anti trust regulation on google. They are too big
This is very broken, I love learning how to kill a youtube video.
Thanks Spiff!

@@EEEEEEEE E?

@@EEEEEEEE E
I got 1000$ to kill this video as a experiment
“But it’s not exactly a good idea for a fair and open platform like RUclips” RUclips is the opposite of fair and open.
Bruh, did they actually fix this or did they do youtube thing and ignored it entirely?
I believe that this is an adequate explanation of that one time RUclips tried to show me a 30 minute preroll podcast before a 6 minute video. Very enlightening. Thank you.
That sounds absurd but I don't doubt it. RUclips ads have gone off the rails. At this point the site is unusable without adblock
@@LilacMonarch you can use basically anything as an ad as long as its skippable, I once got a 5 hour video
@@LilacMonarch I agree it sounds absurd. It happened only once and it was skippable, but it made me reconsider ad blockers. Before that, I didn't use them because "video machine needs to make money somehow". But then one ad became two ads, and then the midroll ads would cut into the middle of spoken sentences, and then less and less ads would be skippable, and then one day this happened and I was just done with it.
Maybe 6-7 years ago or so I got a whole movie as a preroll add, near 2 hours if I remember right. Was a Sony production, a horror film that largely took place in a single unfinished basement. Ended up watching most of it to be honest. Was an ok film
@@PosterityIslesNews About a year ago I was cycling to shop. Just about 4min trip and I got maybe 6min video selected and then ad started playing. 28 minute unskippable video ad. I had to close the youtube player on my phone to get rid of it to listen to the video I wanted.
All we can do is hope that Spiffing never turns evil, for we would have no defense against that.
Plus side if he did go evil then you know he would eliminate all the evil competition.
@@kazuma_koon having one supervillan is better than having a hundred crappy villans!
I mean, he's British. He's already evil, he's just convinced you that he's not through the power of Yorkshire Tea!
He stopped drinking Yorkshire Gold for good. Now he does it for evil.
I never thought I would see the day where spiff would find a exploit that scares him
12:02 Though not quite the same, this has some "We have such sights to show you." vibes.
But then again, Spiffing Brit might be a stranded Cenobite.
At this point I'm convinced "someone at youtube" means a janitor, a security guard, or the ceo themself. Whenever a problem surfaces, unless about 5 million people spam the company, they don't respond and just direct you to one of the many bot assisted complaint or appeal processes
A better way than removing the ability to advertise someone elses video, is for you to set the target audience in your video and if people decide to advertise it, it is automatically with your set target audience. That way people can still support you without destroying the video
or (and idk how difficult this would be to code) but maybe ads should just not count in the algorithm or have a separate viewer count etc. because even if I "like" an ad, im still skipping it like 99.9% of the time to watch the video I selected. doesn't necessarily say anything about how good or bad the ad in itself is. (hope that made sense)
I was thinking that the creator would get the option to either accept or decline if someone wants to run an ad campaign, and also be able to see/edit the demographic it's set to get pushed to.
@@LaraOlina there shouldn't be an option to advertise other people's videos in the first place.
@@amunak_ there should be this option, like for example if someone wants to run a ad campaign for *Never gonna give you up* that should be completely fine but there should be control over how it is implemented ( yes you just got rickrolled)
What would make even MORE sense (and I don't know how this could be done but it would be the most correct option) is to make the algorithm more intelligent when evaluating this stuff. The issue here is that the video was being advertised to a target audience that wouldn't like it? then... why not have the yt algorithm take note of that, not as "this video is spam don't recommend it anymore" but as "this is not the target audience for this video, recommend it to someone else"? or even "this ad seems to be badly or too broadly targeted, I can't get any good information from this, proceed as normal"? Of course it would help if the creator could also specify the ACTUAL target audience for reference, no good reason to not have that as well.
The best fix (for this and the original exploit) is simply for adverts' views simply not to tie into the algorithm at all. It's extremely weird that they could possibly garner revenue, or that they feed into how well the main video does. They should be treated like a separate copy of the video which only exists for that one advert.
I do genuinely hope the new CEO will be more on top of fixing things like this than the old one was. That would renew my confidence in the platform and I might start making videos again.
Very glad that Spiff chose to share this info with RUclips instead of using this knowledge to destroy his enemies and conquer the platform. As fun as that would’ve been to watch, small creators really need a win in there column these days.
Small creators these days dont have anything except maybe in few cases actually amazing content to drive them up. Glad i stopped making content before all this shit show. Too much work for no return really. Didnt even get to minimum 25$ sum before youtube cut the monetization from channels under 1000 subs.. Now days even if you have thousands of subs and bank actually decent money from content... yeah no.. now its the MSM that get served and you get shanked on this platform...Look elsewhere for platforms or dont bother here for the money, that ship sailed long time ago.
If he knows about it, the chances are that it's being used in action by a bunch of people already. As with security flaws, the best thing you can do is warn the owners and then publicise it.

@@bencollier3758 I bet this gets used politically all the time.
maybe he share this AFTER destroying his enemies?? I mean, you don't see any Epic Meal Time videos anymore, and you know damn well that those bastards used to talk bullocks about tea !
You know what... this actually happened to me because I boofed the ad campaign on one of my videos and accidentally made it waaaay too broad of an audience. To think that idiotic mistake could be weaponized!
I've known this as a smaller creator for a long time. I knew it because of how I used to do it to my own channel and learnt over time. Advertising always killed my video but I didn't catch on for a bit. Once I did I knew it was a problem but never thought to make a video over it. Then again if I did someone would probably pay to tank my channel then steal the video idea. Thanks for figuring this out man I actually forgot this was a thing for quite awhile.
I remember ages ago one of my vids was being promoted without me running a campaign but that was a one-off event, on a vid that wasn't even good. So I just left it and moved on
Thanks for explaining this. I’m sure this must have happened to me, one of my videos took off for a week or two. I remember looking at the research tab and the viewer searches were all about Tesla. I thought that was odd and didn’t know why ppl were finding my videos through Tesla searches… now I know
This seems like a genuine problem, somebody should run an ad campaign of this video to spread awareness!
Let's hope they don't run the ad campaign with irrelevant target audiences
Make sure to target the widest audience possible to really get the word out there!
i think pensioners in looking for knitting videos would find this verry intereting lets advertise to them
Sounds like a good plan, tuning the demographic to CEOs of large media corporations aged about 50 and with the first name Neal.
Hopefully someone at youtube takes this seriously and actually comes up with a solution. If not, this has the potential to destroy the platform
E
I hope it stays like this
Lmao, as if.
ha someone at youtube actuly fix something that is broken thats ritch
RUclipss solution will probably be to promote Premium more to people so they avoid ads completely, rather than just fix the problem. Though I do have to admit, whilst I hate paying for premium, I love having no ads on my tv when watching youtube late at night.
omg this is why i never get official trailer videos as video recommendations, b/c they are ads. this is really annoying b/c some ad videos, like trailers or demos for products might be interesting videos on their own, but they will never come up and are hard to search once they get paid to be ads.
RUclips workers say it doesn't work like this. They say the data each trafic source (such as Suggested or Paid Ads) is completely separated
‘RUclips Workers’ don’t speak English, dude. You must be thinking of their bots.
They said but statistic don't lie like they can.
They also said, "Don't worry, dislikes still totally matter, trust me, bro"
Hey RUclips, this might be horrifically broken. And morally dubious at best. I would revisit this factor of the algorithm as soon as possible
E
Problem is, advertisers are the ones paying the money.
@@DonVigaDeFierro Usually not advertisers for channels I think?
Yeah, imagine being a small channel trying to build an audience and spending hundreds of dollars just to tank your own videos cuz you didn't understand the algorithm.
@@trumpisthemessiah7017 nice pfp bro
Based on the way RUclips's been handling things recently, I wouldn't be surprised if RUclips just straight up bans Spiff, and doesn't do anything about the exploit.
If they do, they would be killing the one force trying to make their company more profitable and more viable.
He'll rise from the ashes if they do.
You could probably do a lawsuit against google for it, if ya had the money.
@Makuru_DD nah. They're a private entity who does not employ them. They reserve the right to deny service to anyone for any reason and need explain nothing.
@@sasukedemon888888888 at least in Germany there would probably be laws against that and if not, a union of RUclips that will, will be formed.
The good thing is that this is easily solvable. Like you said, give the video creator the options to either 1) just not run the ad, or 2) change the target demographics for the ad. Also, make sure that the person paying for the ad actually has to pay for it, regardless of whether the creator later decides to not run it. Problem solved.
This video made me think about how much social media algorithms are exploitable. For example, you could make a mock tiktok account where you say extremely controversial things, get a lot of comments by people debating about it, and getting your videos pushed up in the for you page (not me giving the spiff ideas)
Spiffing Brit: Invents the nuclear weapon of YT
Also Spiffing Brit: Gives it to everyone to ensure MAD
Also gives it to RUclips, so they can (*hopefully*) fix it.
Or they can just laugh at the facts at 4:00, that's fine too...
YT would probably be happy to see people going the MAD route. Balances out while a ton of ad campaigns get paid for.
@@DanyF02
I agree: It's all about the money, and some people really don't care who they hurt in order to get it...
Spiffing Brit is effectively an AI researcher at this point, redteaming the RUclips algorithm for us all
He's f'kin brilliant. It reminds me of the market manipulation he's done in several games and on the Hat Trade Emporium (steam 🙂 )
Spiffing Brit, you're the only one who should have this power. Know how to manipulate the algorithm to make your videos more popular, and you know how to make a video unpopular as well. I trust you use his power for the better good. Or at least for a hilarious video.
Spiff: Abuses RUclips
RUclips: Kills Spiff’s channel.
This is downright terrifying. No one should have that sort of power.
No one man should have all that power
Well then, when Spiffingbrit says "this is a power I shouldn't have" that is a definitely a powerful statement.
Man, it'd be so great to send this video as an ad to the elderly.
I started to notice fake ads around when the dislike button was hidden. Annoying repulsive chaos. They don’t even bother to have a fake product.
As always youtube is very broken / perfectly balanced
I love this mix of helpfulness (in having a possible solution) and terrible irresponsibility (in letting the *fine* folks of the internet know about this - but I do believe this will result in a faster fix). RUclips is perfectly balanced with no exploits
You can also get redditors banned by paying a site to upvote their comments with bot accounts. Probably works on other sites too, the internet is broken.
I'm guessing its because he tried contacting RUclips but they don't give a shit, so he made it public to force their hand.
Ya know I’ve been thinking about starting a channel where I use fun, less known exploits to break games! Problem is there are so many channels like this:/ thanks for this tip!
I love how you stick up for smaller creators.
You are the lock picking lawyer of exploits. Truly amazing what you can figure out when it comes to breaking a system of rules.
RUclips is perfectly balanced as all things should be - Sun Tzu
Hi Spiff, Congrats on making it on to the podcast of the lotus eaters - I assume this is why You are featured on Their show by the title of the peice.
Keep up the good work 🤝
I don’t know if the RUclips Ad campaign thing is going on still, but I watched the video all the way through, gave it a thumbs up and now leaving a comment, so that the algorithm can promote this!
I remember the first YT exploit video about the polls, everybody from all communities on YT were spamming polls everywhere. History repeats, I guess.
I never knew so many things were so perfectly balanced before Spiff.
lol
So in terms of the Elder Scrolls, it works like an inverse transmute ore spell where you cast it on a piece of gold, and it turns into lead, but also everybody in the area get their money converted into lead, and then you can sell your stuff for relatively more coins
feel like a good solution would be to have a notification be sent to a creator before the ad campaign was done. that way a crator could look at the details of things such as who it was going to get advertised to ect and could either apporve or disaprove of the advertisment getting run. if they disaprove the money would get sent back to the donater in the first place. would still allow for fans to promote their fav artist on the platfom while declawing trolls or competitors from messing with the analitics
The Spiffing Brit is a real life version of Neo from the Matrix. He just SEES the code and knows what it all means. Thank God he's on our side.
... is he? I mean, if you weren't aware of this mechanic - now you are... and you like the guy _even more_ for some reason. ;-] Win/win? :D

What I'd like to see is: 1. the option to opt out for everyone, as suggested; and 2. for ad requests (and changes to them) to be withheld and sent to the video owner for screening, much like potentially inappropriate comments. That way, they can ensure the ads will be shown to relevant audiences, or opt out on a case-by-case basis.
Or, disregard ad impressions during recommendation evaluation
Only the negative ones, I would argue. Positive ad interactions should still count, though maybe weighted against the bad ones.
In the end, what matters is that the outcomes of ad campaigns should never disadvantage a video in the recommender system. Especially since that lets people run them with the peace of mind that it can't hurt, which is good for RUclips's bottom line.
"Hey bro, I bought you ads for your video, If you accept them you get free adverising"
Chances are buddy wont notice the ads are for 65+ singles
@@Zyghqwyv That would be down to what information were shown to the video owner, and it would be on them to screen it properly before approving it. It would still be significantly better than no screening at all.

I'm confident Spiff will one day find an exploit in the universe allowing him to effectively manipulate reality or something
he probably already has and is just keeping it quiet so he can enjoy his infinite tea exploit before it gets patched
He has, it is called drinking Yorkshire Tea Gold.
Funny you should mention that, the Egyptain Priests back in the days of Pharoah were basically doing JUST THAT. Somehow sorcerers find a "hole" in reality and they exploit the heck out of it. Demonic summoning seems to be a favorite with modern sorcerers. It's also as dangerous as hell too.
I tried advertising my channel about 2 years ago on adsense, absolute nuke to my channel, have not grown since. Literally have been stuck just under 17k subs, worst decision I ever made.
When The Spiffing Brit uploads, my heart is full of joy.
E
I’m gonna be honest. This is the one Spiffing Brit video that does not make me happy. I don’t rely on RUclips for income and even I am terrified.

i know you are not a bot , but i wanted to make a joke:

Spiff is basically a playtester for the real world.
This explains some of my ad experiences lately.
spiffing brit you are crazy at this point I thot I seen it all but nope you just top everything I have ever seen
Always a pleasure and a comfort to see Spiff using his unlimited powers for good.
God help us if this man ever turns to the Dark Side
the world of skyrim probably feels he has turned to the dark side many MANY times over
Sounds entertaining tbh
That's the trick, he is a retired lord of Darkness. Apparently absolute power gets absolutely boring after a while.
It only took me like five minutes before I realized how freaking awful and terrifying the ability to advertise others’ content is.
This is crazy and I’m glad Spiff suggested a way to fix it, like creators being able to opt out of others advertising them. It makes too much sense NOT to implement it.
God I hope RUclips fixes this. Too many livelihoods are on the line and any person with a lot of money can already legally strong arm those without money; now they can do it for near nothing through the algorithm.
I’m mortified.
It should be an opt in, not an opt out.
Watch *"RUclips has a BIG problem that no one is talking about."*
It talks about a very similar problem and is one of the reasons why youtube sucks now
@@LavaCreeperPeople There are probably dozens of videos with that title, you should say who made it

Very nice video brother!
Other creators trying to sabotage competition is bad enough, but also the fact that any random person can do this is a worrying prospect. This combined with cancel culture as it has been over the last few years, seeing how far large numbers of people are willing to go to harass creators over some twitter argument or opinion they disagree with, I can definitely see this flaw being abused if it isn't addressed.
Yeah, its a double edged sword, some people who perhaps do deserve to be outed have been too, but there's been plenty of situations recently people's careers have been severely damaged, if not ended by the internet horde over something that later was proven to be false - after irreparable damage has already been done. This as it stands is unfortunately a very easy tool that can be abused by any random with a vendetta against a particular creator, multiply that by a large angry discord community or something and a channel could get screwed relatively easily by them. Given how willing some people seem to be to dox and swat creators they don't like or simply for the hell of it, I have no doubt they'd be willing to do this.
Thanks for bringing attention to the problem spiff, hope it's fixed asap!
I own a RUclips ad agency. This was a huge problem a few years back, but we thought that it had been fixed. Ad Views, even with great targeting, are almost always way below organic, so it would tank any video no matter what audience you choose. So, RUclips's, in a sense, punishing channels/businesses that want to give them money.
I'll share this with some of my RUclips guru buddies and see if we can get in touch with someone about this
This has been an issue for years. In my experience, it was peoples' fan-videos being used to promote rip-offs of the games they were playing. There was absolutely nothing the video creators could do about their videos being used to promote rip-offs. (The game in question was Line Rider. Look up: "Line Rider videos are being used as Line Driver ads without permission." The dev' made a post about it on Reddit) This is even more malicious (And probably more illegal) than what Spiff is talking about. Because it is damaging the original game, while also making a profit (Apparently in the thousands of dollars) by redirecting people to the rip-off game. But they get away with it because RUclips is a broken system. The worst part is this tactic could potentially be used to redirect large numbers of people to malware (Which the Google/Apple App Stores are absolutely infested with)
I feel that you can be hired by RUclips and become the chief algorithmic analyzer, simply because of how you're able to find these weird exploits.
Spiffing Brit chaining exploits into exploits into exploits
Thanks for explaining this.
This could be even more evil if you could get a wrong demographic to subscribe to the channel. Then, they won't click on new videos, they won't get recommended and you'll kill their channels.
It's basically what happened after MrBeast shoutouted 5 random channels on some video and made people subscribe, and all of those channels got crushed by that
RUclips is trully Balance, but the question is How to Kil A RUclips Video ? Perhaps instead RUclips is Broken
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
Spiffing Brit, always delivering the good stuff and tea.
Publishing exploits ASAP is the only way to make RUclips fix problems.
Otherwise they will just ignore them.
Good job.
Spiff, it seems that there is also the problem in that some delayed recovery a month later may in fact not even come close to balancing the books. If the target video was very topical at the time this strategy could easily kill it for long enough to render it irrelevant for the period where the majority of potential viewers actually cared enough to have been actively searching for it. A video about a new media release like the game example you used would be a prime example of where this would be disproportionately more valuable, there is a limited window of time to earn optimal revenue for your work between the embargo dropping and when the next big shiny enters the chat and runs away with the attention of most of the audience that were searching for the game your video was about during that limited period of time when it was the newest and hottest topic among the audience that you know actually might have found that game interesting the first place.
