The prime minister of Romania (Catu), bought a lot of facebook likes for one of his press conferences held in Romanian language (without translation). Half of the people who liked his video had vietnamese names, the other half ukrainian. This is what our government spends the tax money on.
Trolls and haters often put fake likes on other people's posts in an attempt to get their posts flagged and taken down. It's very cheap and there's some sites even offering a free trial service which they can use. It's not necessarily the prime minister of Romania's people who did this, but a troll or hater.
Next time if/when making a video like this about buying views ask for expert help to explain how things work, it's not that simple anymore. Long gone are the days of bots or click-farms (they still exist but results are very bad as RUclips has gotten good at detecting them) now it is more complicated and in my opinion better for creators who want to buy them. There are tiers of view quality outside RUclips advertisements. The more expensive ones come from advertising networks for one and there are numerous different sources and methods. I completely agree with this statement from some previous comment "So, Google isn't opposed to the selling of views on RUclips. They're only against it if they're not getting the money." The RUclips views might be better targeted if you really know what you're doing. Other than that there is little to no difference, only in price.
Awesome vid, good to see someone is testing methods to grow like this. It's tough to get genuine engagement these days. I've shifted towards making my content and videos better, and famegrowers have been a big help, especially with monetization. I'm now a RUclips partner and can finally make some cash from my passion.
Years ago, say 2015-2020 I used to get gigantic organic traffic spikes around 3 weeks after paid views...the returns were almost 10x....looks like they fixed that bug now
Buying views outside RUclips, Google and face book, buying views is what is happening with all these “Invalid Views” epidemic on RUclips. The best way to grow is to let it happen naturally. Never ever pay for easy views. Invalid views will take years to work itself out of your analytics, I did it 3 years ago for a few months and only now an I ranking for my niches: gaming and movie reviews. Don’t be tempted, it took almost 2 years for it to run its course.
@@Lord_The_Dragon unfortunately Good is objective. One thing i would recommend is working on your thumbnails & making the tiles a bit more catchy. Always ask yourself, "Would i click on this video?" 2nd, you have to make more relevant videos. If nobody knows the game you're playing, they won't search for it and RUclips won't know who to suggest the video to. Even with 1590 subscribers, it's hard for me to get 100 views. Even on relevant videos like star field.
Should mention: "Subscribers and watch-time earned through a Promotion do not contribute towards RUclips Partner Program eligibility." AKA you can't just buy your way to RUclips's monetisation requirements with the YT Promotions or Google Ads. EDIT: I've done some testing on a brand new, unmonetised channel, and it seems like RUclips are lying. Despite their official disclaimer, right now [November, 2023] the subscribers you get through these methods DO count towards the YPP requirements. Do what you will with that information...
Do a video on (Rpm). And what REAL channels make on REAL views here. I have under 30,000 subscribers. I do not inflate anything. My RPM average per month is always over $10.00. I see $15.00 RPM's on uploads on launch a few times a month. 100,000 views for me is no less than $1000.00. And can be as much as $1,400.00. People who buy views make under $5.00 per 1000 views. And most likely $2 or $3. There is that big of a difference between a REAL channel.....and an inflated channel.
13:44 I actually had a really strange experience with this a while back. Either youtube did something really strange or someone decided to view-bot my most popular video, and out of nowhere it got an extra one million views over the course of two days. However, the amount of subscribers gained and revenue didn't go up at all, and along with this the retention rate completely died. After about two days, the video had all of those views automatically removed and the retention rate went back to what it previously was, but the video took a pretty substantial hit in terms of viewership for a couple weeks afterwards before returning to what it was doing before and is now performing well for such an old video. If you know of any other creators this has happened to I would love to know about it
Cpl things come to mind. People messing with you. The company who did it put your channel info instead of actual target. Gave you views by mistake. Some haters will say its the you're just covering your ass argument.
There was a Spiffing Brit video on this, a competition can run ads on your behalf without your consent and target to the complete opposite of people you are trying to reach. This will mean your video does badly and their video is more likely to show up in organic searches, specifically if it’s a new game relaxes video or something, the competitor may have wanted top spot, so nuked everyone else videos.
@@MrEelement the video got directly ripped off by a channel with a million subs three days later, I didn't have hard proof so I didn't say anything but if there aren't any other ways for something like that to happen I'm not sure what other explanations there are, especially since the vid was based on a fairly old game
Probably worth mentioning the caveat on YT promotion traffic. "Subscribers and watch-time earned through a promotion do not contribute towards RUclips Partner Program eligibility."
This just confirms everything from RUclips to Live streaming. You can fake it until you make it. I’ll stick my grind no matter how long it takes me! I’ll get there one day and I’ll get there doing it legit!
One thing I've noticed with promotions however was that whenever I've bought one my entire channel seemed to be getting a boost not only the video being promoted. Which was weird.
I bought the YT Promotion for my first video, I was on 121 subscribers. I put 25€ for budget and let it run for 2 weeks. Ended 1st of oct 2023. YT says that I got 2,2k views and 244 subscribers through that promotion. But I actually gained a lot more subscribers and am now on 592 which means I actually gained around 470 subscribers in that 2 week period. While it sounds great, getting all these subs, but it actually doesnt make you feel good and accomplished. Mixed feelings with that. Great video explaining all that!
My channel is by no means huge, but it's 100% organic. My channel is 8 years old and has amassed nearly 28 million views. I've uploaded 6,400+ views in 8 years. I treat my channel like a business. I've made a lot of mistakes, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished.
Dude that is so awesome. Been trying to view my channel as a business as well. Currently trying to to narrow in my brand/niche. In what particular ways did viewing your channel as a business change your approach?
@ I uploaded two videos every day for 8 years. I never cared what the sub count was. I learned if I had fun making my videos, people had fun watching them. I focused on having fun.
For most it wil never work out financially, just have some fun with it instead :) --Have soon 20k subs, 30k views a month about 25USD month revenue :D :D
Bit old but I assume I just got recommended this video and I live in Estonia. I don't know if you have advertised this video but there is a chance it somewhat carries over to other videos as well since I have never heard of you. I would say I rarely ever click on the ads in RUclips, mostly by accident. This was a very interesting watch, nice structure, good information, subscribed!
Great video. Super informative. I'm a CPA and I started a finance YoutTube channel, I gotta be honest it's been tough seeing any tangible growth. Anyways, keep the up good work!
for the youtube promotion feature, they actually used to have better target viewer options, you used to be able to select what type of content they liked
You may specialise in this content but you sure as hell made something so complex, so digestible for the viewer. Great articulation of everything & made all the boring numbers sound so much more interesting. As a result, you've earnt yourself a very loyal organic subscriber who will support & share your work. Appreciate you, mate.
this comment in its self is so indigestable, over articulated and grammatically fked up that as a reasult im aslo starting to lose all coumuniticationalal skills as I type my equally as pointless paragragh of a comment. p.s. your mum -gottem
If truly think about this, you’re really paying to get eyes on your channel. So, If you can get the cheapest cost per subscriber, then those people are more likely to be shown your video again in browse or suggested and gain organic views in the future. I feel like this is the most valuable ROI for ads if you aren’t actually selling anything. I vote the promotion method! Great video
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for....

Great video man!! The commitment you had for this video is insane!! Been watching your videos for a few weeks now and loving them. Keep up the grind brotha!
Watched all the way to the end, amazing, answered a lot of my questions as I was considering looking at promoting my small channel via RUclips or Google - Thank you.
generally think that problem with people doing RUclips is lack of strategy. They come up with ideas and upload them and post them straight away. They may be motivated for a couple months and may upload 40 videos in that time. 40 videos could be 40 or 20 weeks instead of 2/3 months. Post them consistently (and use a bit of Famester as well), don't post everything straight away. This also helps avoid burn out...
Absolutely stellar content! It's eye-opening to see the real implications of buying views contrasted with genuine growth. The dedication in producing this video reflects your commitment to authenticity. This isn't just a video, it's an education. As they say, true success isn't bought but earned, and you, my friend, are earning every bit of it. Keep enlightening the RUclips community! 🌟
Well he ain't wrong, this is truly educational and the man spent 100k to prove it ? Are you deaf or something can't recognize quality stuff anymore? brain rotten? Think this is automated as well? Suck me - Says chatgpt. I'm just a bot! Lookatme@@darren45-54
This response has the best grammar, non inflammatory use of language and is the finest ass kissing I have ever seen on a YT Comment. The use of sentence structure makes me think of the many hours spent having discussions with different AI's.
Im just uploading daily and consistent. Thats the key. And do it because you like it. Not because you want to become the biggest. Im only at 300 subscribers but i really love the people that are already watching. Even if its not that many
Dont worry guys if we just keep pushing we will make it and we wont even need to buy promotion! Just grind and keep making good content! Good luck to all!❤🎉
No it's not. If you upload daily shorts, 3 long videos weekly with high quality you will grow. But you need to make youtube your life. And you need to choose a niche that has many people interested in but low competition. You don't need an expensive microphone or countless of editing program. The assets can be easily gained. It's easy to grow. Especially when you speak fluently. If you master the sound of your video which is 50% of your video. The other 50% is super easy.
Such a cool experiment thank you for making this video. Very informative and should be a thing that more people should know about. Glad its getting out there that it is clearly not worth it to buy your success just work for it!
I think its completely cool to buy some subs, likes etc in the beginning but only if you really have quality content. I didn't want to work my a** of just to get couple of likes. I got myself little push from Fame - ster in terms of subs and only after that my channel started to get organic traffic. Great video btw!
Of course you do, bot-san. I suspected you're a bot because of your AI-like comment so I ran your display picture through an AI detection tool. Turns out the image is AI generated and by extension, so is the comment.
Content creators ! Stay consistent! Yeah it might be slow & hard . But don’t give up ! People will see your work ethic & it will be worth it in the long run !
As time goes by and this video gains traction, it would be really interesting to measure the boost it gives you with subscribers views and watch hours, compared to what happened when you bought views. How much work was it to produce this video?
And now time (a couple of months) has passed, and this video has over a million views. (And the channel has 180K subs, but I don't know where it was when the video was uploaded.)
Why so little people are talking about boosting? I think it's completely harmless if you are using it reasonably. You can't get 100k ofc but getting some small amount of views and likes from time to time just to stay relevant on this platform I believe its completely cool. (Personally used fame ster and never regret it)
Because advertising is still a problem, it's still basically shouting at people. Sure it builds awareness, but it doesn't build organic fans, which are the only thing that will carry your brand long-term.
@@arranmc182 it's the same problem though. "The only long term currency is trust" - Seth Godin Sponsor pays for slot on video with high views, but gets no return because that video has low engagement because it's not organic, sponsor will never use you again. Bridge burnt. And guess what that sponsor was a subsidiary of a bigger group, so now you've burnt multiple bridges.
The problem is no one wants to really work for it. Everyone thinks they can make a career out of youtube. There are more youtube channels then there are tv channels, tv shows in the world....
Its very important to include that subs and watch time hours from the new youtube promotions does NOT count towards your eligibility for youtube partner. Just wanted to share that bit of info
Great video! I really have a question. For someone with less than $5,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach?
I agreed, investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I'm guided by Daniel Adams Bailey. for years and highly recommend him I focus on him. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
As a YT creator myself this is a bit...well...frustrating. I spend 10-20 hours a week making short video clips and then editing those clips into a video, then publishing them on YT. All of my subscribers, views, etc. are organic. And, it's slow. Someone could spend less time, but has a hefty bank account, and could easily blow by my numbers just by buying their numbers. Something just doesn't set well about this.
Paid views are not recurring views, organic is more loyal, at least that's what I got from this video, well, that and don't waste money on ads, buy yourself a coffee and keep doing what you already do, entertain your loyal viewers, I'll smash the subscribe just because..
Out of curiosity I decided to search for the site which you blurred the top in the beginning of the video, It took me maybe 2 minutes to find the site you spoke of here. Of course I'd never use something like that but I do like watching vids like this though. Thanks for the vid. I just "Liked & Subscribed" :)
If you buy you will have to keep buying in my mind, all those places send atleast 10% bot traffic. If you are bringing people to your channel that have no interest in your content to begin with then it does more damage then good.😅
Appreciate this video. I'm glad I came across it. I'm a new RUclips Content Creator. Learning all about this new landscape and medium, that I find myself in.
Interesting experiment! It's eye-opening to see the detailed breakdown of costs and analytics for buying RUclips views. The targeted instream ads seem like a smart approach for attracting a higher quality audience despite the higher cost. The infeed ads reducing friction makes sense, but it comes at a price. Overall, great insights into the world of view buying methods.
I started my channel a long time ago to showcase experiments with programming and a few years back I pivoted to making scary story videos to see what would happen. I've never paid for promotion or clicks, through RUclips or elsewhere, and so far my experiences with The Algorithm have been pretty...random. Videos I thought were very similar in terms of content and quality could get anywhere between 10 and a few thousand views, and it seems I randomly fall in and out of favor with The Algorithm over timescales of several weeks. I'm not sure I'll ever pay for anything, but it's interesting to learn about what's out there. Thanks for this illuminating video!
This seems to be the best video ive seen about youtube growth in a LONG time. SOOO many are click bait, or selling something, or just talking about drama fluff something like "is youtube dying? can you make it as a new youtuber in 2024???" blah blah blah. hate it all. This one is like the results from a scientific research paper, just laid out clearly and plainly, presenting the facts, how you got them, and your informed opinion and why you have that opinion with logical explanations. Ill be checking out some other videos and hopefully the content is as top tier.
Really interesting experiment. I actually was wondering how this worked and how prevalent it is in youtube. One of my videos blew up (for my standards) but nothing really happened with the rest. I've been trying to figure out how that happened, but the vast majority of the views are through browse features or suggested videos. Kinda strange and I wonder how many people have this happen with their videos.
@@sunsetshadow Yeah, August 29th-30th specifically for me. I didn't know that was something that was happening for others as well. Thanks for the information.
I have one video which is consistently getting about 1000 views/day since halfway through September. The other 2 videos in my "daily top 3" on my channel get about 100 and 50 views per day :P That popular video is a piano version of a popular song, so I guess it makes sense. Not sure how long its popularity will last, but it's fun to see!
very interesting topic and thoroughly covered. nicely done! but at least as impressive is the video itself. the edits and style simply smack. entertaining and engaging without going overboard. bravo good sir! :)
This speaks more about youtube and algorithm, how impossible it is to achieve youtuber success. No one giving you a chance and youtube isn't really interested in you to begin with but needs you because it pays their bottom line. Tech should be paying users and consumers. Samsung and Apple, Google, and MS, should pay us a dividend for using their products. We don't really own our tech gadgets by them, every user is treated like a buy in beta tester. So this shows how difficult it is period to get noticed by their algorithm. Awesome content !

Great articulation of everything & made all the boring numbers sound so much more interesting. As a result, you've earnt yourself a very loyal organic subscriber who will support & share your work. Appreciate you, mate.
this comment in its self is so indigestable, over articulated and grammatically fked up that as a reasult im aslo starting to lose all coumuniticationalal skills as I type my equally as pointless paragragh of a comment. p.s.

How do you know you were organic? 😉
How do we know you're not a bot trying to gaslight a human?!?@@Shocker99
yea how u know ur orgganic? ur name kinda sus tho.. ngl
@@MariyoWz - bruv, your name sounds like a barcode
If truly think about this, you’re really paying to get eyes on your channel. So, If you can get the cheapest cost per subscriber, then those people are more likely to be shown your video again in browse or suggested and gain organic views in the future. I feel like this is the most valuable ROI for ads if you aren’t actually selling anything.
I vote the promotion method!
Great video
This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever read
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for....
@Sofia-Agne43 That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
@Sofia-Agne43 I will give this a look, thanks a bunch for sharing.
Wtf is this random bot like conversation? 😂

Great video! Your on the way to greatness
Great video man!! The commitment you had for this video is insane!! Been watching your videos for a few weeks now and loving them. Keep up the grind brotha!
no commitment. paid comment, and paid likes to your comment. I'm reporting you too
What you work hard at in all walks of life helping others usually gets payed back. this video is perfectly Legal. @@voodooaudio9488
@HoneycottDivers please stop existing
@@voodooaudio9488 What???? Bro LOL😭
Interesting from start to end! Thank you for helping other creators man🙌
Watched all the way to the end, amazing, answered a lot of my questions as I was considering looking at promoting my small channel via RUclips or Google - Thank you.
My conclusion: not so useful after all :P
@@2moonplanetbut it does answer a few questions if you were thinking about it.
@@80skidYT Yes indeed, that's why I watched it :)
Great video. Thanks for the experiment and the analytics.
Great information! Very helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience!
generally think that problem with people doing RUclips is lack of strategy. They come up with ideas and upload them and post them straight away. They may be motivated for a couple months and may upload 40 videos in that time. 40 videos could be 40 or 20 weeks instead of 2/3 months. Post them consistently (and use a bit of Famester as well), don't post everything straight away. This also helps avoid burn out...
Amazing video man. Thanks so much for doing all that work.
Absolutely stellar content! It's eye-opening to see the real implications of buying views contrasted with genuine growth. The dedication in producing this video reflects your commitment to authenticity. This isn't just a video, it's an education. As they say, true success isn't bought but earned, and you, my friend, are earning every bit of it. Keep enlightening the RUclips community! 🌟
let me do one just like this, one moment
i should get paid instead, i don't mind doing robot work to earn money (let me know if you need one of a higher quality)
Well he ain't wrong, this is truly educational and the man spent 100k to prove it ? Are you deaf or something can't recognize quality stuff anymore? brain rotten? Think this is automated as well? Suck me - Says chatgpt. I'm just a bot! Lookatme@@darren45-54
wonder what if someone else bots your video and it can be taken down from youtube? would not make sense
This response has the best grammar, non inflammatory use of language and is the finest ass kissing I have ever seen on a YT Comment. The use of sentence structure makes me think of the many hours spent having discussions with different AI's.
The fact he was so worried about getting scammed on bot views but then paid 88k in Google advertising is mind blowing.
LOL!

Im just uploading daily and consistent. Thats the key.
And do it because you like it. Not because you want to become the biggest.
Im only at 300 subscribers but i really love the people that are already watching. Even if its not that many
this video WAS SO!!! helpful! awesome work on the video and its content!!
Dont worry guys if we just keep pushing we will make it and we wont even need to buy promotion! Just grind and keep making good content! Good luck to all!❤🎉
You have 158 keep going!!❤
😂😂 We on the way 🥳
Heck yeah! We'll get there soon!
How much time 😅😅😢
❤
This video really helps alot and it's really entertaining to watch. Thanks ❤
Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
RUclips is like a pay to win game
Literally every social media app where you tryna gain notoriety on
No it's not. If you upload daily shorts, 3 long videos weekly with high quality you will grow. But you need to make youtube your life. And you need to choose a niche that has many people interested in but low competition. You don't need an expensive microphone or countless of editing program. The assets can be easily gained. It's easy to grow. Especially when you speak fluently. If you master the sound of your video which is 50% of your video. The other 50% is super easy.
Heavenly Father I pray that you keep the person reading this alive , safe, healthy and financially blessed…

Such a cool experiment thank you for making this video. Very informative and should be a thing that more people should know about. Glad its getting out there that it is clearly not worth it to buy your success just work for it!

2:06 your email isn't blurred entirely. You can easily see your email if you play it at .25 speed and pause it... you may want to fix that my friend.
You could have just emailed him
How can he fix it now ? Like can he edit this video while it’s still live ?
@@EcomDetective Live? Its a recording that has been edited. All he has to do is fix the blur with editing and re-uplaod over this video.
@libtrs838 how do you reupload OVER a video?
It might not be his real email though? But good catch
Such a great video! Thank you!🙏
Nice to know for growing a channel. Thanks for all your research!
I think its completely cool to buy some subs, likes etc in the beginning but only if you really have quality content. I didn't want to work my a** of just to get couple of likes. I got myself little push from Fame - ster in terms of subs and only after that my channel started to get organic traffic. Great video btw!
LOL PURE FOOLISHNESS
Of course you do, bot-san. I suspected you're a bot because of your AI-like comment so I ran your display picture through an AI detection tool. Turns out the image is AI generated and by extension, so is the comment.
@@SalmanKhan-pk5wo you have too much time to waste bruv... XD
@@LindaNystormnah, you're just fake
Your a bot you have no vids 🤓
Content creators ! Stay consistent! Yeah it might be slow & hard . But don’t give up ! People will see your work ethic & it will be worth it in the long run !
As time goes by and this video gains traction, it would be really interesting to measure the boost it gives you with subscribers views and watch hours, compared to what happened when you bought views. How much work was it to produce this video?
And now time (a couple of months) has passed, and this video has over a million views. (And the channel has 180K subs, but I don't know where it was when the video was uploaded.)
great information bro..good job!👍👍
Great stuff, man. Thank you.
Wow! Great video. Kuddos for putting so much effort into making it.
This is a phenomenal concept bro love this content
Why so little people are talking about boosting? I think it's completely harmless if you are using it reasonably. You can't get 100k ofc but getting some small amount of views and likes from time to time just to stay relevant on this platform I believe its completely cool. (Personally used fame ster and never regret it)
Because advertising is still a problem, it's still basically shouting at people. Sure it builds awareness, but it doesn't build organic fans, which are the only thing that will carry your brand long-term.
as long as you are not actively trying to brake the YT T&C then its a non issue
@@BuzzaB77 sadly to get sponsors they like to see high view numbers over subscriber counts so its a way to gain views
@@arranmc182 it's the same problem though.
"The only long term currency is trust" - Seth Godin
Sponsor pays for slot on video with high views, but gets no return because that video has low engagement because it's not organic, sponsor will never use you again. Bridge burnt.
And guess what that sponsor was a subsidiary of a bigger group, so now you've burnt multiple bridges.
The problem is no one wants to really work for it. Everyone thinks they can make a career out of youtube. There are more youtube channels then there are tv channels, tv shows in the world....
Really interesting! Thanks for the go-thru.
Thank you so much! This was very helpful!
Bro risking his entire channel for this video
He just snitched on himself to RUclips, strike incoming....😂
Did a million people watch this video??? Hmmm I wonder 🤔 😅
lmao
No 1.5 million + have viewed it.
View can be bought! youtube Marcus Jones. Everything is fake with this scammer
Hm 🤔

Loved the storytelling/format of this video. Great work 👏
Excellent video, straight to the point. Gracias!
Thanks man. Way to go.
Its very important to include that subs and watch time hours from the new youtube promotions does NOT count towards your eligibility for youtube partner. Just wanted to share that bit of info
I love your channel. Keep up the great work.. all the best Jordan. Help. Heal. Serve
If you made an effects pack for FCPX I'd buy immediately. Your videos are seriously engaging.
Thanks. Very informative. ❤
Great content and really well explained and useful insights!
Mention: Watch hours from advertising campaigns don't count toward RUclips monetization.
Great video! I really have a question. For someone with less than $5,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach?
There are actually strategies that could be put in place for colossal gains, but such execution is usually carried out by financial experts
I agreed, investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
Nice. those who work with expert typically earn more than those who go it alone.
ambitious! who is this advsor guiding you? i'm seeking for a more effective growth approach on my savings
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I'm guided by Daniel Adams Bailey. for years and highly recommend him I focus on him. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
As a YT creator myself this is a bit...well...frustrating. I spend 10-20 hours a week making short video clips and then editing those clips into a video, then publishing them on YT. All of my subscribers, views, etc. are organic. And, it's slow. Someone could spend less time, but has a hefty bank account, and could easily blow by my numbers just by buying their numbers. Something just doesn't set well about this.
Paid views are not recurring views, organic is more loyal, at least that's what I got from this video, well, that and don't waste money on ads, buy yourself a coffee and keep doing what you already do, entertain your loyal viewers, I'll smash the subscribe just because..
I really like this guy and im over the moon with the content... man you got it
Out of curiosity I decided to search for the site which you blurred the top in the beginning of the video, It took me maybe 2 minutes to find the site you spoke of here. Of course I'd never use something like that but I do like watching vids like this though. Thanks for the vid. I just "Liked & Subscribed" :)
To be honest, buying your way on the youtube does not sound too good, I believe natural good content always works sooner or later.
If you buy you will have to keep buying in my mind, all those places send atleast 10% bot traffic. If you are bringing people to your channel that have no interest in your content to begin with then it does more damage then good.😅
You spent $80k!!! that's is insane!
Even though it may seem easy to just buy views I'd rather continue in a genuine way. Even though it can be frustrating
Appreciate this video. I'm glad I came across it. I'm a new RUclips Content Creator. Learning all about this new landscape and medium, that I find myself in.
That’s some great information right there. Thanks!
i ended up watching the full video. amazing content! thank you 🙏

Interesting experiment! It's eye-opening to see the detailed breakdown of costs and analytics for buying RUclips views. The targeted instream ads seem like a smart approach for attracting a higher quality audience despite the higher cost. The infeed ads reducing friction makes sense, but it comes at a price. Overall, great insights into the world of view buying methods.
I started my channel a long time ago to showcase experiments with programming and a few years back I pivoted to making scary story videos to see what would happen. I've never paid for promotion or clicks, through RUclips or elsewhere, and so far my experiences with The Algorithm have been pretty...random. Videos I thought were very similar in terms of content and quality could get anywhere between 10 and a few thousand views, and it seems I randomly fall in and out of favor with The Algorithm over timescales of several weeks. I'm not sure I'll ever pay for anything, but it's interesting to learn about what's out there.
Thanks for this illuminating video!
Keep grinding guys! Never give up 🔥
Every positive comment you get is just bots you paid for
His videos are the most incredible and a must to subscribe to his channel. I am a paid bot and the channel owner approved this message
This seems to be the best video ive seen about youtube growth in a LONG time. SOOO many are click bait, or selling something, or just talking about drama fluff something like "is youtube dying? can you make it as a new youtuber in 2024???" blah blah blah. hate it all. This one is like the results from a scientific research paper, just laid out clearly and plainly, presenting the facts, how you got them, and your informed opinion and why you have that opinion with logical explanations.
Ill be checking out some other videos and hopefully the content is as top tier.
how much he pay you for this?
It is a total waste of time! Hollow subs mean nothing! YT promotions lowers retention and welcomes bots. Avoid
We really appreciate your work and money you spent to put all this together. It's a VERY valuable video and thanks for sharing.
Ah, great video, might try a lil smth for a mini boost not sure yet but defo gonna be mostly organic!
Every negative comment you get is genuine
Wdym
RUclips agents watching this rn 👀
I am a paid viewer, and I approve of this message 👍
Cool analysis. I'm 6 minutes in. Would have liked to know what the videos were that you bought views for and how they compared to each other.
From Thailand 😊 Thanks for the interesting info
We subbed from USA
Really interesting experiment. I actually was wondering how this worked and how prevalent it is in youtube. One of my videos blew up (for my standards) but nothing really happened with the rest. I've been trying to figure out how that happened, but the vast majority of the views are through browse features or suggested videos. Kinda strange and I wonder how many people have this happen with their videos.
Did that happen in August? I've been following the "invalid click" or "invalid traffic" problem that hit many creators around that time.
@@sunsetshadow Yeah, August 29th-30th specifically for me. I didn't know that was something that was happening for others as well. Thanks for the information.
I have one video which is consistently getting about 1000 views/day since halfway through September. The other 2 videos in my "daily top 3" on my channel get about 100 and 50 views per day :P That popular video is a piano version of a popular song, so I guess it makes sense. Not sure how long its popularity will last, but it's fun to see!
I pray that everyone growing their channel, i hope one day will eventually get what they really deserve ❤
very interesting topic and thoroughly covered. nicely done! but at least as impressive is the video itself. the edits and style simply smack. entertaining and engaging without going overboard. bravo good sir! :)
This speaks more about youtube and algorithm, how impossible it is to achieve youtuber success. No one giving you a chance and youtube isn't really interested in you to begin with but needs you because it pays their bottom line. Tech should be paying users and consumers. Samsung and Apple, Google, and MS, should pay us a dividend for using their products. We don't really own our tech gadgets by them, every user is treated like a buy in beta tester.
So this shows how difficult it is period to get noticed by their algorithm.
Awesome content !
Anyone who is reading this will be successful, don't give up
