This is funny, back in my early days of social media marketing I would use political hatred and arguments to push my videos and rank them. Make a little slideshow video titled something like "10 Reasons Why Global Warming is NOT Real" and then private the video, post the link to every group chat on environmental protection and then wait for about 40 dislikes and 10 hate comments. Public the video and it would rank, gaining usually in the hundred of thousands of views.
Sadly the YouTube ad-pocalypse removed that method, but it was very profitable for about 3 years.
