How much does it matter to use an old channel?

[wilfy]

I want to start a new channel and I have like 50 google accounts with channels from 2012-2014 or something. They are empty. I would use them but im paranoid since i've used these accounts to subscribe and like my own videos and comment on my main channel. Can the google pick this up or I can delete the comments, unsub and dislike from the account I will use and start uploading videos?

If you are going for something legit, I don't think it matters whether or not you use an old channel
The only thing to watch out for is when you get the new channel to the point were monetization is possible, since google doesn't allow multiple adsense accounts

Aged youtube accounts work very well when starting a channel. You won't have problems

But what about me using these accounts to give like and comment on my own videos? im sure Youtube can see the browser fingerprint and IP range are the same.

I will be using the same Adsense account.

I think you can use them without any issue , 50 it's very low.

Don't do that, youtube algorithm is well advanced now. It won't work well

now not easy

Aged youtube accounts are better because the bots from youtube don't pay much atenttion

So I should avoid using any of these gmail accounts?

Not necessarily, nothing will happen. YouTube won't suspend or shadowban you because you've liked videos of another channel which in this case happen to be also yours. You're good to go

If it's old and unused channel, there's no problem. If it's other way round, then a new channel may serve you well

Old or new accounts, try to bypass the bots

No, the Gmail accounts are still very useful. It depends on how you use them for social signals. Find a way to avoid your fingerprints getting detected by YouTube bots.

unless you havent used it for any dodgy stuffs, you can use old accounts.

What i found early on is that Google is fkn smart. They wont block you or anything but they can detect that it´s "you" giving yourself likes and views. If you overdo this, lets say you upload a new video and view and like it with all your channels, the worst thing that will happen is that they delete the views and likes again. Happened to me before. But other than that i did not run into any problems. I think you can work around that with a VPN and inkognito windows but honestly, it´s not worth the hassle.

don't worry about it, it's not like you're using 10k account to boost your main channel. google won't even care about your 50 likes/comments/subscribe anyway. I have couple hundreds of old channel like this and sometimes I use some to boost my other channel, and then I put content into the channel, no punishment from google. think it like this, if you're running a restaurant, and a small ant stealing one piece of rice, would you even think about it?
