are youtube shorts views still boostable with multiple accounts?

[altstacker88]

a while back i was running multiple accounts to boost views on my own shorts. Iid run the videos on loop, let them finish, and sometimes toss in a like or reply just to mimic real behavior. It actually worked pretty well. I’d see some momentum within an hour or two. tried doing the same thing recently, but it’s just not working anymore. views don’t move at all. even when i switch ips, use different accounts, rotate devices, whatever, same result. so now i’m wondering, did youtube change something?

YouTube’s smarter now, fake loops and account swaps don’t boost Shorts anymore.

Yes, YouTube likely tightened its algorithm in 2025 to better detect view manipulation, including looped plays, multi-account boosting, and fake engagement, even with IP or device rotation. Views from suspected bot-like behavior are now filtered out more effectively, stalling your momentum.

There has been a lot of updates from youtube in the recent months and yeah one of the main methods they have found out is that Vietnamese and Russian botters use these mobile farms and mostly youtube must have found a counter to this is what we suspect.

Yes, YouTube’s algo got smarter loop views and basic mimic tactics don’t work like before. Need a more advanced strategy now. DM if you’re serious.

You will need to try something else, adjust your strategy, because as mentioned above, YT algorithm became smarter and it's not so easy to boost views as it was in the past
