Hi friends, I have some useful advice as someone who has recently gotten into IM and have done a lot of trial and error in the past few months with youtube mass uploading / mass accounting. I'm sure a lot of this advice has already been posted but hopefully I can contribute with a bit more depth:
1. When buying gmail accounts, ask for a sample and look at:
creation dates: You can determine this by the gmail welcome email date. avoid batches that have very close creation dates in relation to each other.
when buying aged and used accounts, check "last account activity", bottom right. Lookup IPs and avoid batches that have the same IP or IP blocks assigned to webhosting companies. Favor accounts created by residential IPs from the counties you have proxies that you plan on using on said accounts. (best IPs are Canadian, US, UK residential ISPs)
Batches that don't meet these criteria are much more prone to insta-ban without warning algorithmically or maually by staff when a user flags one of your videos (quality accounts are way more lenient when youtube staff determines if your video deserves a strike, no strike at all or age restriction. Even when a strike is cast by staff, they ban you after 3 legits strikes. unlike low quality accounts, they get instabanned.)
2. Dont just setup a proxy on your servers. Don't use proxies without first checking out who the IP block is assigned to (ie. 'whois' in linux). Blocks assigned to webhosting companies = easy ban. Use residential blocks. If you don't know how to acquire residential proxies, using your own host also works. Just make sure you always acquire a new IP. Depending on IP assignment, you can usually obtain a new IP by restarting your router. Many ISPs have long leases / static IPs based on hardware MAC. You can get assigned a new IP by spoofing your MAC. This can easily be done with a router flashed with a linux firmware. I suggest OpenWRT, you can spoof the MAC via their web interface or you can just write a script to autogen a fake mac.
If you have a batch of residential proxies, one convenient way to proxy is to create an ssh tunnel with putty and then on your server, make the default route to the internet via a proxy client that cycles your list of residential proxies in order. This will give sufficient time for reuse without you keeping tabs manually.
7. Don't use mass uploading apps, most I've seen are poorly designed and don't emulate a real human uploading. Google will instaban you. Instead, use firefox, configure it to start in privacy mode all the time and restart firefox for every new youtube account. Download the Better Privacy plugin, this will delete flash cookies upon exit. Also get User Agent Switcher.
14. If your project requires mass accounts in a short time span and you dont care about being banned, one quick way you can mass create your own gmail accounts by using google apps for business. Download a dictionary of the most common first and last names, then create a spreadsheet and write a macro to generate unique email addresses from those lists. then you can upload this spreadsheet to google apps and have 100 fresh email accounts that you just need to verify via captcha the first time you login and don't ever need to phone verify.
When they get banned, mass delete all your accounts and then upload a new list of emails. You can also associate a different domain to your apps account. I've only done this process once, all 100 accounts were banned on exactly the first day of the following month, which gave me sufficient take to reap some profit. this method is obviously only useful for specific projects.
sorry for the disorganized nature of this post
