I've noticed that when I uploaded videos with spammy titles they get flagged by youtube and taken down within 1-2 hours. I did a test of uploading a video that I stole using keepvid.com and keeping the description blank and having a generic title (for example: GTA 5). The video was up for 5 hours and not flagged. So I went in and changed the title and description to spammy stuff like "new gta 5 hack, updated 2015, working 100%" all that crap, about an hour later the video got flagged and taken down.
I'll try your method of making the titles less spammy, editing the video a bit before uploading and using the unlist method. Hoping youtube still works because right now I have no working method so need to find something fast
Also, I'm not using a PPI network. I'm actually using a CPA network and promoting surveys/offers. I put all my URL locker links on separate free landing pages though. Then put the landing page link in the description
