While I get the appeal of buying a YouTube channel as a shortcut, the potential issues are too numerous. from the high probability of losing your audience due to a change in voice and content, to even getting banned or buying a botted account. It is always better to start a new channel and grow...

For me, it was getting my watch time up and that was down to it being a completely new niche for me. I had to find better ways to write scripts. Found something online that helped a lot.
