I have a demonetized channel that pulls tons of views but I dont want to delete the videos since that would destroy the channel and make me even more depressed, what do I do? its all whitehat and demonetized due this nonsense:
I cannot even create new channels because they will demonetize them due "related channel". I dont know how to get another Adsense to fully isolate another new channel. LLC and business adsense is too complicated, and whats the point if im making 0$. I dont trust other people with carrying an Adsense account or telling them about making money on the internet so im screwed I dont know what to do.

I keep hearing the same thing and the opposite. So use aged account or not? Looks like everyone is just making things up.

@YoutubeScientist Could you Please answer this:
I have started a new channel, I found an old aged empty account, great, then I realized this: The "advanced features" are disabled. They ask for phone verification + one of these:
-ID
-Video verification
-Channel history
Of course, channel history seems better, however, what does that even mean? How much does it take to get the channel history good enough that they enable verification? You cannot even request monetization for this (beside less important things like pinning comments) so I need this.
I was also hit with age verification thing. They ask for
-ID
-Selfie
-Credit card
-VerifyMe (they scan all of your email to see if the ID thinks you are 18+)
This is so fucked up, but I don't see any way around this. What is the best method?
Also, im paranoid to start uploading and waste my videos because maybe if you don't have Advanced features enabled + Age verification enabled you get viewthrottled or something.
I don't get how people manage numerous channels nowadays. I only want to manage a second one because the first one was demonetized an I don't know how to monetize it again and I dont want to delete a bunch of videos for nothing like I said, that is why I just left them there and I want to start from scratch and on step one im getting all these problems already.
I want to lower the chances that they hit me with this "related channel" demonetization bullshit as much as possible. So I will be using different phone number, email, and I will be uploading from the laptop just in case. I will be using the same AdSense I was using back then because unfortunately I don't know how to get a second one and just hope that they leave me alone if they find it's the same one. It's all whitehat content so it's brutal when they just ruin endless hours of work for nothing.
So hw do people deal with all these verifications nowadays? Specially people that work at scale. I don't see how it's viable unless you have a CMS and you can spawn monetized channels left and right, otherwise chances are you screw up eventually, as AI is now randomly demonetizing people, and then everything is linked into the same spot, because along the way, you will have required to do age verifications as well as verifications for the "Advanced features".
Btw does this guy post here anymore or im wasting my time? looks like he is gone since january.

My answers come from years of experience, testing, and information shared by other creators. They are based on real observations and data, but they are not official scientific studies.

There is still another tip: u can add a different email, but that email needs to be the primary owner of a channel with 3 green verifications. Just add it, wait 7 days, and then change its role from manager to primary owner. You won't need to do step 3 at all. It sounds like a waste of time, but not if you verify everything before you use them (like a ready-made channel lol). Hope this is useful for u guys!

I dont get it. You are linking the channels by doing that anyway isn't it. And I only have 1 channel with the 3 green checkmarks, so no way to do this anyway (and I don't want to link the main monetized channel with this new channel by adding it as manager)

it's possible that you could have a shadowban or flag.
so If you have the zero views problem even after uploading for a while, then I'd advise you to work with a different channel.
buy aged account > rent a new vps that has new ip, or, use anti detect browser like dolphin anty > login to channel > add new phone number if needed.
you need to use everything new, just to make sure that any previous flags don't carry over.
youtube should think that the new channel is a different person.
you can run multiple of these channels using dolphin anty or vps.
yes you can gather watch hours from live streams, but there's a catch.
you won't gain any watch hours on your channel, if it comes via 'unprocessed streams'.
if your stream is longer than about 15 to 17 hours, then that stream will become 'unprocessed'. this means you cannot play back the stream.
such streams may show watch hours on the video analytics, but it won't count towards your public watch hours or even watch hours required for monetization.
so if you need the watch hours from streams to count, you have to do 'processed streams', which means streams that have shorter length, eg: 2 to 12 hours.
run the stream for no longer than 12 hours, then it will get saved to the channel.

One thing ppl miss with Shorts is 0 views can be just no seed test, not always a ban. If the same format gets 0 across like 5-10 uploads then yeah, stop burning good clips there and test another channel, but if it’s random then titles/thumbnails won’t fix much because Shorts mostly needs that first push + retention. Buying views/unlist-relist is mostly cope now imo, it can make the stats dirtier instead of helping. @DarrellTreyTrey 1/day is cleaner for reading data, but for meme/reddit stuff 2-3/day for a week gives faster signal... just kill anything that can’t hold avg viewed high.

Their secret is not that hard:
(1) they seem to be doing shorts live. you get a lot of views on that.
(2) point 2 is the main thing. just because you do 'shorts live', does not automatically guarantee that you will get high views like these guys.
The main trick is them testing multiple channels. Either they are someone lucky that blew up with one of the lucky channels, or they are someone who is already experienced in spamming. And such people already know the method of working with multiple channels until they get results.
Out of every 100 channels, there will always be a few that will get abnormal results. this is just the nature of the platform. If they gave a clear predictable way for everyone to succeed, then it would allow for spammers to 'game' the system. for this reason they have mechanisms in place like 'randomization' where ranking can get randomized.
The reason why some people get 'exponential success' despite not doing much hardwork or doing anything special is due to 'survivorship bias'.
So in summary, if you want to replicate what these guys are doing, then treat youtube channels as a game of 'lottery'. Not all channels will succeed (unlikely). Buy multiple channels, and isolate each of them on different VPS servers or in anti detect browsers, with different ips -- and then test each of them with content that's likely to blow up. Keep the channels that do well and trash the rest.
Yep. its not a ban in all cases. sometimes the content is just not good and cant hold viewer attention long enough.

(1) if the channel's algo is active then it could take a 3 to 4 weeks, but sometimes it could be immediate and happen within a few uploads. if the algo is dead, you should also try uploading for 3 to 4 weeks to warm up and test. if it still barely gets new traffic or the right audience, then switch to a different channel.
(2) if the channel is not flagged or limited, then adding views and likes could help to some degree (depends on channel's algo). But usually people add likes and custom comments. views may not be needed.
(3) add 50 to 100 likes per video for a few weeks until you start gaining traffic and then slowly increase to 200-250, then 500, and so on. a natural pattern will be less suspicious to the algo.
(4) Aged accounts have an advantage because they are accounts made on different ip addresses, and phone numbers etc. Every channel on youtube is not treated exactly the same. some channels will randomly get more lucky and blow up right from the beginning.
if you make your own channels using new gmails on your own pc and if youtube is already limiting your channel how much traffic exposure you will get, then it does not matter how many gmails you create, they will all likely be limited to some degree.
