Is seo still important for you tube videos in 2026?

nope, it's useless, just write "uoteheroeh3094834390" as your next youtube video title and it's fine

just to be someone not answering the same obvious answer, this kind of post must be some kind of dog whistle to attract newbies and spammers

Sure, I am focused on YouTube SEO. It helps the video rank. Good title, descriptions, # tags, and thumbnails. These help the YouTube algorithm understand your content.
