i wouldnt buy watch hours if the goal is building a channel you actually want to monetize long term.
even if a service manages to make the numbers move, you're basically reaching the threshold without fixing the reason the channel isnt getting enough watch time organically.
i'd rather find the 2-3 videos already giving you the best average view duration and make more around those topics/formats. hitting monetization a little later with real viewers is much better than reaching the number fast and then still having no audience.

I wouldn’t buy watch hours. Even if the hours show up, they can be removed or cause problems when YouTube reviews the channel for monetization. I’d focus on videos that keep people watching longer and use Shorts to bring in new viewers, then push them toward the longer videos.

So you don't even have an idea for content, and you're already looking to scam youtube? lol Good start.
If you want to make money on youtube from your content, then expect something you might not know about yet. Hard work. You can't just buy your way to succcess, and expect to be a successful content creator, if you have to buy non working youtube scamming views, then your content and ideas suck.
There is no shortcut. You can work on trending topics, add some value to your content, and, most importantly, be consistent. Buying watch hours is just a scam. I tried it 3 years ago, but it was not beneficial. It's a waste of money.

Hey. I wouldn’t buy watch hours. Even if the numbers go up, low-quality or artificial traffic can hurt the channel and won’t necessarily help with monetization. I’d focus on getting real viewers through searchable topics, good titles/thumbnails, and consistent uploads.

Monetization these days has become really tough. As per the new update from YouTube, the criteria to monetize is 8000 watch hours. It's not implemented yet, but it's a future update. So just post regular and entertaining content.

Yes, I think you shouldn't. You don't want your channel to fall through right from the start because it looks very artificial. Focus on building a channel that you want to monetize long-term and stably according to real-world interaction rules. Attracting viewers will be more effective when you have trust, good quality, and engaging content.

Buying watch hours is much more quicker than waiting for your videos to blow up, but what you need to keep in mind is ...do not just spam watch hours on random 1 hour videos, you need to do this in a natural pattern, that is add multiple 4-5 mins videos, bot them with relative views, subs and likes and then you can send the watch hours to the multiple 1 hour videos , also send subscribers and other engagements relative to the watch hours your adding in these videos.
