Buying views ? New channel with almost 1 mil views in 2 videos

There is this channel : https://www.youtube.com/@itsmarichi

I would say that the content is very Good. No doubting that.

But from my experience what she achieved its impossible.

0 sub channel , 1st video published 2 weeks ago , 90.000 views in the first day , gained 100subs. (video stays over 220k views now)
Algorithm picked up the video, and she made 1000 subs.
Second video - 620.000 views in the first 2 days.

On both of her videos engagement rate is 1.5 (very low).

On my channel 4k subs I do similar content ( I would say better with a bit of comedy ) and i'll give you an example :
My video : picked up by algorithm - 130k views , 7.3k likes , 1933 comments
Her first video with 0 subs - 220k views - 3.4k likes , 327 comments.

On her second video on her channel - , 672k views in 2 days - 9.4k likes , 700 comments.


One more thing : On my 130k views video I've gained 3k subs.
She gained from 672k views 2k subs.

Something fishy is happening.

_________
My experience with new channels , I have tried to start new channels , posted 3-5 longform videos , Nothing happened , 1 month later - total views , about 200. So basically 0. And she gets almost 1 million views with 2 videos with 1.5 engagement rate.

Did she buy views/engagement/ in the start to make the algorithm pick up the video? There are channels with 500k subs that dont make that amount of views.
The engagement is very low for that amount of views. Yet , comments seem real. Seems like real people, so somehow I think she bought some kind of views and then the algo picked up the videos and started recommending them.

They might be interesting, and actively marketing their content successfully on socials. Have you considered that? Not everyone needs or tries to scam youtube with fake views. You just assume that, as thats the easiest you think to copy and earn from.

You can only spend so much time analyzing your comeptition, ultimatly, its up to you to be active and produce your content, not run around youtube looking for fishy things.

I am not saying content is not good, because it is, Yet its next to impossible to publish a video on a new channel and get 100k views in 24hours , Not a single comment on her videos as comming from somewhere else . I'm asking whats your opinion , Her videos got recommended to me and got me interested. And also I know the procces to start a youtube channel from 0 and how it goes. Also ,Im writting on this forum for opinions and , You "attack" me assuming that i think I want to copy and earn from ? I also can assume you are a reddit guy.

I haven’t examined the channel and the videos in detail, but perhaps professional websites have embedded them. This traffic and these figures are not abnormal.

Most probably they have bought views.

high views alone don’t prove that someone bought traffic I’d be more curious about where the views r coming from nd how long ppl actually watch the videos that would give a better pic of what’s going on

Well, it definitely looks like paid traffic, but good paid traffic!

If you look at the comments, they actually seem real... He doesn't only have 600k views, he also has a lot of likes.

So he must be doing something to bring that traffic. People seem to like his videos, and maybe because of that the algorithm is also showing them to more people.

Paid advertising? Paid views? Could be, but I don't think these are the typical bot views just to increase the numbers and that's it... The content is actually getting good feedback from real people.

The truth is, he's getting a pretty good impact...

I wonder, how much could he be paying for advertising? $500 per video? Because that's actually some pretty good traffic!

She's only popular because she is a girl.

I have checked the videos out. In my opinion, she isnt doing badly. Her content is just about what people are interested in. Maybe she even did SEO who know? You should study her and emulate. Also remember that a lady's face attracts more attention.
