Just out of curiosity, I have been looking for pages that allow you to get watch hours for YouTube but more “organically” than just injecting bots into a video.
I came across some websites (I'm not going to include links) that for a certain amount of “credits”, you can post your own YouTube video URL and other people will need to watch your videos for about 40 seconds to then earn credits for themselves.
Also, you can earn credits by doing the same, so it's kind of “free” to get your watch hours.
It seems... okay? But I have so many questions with this.
As the views are coming from the same site and targeting directly to your YouTube video (not coming from homepage or youtube search), YouTube can easily detect unusual things there, right?
It is even worth paying for these credits and post your video?
I'm interested in paid watch hours, and to me this seems like the most organic way to do it. Even if you don't reach your goal, it's useful to pump the video a bit, right?

Have anyone ever tried this type of pages before?
Works fine?

Thanks in advance guys!

Note: I have already used the marketplace before for views and watch hours and it's pretty trash...

I did some research on this. These are called traffic exchange pages. They fucking sucks, apparently.
They direct low quality traffic to your videos, its pretty bad. You are telling youtube with this that your videos are not worth it.
Imagine 200 people go straight your video, watch 20 seconds and leave. YouTube will think your video is boring and will not recommend it.
 
Yeah, I’ve tried a couple of those “credit-based” watch hour sites. They do work to an extent, but the retention is low and patterns are still obvious to YouTube. It's not fully safe, especially for monetization goals. Good for a small boost, but I wouldn't rely on it long-term or for hitting the 4k watch hours. Better mix in some real engagement through SEO or social shares.

What other methods did you tried and worked for you?
 
Using credit-based watch hour sites may boost numbers slightly, but poor retention and obvious traffic patterns can hurt your channel's trust with youtube. Better to focus on real engagement via SEO, embeds or niche social sharing.
 
Bookmarking for reference thank you for sharing your experience.

You're right to be skeptical, those credit-based watch hour platforms usually generate very unnatural traffic footprints. If all views come from the same site or direct links, with no variation in sources, timing, or device behavior, YouTube flags that pretty fast. You might get hours added, but the trust is low and it rarely holds up for monetization.
What works better is simulating realistic watch behavior, distributed views across geos, devices, time windows, and even varied referers. That’s where mobile proxies can make a difference, helping you generate traffic that looks organic and human from YouTube’s side. It takes more setup, but it’s a far more solid play for paid watch hours that stick.
 
You won't find a successful channel that has been botted. Otherwise the content creaters that make animations would be rolling in orders, as people just magically got swept up in a cycle of "buy views and earn money" + "Buy new content"

The fact is that those that want the easy views method, usually have bad videos, and haven't stopped to think about the realistic fact that someone operating a bot farm from thailand, china, India, (even in the USA lol) doesn't care about your channel. They just want your dollars,. and then their crappy little bot program is supposed to outsmart, the tools and technology that google and youtube and others use? lol I don't bloody think so. There is nobody on BHW or anywhere with better technology and budget than these juggernaults.

Follow the rules, make money. The successful people that I studied on youtube over the years, all have talent. The noobs that I see using views on youtube, from reading their stories on BHW are all talentless. Let your talent get you spotted, that method always works. Its easy to have more talent than others with elbow grease.

That is for sure. There are different qualities when buying this type of stuff.

I mean, you are completely right. Something I expect from people buying this type of things, is some short-term success, for example when reaching the monetization threshold, but, in reality, YouTube gets 200 times more strict when you are a partner. That means, shitty bots or this kind of stuff is just not going to work.

These types of pages are not social panels (from what I saw in some videos). These are like freelancers pages, with real people. Real IPS and real YouTube accounts. They make very small tasks like watching your video for a few minutes, to earn some kind of money. I think, this can be useful to pump a video that is not getting the right CTR, but as you said, in the end, only good quality videos will make it!

All you need is reddit and other socials, post regular screen shots from your content and memes, and the actual videos in the right places, and they will take off, and people will naturally search and link your content and talk about it. There is no panel in the world that makes real and genuine interaction like having a good fan of your content really is. My animation friend has created characters around some of his fans, lol, he got them to send a photo in, and he made a cartoon of them, with funny characteristics, and a strange voice, lol. Thats where you build up your content career from the grass roots up. Catering to what your fans want and learning to grow with their desires.

This is out of curiosity, of course, and it's not related with the animation channel I'm making!
Its about other channel that I bought where the last owner bought bots for it....

I think when you really take the time to create something great, like each video takes you weeks, you are not going to bot or try workarounds for it. Even if the YouTube algorithm is super unfair sometimes.

Yes, it sucks
Low quality views from people that will never watch any of your videos again. Or even worse, just bots watching a specific amount of time
It will gives a horrible feedback for YT about your channel and videos

Better than these are Native ads views , it's known to have organic watch hours since viewers will engage with the video as they like, or else go for a good watch time service, many channels have been monetized buy just sending 4k hours and 1k subs to the channel. Find good smm panels and go for their working services and it will be fine.

Goodluck.
 
Following this thread. Also curious how it would be detected unless these services are falsely advertising their means to generate views.

I think for YouTube is pretty easy. This type of “micro tasks” sites are full of Indians, Pakistanis...ect If you ask for USA workers, they might take days to find one or the task you want to be done, will be stopped because of the absence of workers. YouTube already knows where most "bots" and similar usually come from. When they detect many views from that type of locations (when your channel is mainly USA viewers for example) they can easily kill your channel or reduce the engagement. They can´t delete the views or close the channel as this are "real" views from real people, but, they can lower your reach (practically the same to delete your channel at the end). So, at the end its not worth it at all

AH, I see. I feel like this would falsely target channels with a large South Asian audience though, no?

In the case the channel is from these countries, I guess it's kinda useful? I don't really know... The CPM is very low on this type of audience, so I think it might not be that worth it. If there were any micro tasks sites like this but with European or USA worker, that would be pretty good, not only for YouTube but for almost all social media.
