My way that I use bots and ads to grow a channel .
This is the system that’s worked for me after tons of trial and error.
First, I’m not an expert in any BHW category, but I’ve learned what actually delivers results. My strategy is all about combining numbers and interaction to make a channel look active and credible. I buy high-retention views, likes, and subscribers gradually so the growth appears natural. I also add strategic comments—opinions, questions, or compliments—and reply to some of them to create the feel of an active community. The key is keeping it proportional: for example, 10,000 views with around 200 likes and 20-30 comments. The trick is not to go overboard—keep it gradual and organic so it doesn’t look fake or raise any red flags.
Now, here’s why this works: the psychology of social proof. People trust and follow what seems popular. If they stumble upon a channel with views, likes, and comments, they’re more likely to stick around, watch, and even subscribe. For new channels with little engagement, this principle is a game-changer—it helps break through that initial ‘nobody cares’ phase and kickstarts real growth. When done right, this snowballs as more organic users interact with your content.
But I don’t stop there. I combine this with paid YouTube Ads to bring in real views. One important rule: never use bots on the same video you’re promoting. Mismatched metrics like retention or CTR can ruin the effectiveness of your ad campaign. Instead, I carefully target ads to people genuinely interested in my niche. When they see a channel with solid social proof (even if some of it’s from bots), they’re much more likely to interact and subscribe. Ads amplify the bot effect, making the channel look even more legit and accelerating growth.
There are probably better and faster ways to grow a channel, but like I said, I’m just a reader of this forum, not a pro. In the end, it’s really just about thinking: What’s the most realistic way people would interact? That’s the mindset that makes this strategy work for me.
