Just out of curiosity, how many big creators are actually using tools to artificially inflate their metrics? and are those "fake" views monetizable? I've came across several very suspicious channels with very weird growth, some of which are pulling hundreds of millions of views a month strictly long form, the likes and subscribers don't match up to their overall reach, and the comments are pretty sus as well. I'm not new to the scene and don't want general advice, If you are experienced in this area please reply with your contact information, thanks.

Also, would it be silly to use a tool on a channel already making $XX,XXX / month? If you go with the right approach, i don't see why it wouldn't help reach. If you are using high quality accounts and proxies, with realistic human-like interactions, can youtube even tell?

It's not uncommon for some creators to use tools to boost their metrics, but it's a bit of a grey area. Fake views generally aren't monetizable since they don't translate into real engagement or ad revenue. As for using tools on a successful channel, it could be risky. YouTube's algorithms are pretty sharp and can detect unusual activity, so maintaining authenticity is key to long-term success.
 
well yeah, if you were to buy fake views from an smm panel, of course they wont be monetizable. but if you simulated a real view by having real accounts, high quality proxies, and a good tool to make each view look realistic, how could youtube tell? you could even warm the account up by watching other videos within your niche using keywords, so the account looks like they are actually interested in your niche. might be expensive and complicated, just curious if it would work. i could be completely wrong though
 
You could try boosting real engagement instead like collaborating with similar channels or running small paid ads to target your audience.
 
how canyou setup apps to get views, likes ect. the Chinese have them on every platform, surely AI is smart enough to click a screen and have a rotating proxie to hide IP and a browser that cant be checked.
 
Try boosting real engagement collab with similar creators or run targeted ads to reach the right audience.
 
Backpacker Ben was recently called out for inflating his videos with fake views and likes everytime he uploads a video.
 
Using residential proxies with stable IPs and antidetect browser would help, but even then, sudden changes or mismatches in geo can trigger Facebook's trust checks, so move carefully.

Yes, some big creators do use tools to inflate their reach, especially with long-form content, since YouTube’s algorithm favors watch time. What you’re describing (massive views with weak engagement) definitely smells like artificially boosted traffic. As for monetization, it can be monetizable if the views are realistic, clean IPs, legit watch time, human-like interaction. But if it’s sloppy, YouTube will eventually catch on.
If you go that route, the key is realism. Use warmed accounts, mobile proxies (they give dynamic, trustworthy IPs), and simulate human behavior, views alone won’t cut it. Proper execution is what keeps it scalable and stealthy.

Yes many big creators use tools to boost early views CTR watch time It helps trigger algo but must be done smart Fake views alone aren’t monetizable but real looking engagement from HQ setups can influence reach If you scale with clean IPs aged accts and human-like behavior YT detection is harder but risk still exists Long term use needs balance with organic growth

It is common on platforms like Instagram where you get sponsorship based on views and followers data. So they try to fake it.
