does the location where a youtube channel is created matter?

i noticed something weird with youtube, i created a new youtube channel last week for shorts, the google account is completely new, i used a vpn to germany, so i started uploading shorts i noticed most views are from germany

i checked my other channels and since i created it in my country the views are coming from my country too

so i was thinking, if we create a youtube channel, will most of our views come from origin country?

Are the content the same?
For me, most of my views comes from:
1. India 24%
2. US 10.5%
3. UK 5%
4. Pakistan 3%
5. South Africa 3%

This is a second channel and it follows the exact same pattern as the first

In theory, it doesn't matter too much, because Youtube distributes your videos around the world if you don't choose a standard language for your channel (even select). But it helps a little with monetization tricks like enabling monetization in your desired country.

Yes, views on YouTube channels usually come from the country where the account was created

It is based on your sim card phone number.
If your content is mainly in english it could go viral in those countries, but its better to have an account using a phone number from the country you would like to target.
The rest of people have no clue how youtube works.

It is safe if You create account using residential proxy and number, then create content for same location match language.
You are good to get views from target location.

YouTube is global but the country of origin matters imo.

I regularly buy channels, and some don’t even have that setting. It’s safe to say that a channel’s location doesn’t really matter. Most of the channels for sale are from India, but you can easily use them to target a US audience.

It is true, most of the views will initially come from country where the video was created from.

Where do you buy the channels from ? Are all purchased channels in good standing or sometimes seller still cheat you ?

What's matters more is your video type and ahte audience it caters to. It will be suggested mostly based on that.

I am new here and did not read the rules yet so not sure if it is okay to say websites outside of the forum so, can not answer that for now but yes I had some problems with sellers but most of the time we were good because you not directly send the money to seller, there is a middle man which is the website itself.

Yes, it does.

If you're based in a developing country, your content is going to be presented more easily to people within that specific country and by extension your region.

Depending on your niche, you can broadcast further.

Maybe you're in India and since you picked a specific niche that not too many people in India follow, but is quite popular in the United States, then YouTube can side-step the process that I described above and broadcast your content to the United States.

With all of the above said, this is really a minor consideration because if you want your videos to actually gain a lot of traction and views every time you publish, focus on your analytics.

I would say I published 20 videos: 4 days or 5 days apart.

And then focus on your analytics.

You would notice clear patterns.

You would see that certain topics get a lot more traction than others.

You would see that certain writing styles draw more clicks, and so on.

The way YouTube has set up its system is that the analytics will actually teach you which direction to go so that your later videos have a higher chance of going viral.

So to recap, does the location of your YouTube channel or the country that you're in matter?

It does.

But it doesn't have as big of an impact as other factors.

At the end of the day, it's about the quality of the experience your viewers get.

Zero in on that, and YouTube is sure to reward you.

I don't think so, it depends on the language of the video. My channel is outside US, but the majority of my viewers are from US.

I don't face situations like this.
