hit 1000 subs and 4000 hours of watch time this morning. earlier this month, I would only buy 500-1000 views on a video just for it to gain suggested views afterwards. After doing this on a few videos, two of my videos blew up and I gained 1000 subscribers and thousands of hours of watch time in the course of 9 days.
i was worried that I wouldn't get monetized after this, so I decided to just not apply for monetization, but turns out my channel applied for it automatically. So now a human from YouTube is gonna review my channel. I'm not sure what they look for, but from looking at my analytics, 10 000 views are from external, while 135 000 views are from suggested, and another 30 000 from search, channel, playlists, etc etc.
When the guy is reviewing my channel, he's gonna see that the vast majority of my views are real. But if he sees that I got some views from external, will that raise suspicion? The external views come from reddit. And on the analytics, you just see spikes of external views every few days.
Only 5% of my total views are external tho so i don't know if I should worry or not.
What do you guys think?
