How Effective Are Bought Views/Subs to Growing a Channel?

So I see a lot of services promising real views/subs for videos, but how effective are these services for actually getting a channel launched? I know quality content is king, so assuming I've got content as good as the top channels in my niche, would these views actually help get me into the top rankings?

I am wondering aswell, can bought views grow your channel?

Buying views and subs is just part of the equation.

You need good content, you then boost it with some views and hope it picks up traction from its rankings.

If the content is shit it wont help much.

You might be better of buying real views from youtube.

So say your content is excellent, how effective are these views to actually ranking your videos? For example, assuming my video had the proper tags, title and description, if I had an acoustic cover of Adele's new hit song "Hello" would these views/subs bring my video into the first page (of more than 10) of the search results for "Adele Hello Acoustic Cover"? Or are these views/subs more for show?

IMHO these bought views and subs are not any good for growing your channel.

If your content is good, then you can promote it via related forums / you can run an ad campaign in youtube for your videos. These two are the best possible ways to grow your channel with good and unique content that you produce yourself.
