I discovered how algorithm work

People are still commenting this thread... Lmao.

This is a good story. But that is already in the past. Do you think these methods still work? Okay - y'all can try it.
But if you are not ready for algorithm changes every day, you are not a player.
You must be like water. You must understand that every new change will drop you out every time.
Don't expect to find all the answers in this thread. There are no answers to those questions that concern you so much.

I have a channel with 76000 subs and upload regularly.
The central premise in the original video that ctr is king is borne out by my recent uploads.

The one video that massively outperformed the others (150k vs 19k average) has a CTR of 14.3%. Most vids
have a ctr of 10% or under.

I don't see any justification for the quasi-mystical bs you are coming out with here. Whatever changes to the algorithm
there may have been recently haven't had much impact.
 
so all of that boils down to getting more than 10% CTR and 50% retention, and the algo with do the rest?

The suggestion to "make confuse title" ie a video that has an intriguing suggestion in the title is important, as is the limited use of humor.. I can testify to the latter haven't tested the former personally but I see other people having success with it. But yeah if you can get that ctr and view retention you WILL succeed, be warned that it is not that easy....
 
Greta job! Browse numbers are insane. In my experience suggested videos are on top if not very close to browse. Not the case in the one.
I will for sure try your technique on aa few clips and see how it goes.
Thanks for sharing.
 
Thank You. But you dont even mention is i for youtube. and get click from reddit.
 
First of all i'm not good at speaking English so hope u guys can understand what i'm saying :p
I'm just a newbie and also new to this algorithm, however after 1 month of testing, i discovered a lot of thing that can make your video go viral ( OR atleast boosting )
First u have to find popular niche or algorithm wont recongize your video.
Second, always aim for browse feature views, that mean SEO doesnt matter, do NOT try to SEO or make it appear on top search ( This is a waste of time for newbie )
Post your video to a few subreddit that relevant to your content, have atleast 50-100 views from external, after that stop and delete the link. WHY delete? Because organic views are still better than external so it shouldnt be too much, i have 1 video that go viral but at late time because i got too many views from external ( 7-8k ) and organic views only 100 ( CTR at this time is over 10% ) => Algorithm think i fraud. Algorithm will boost a video with 60 organic views plus 100 external and 8% CTR, it will not boost if u have 70 oraganic views with 0 external view and 9% CTR. Ofc with like 200-300 oragnic plus over 10% CTR, algorithm will start boosting instantly but most people cant affort that so make sure to share your video to social media.
Title is your best friend ( thumbnail only matter 30%, i dont know why people say thumbnail matter a lot but for me even i spend 5 hours to create high quality thumbnail, it isnt as good as confuse title), try to make confuse title that people must click on it to satisfy themselves, ofc your video must be relevant to that title, do NOT try to SEO your title, just make confuse title, example " Do u know this thing can kill u? " ; " This is the worst thing in my .... "
Title shouldnt be too long or it will apper as ...
CTR is KING, it has higher priority over high retention. Your CTR must be always above 15% for browse feature ( This can make u have atleast 100k views and above ) ( Mine is 19.2% and sitting at 500k views right now )
6% CTR vs 100% watchtime is worse than 15% CTR vs 50% watch time. Try to aim above 50% watch time, below i dont recommended.
Now for the engagement, do NOT try to make your video perfectly that everyone cant say something funny about your video, u will lose engagement, if u are doing some serious high quality work, try to add some funny moments in it. U can also use your other channels and comment on your own video, make it funny and answerable, people will upvote it and want to react with that comment, this is the key to make your video have high engagement. Limit 1 gmail per comment, 5 gmails per IP, try to watch full video or atleast 90% then add comment so u can trick algorithm and that comment will be legit ( If u go back to your channel and cant see that comment, that mean it's flagged as fraud ) ( for me 3 funny comments is enough for people to enjoy )
Now for the algorithm, it will check your video every hour, when requirement met, it will boost your video for 6 hours equal to your current CTR then drop to 10% of the boosting for 18 hours to test your video, if your video can maintain CTR or even make it higher, algorithm will boost again for another 6 hours and repeat the process.
Video that cant maintain 5% CTR while algorithm boosting will have 3-4k views for entire boost and may DIE permanently unless CTR increase again but this may needs a long journey ( That's why i heard some video may blow up at late time like 6 months after upload )
Video that can maintain over 15% CTR while algorithm boosting will have atleast 100-400k views for the entire boost depend on your retention and put video to test again for another boost.
Pretty much 95% white hat method, only black method is comment on your own video, u can also buy a few reddit upvote ( For me 10 is enough ), crowd effect will do the rest for your content.

This is a simple video that go viral ( This video isnt short because it's not vertical video ) ( length is 41s )

Does anyone have any updates for this in 2024 or is it about the same? Feedback anyone
 
I add 3 hashtag in description only, from now on I don't follow Vidlq anymore, everytime I try to seo to 70-80/100, nothing happen on my video or it only boost to 3-4k views, but this time I don't seo anymore, 5/100 seo score only and I got nearly 1M view
Can you teach me your method?

The method used by OP is almost like white hat, I think it will always work regardless of the timing. Every platform wants to have more traffic from various referral sources.
 
I noticed that it many times are not channels blowing up, but heads of creators of those channels, then they get so chaotic they can't put their "extreme experience" in a neat way on paper.

Here's more formatted version:

  1. Niche Selection:
    • Choose a popular niche for better algorithm recognition.
  2. Browse Feature Focus:
    • Aim for browse feature views rather than search engine optimization (SEO).
  3. Initial Exposure:
    • Share the video on relevant subreddits to gain 50-100 external views.
    • Remove shared links after gaining initial views.
  4. View Balance:
    • Maintain a balance between organic and external views.
    • Too many external views compared to organic views may be seen as fraudulent.
  5. Title Importance:
    • Create intriguing, "confusing" titles that encourage clicks.
    • Avoid SEO-focused titles; prioritize curiosity-inducing phrases.
  6. Click-Through Rate (CTR):
    • CTR is crucial, with a target of above 15% for browse features.
    • High CTR (e.g., 15% with 50% watch time) is prioritized over perfect watch time with low CTR.
  7. Watch Time:
    • Aim for above 50% watch time, though it's secondary to CTR.
  8. Engagement:
    • Include elements that encourage comments and discussion.
    • Consider using multiple accounts to post engaging comments on your own video.
  9. Algorithm Checking Process:
    • The algorithm checks videos hourly.
    • When requirements are met, it boosts the video for 6 hours based on current CTR.
    • Following the boost, it reduces exposure to 10% for 18 hours to test performance.
    • If CTR is maintained or improved, the boost cycle repeats.
  10. Performance Thresholds:
    • Videos unable to maintain 5% CTR during boosting may "die" with only 3-4k views.
    • Videos maintaining over 15% CTR during boosting can reach 100-400k views.
  11. Late Blooming:
    • Some videos may gain popularity months after upload if CTR increases.
You can make an AI based on this model of work and post here.
I mean, for generating titles and also help others figure out how to make videos like that.
I hate clickbait and I never believed it worked, but maybe it works. :p Of course I am biased towards non-clickbait ways, so I think the bright side is there, but I didn't care to see it.
The method used by OP is almost like white hat, I think it will always work regardless of the timing. Every platform wants to have more traffic from various referral sources.
Big tech today is so big that you don't need to do any black hat to be successful.
Everything that was called black hat, today is massively practiced by large companies.
It's normalized.

What you need today to be big is multi-channel strategy and seeing big entities as your friends, not enemies. Cooperate with them.
