I discovered how algorithm work

@PaddyVu You said that CTR > Retention but the more I use YouTube the more I realise that your statement is false.

I got many videos with low CTR but retention is around 70-80% so youtube algo pushes video

and all videos who have a super high CTR like 30-40 % but retention is low, youtube algo doesnt push

So after many tries, I came to the conclusion that Retention > CTR by a million times. I got a video with 2,6% CTR but retention was high so youtube started pushing like crazy.

Also: The retention of the source is important, not the overall retention.

For example, retention in search is low but in suggested videos/browse feature is high = algo push
I did mention earlier not long ago that retention must be high ENOUGH to make algoirthm push video, but the higher CTR the better, just like i said, content is perfect, funny already, but CTR is shit => low views/ slow views. Now i see my video that below 40 seconds but dont have atleast 80% retention, aglorithm will not push, it only work if it's above 85% :( this is for my channel but other channel can be different
 
I just opened a new channel and uploaded the first video, obviously after 12 hours I have only 4 views including 2 of my own (LOL).

1) How do I activate the algorithm so that it begins to suggest my video?

2)For those starting from scratch, what do you suggest to do step by step to make the channel grow fast?

@PaddyVu @SkeetSkeet34

Bro you want my honest opinion? There is no shortcut. Sure, if you already have a high follower count on another social media platform, you can share your videos there and get external views for your video but honestly...

My best advice is to upload videos the first 1-2 months without looking at the viewer count. Make videos the MOST high quality possible and upload frequently in a 2-3 months time period.

Even if a lot of videos get 0 views, over time youtube will 100% push your videos and then it's important that all of your videos are high quality in order to get the highest retention and CTR possible. So once it starts pushing your videos you can get the most out of it.

100% true bro BUT here comes the tricky part. I have videos with like 40% CTR or 30% CTR and HIGH retention and guess what? No push.

Why? Because YouTube algo thinks it's some kind of fraud mechanism so the videos don't get pushed.

I will post 2 examples.

Look at this video bro. CRAZY CTR, and CRAZY retention 99,5% = VERY LOW PUSH

Piss low CTR but HIGH RETENTION = non stop push

This may sound crazy but when I post videos I always pray for below average CTR and high retention because once the CTR is too high, it won't start pushing.

Wow great info. Thanks for sharing, tbh not sure why youd share this. Youtube will probably adjust the algos if this gets abused.
Why would they even care? It's not like something you can abuse?! So you think they will adjust people making GOOD HIGH QUALITY vidoes and gain traffic from algorithm because they are good at something?

Gaining views from external will only happen if you make good content and it's a whitehate method which is NOTHING new. You make it sound like they will adjust the algorithm because people are sharing their videos on social media platforms?
 
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.

Very impressive, I been working on growth strategies for so long and never seen a newbie put such great research together .

And again, i did mention in other post that youtube think i'm fraud so it will NOT push, yes it happens on 1 of my video but after 1 of my video go viral, video that youtube think "FRAUD" instant go viral also ( after 10 days ). This is the post i complain in :)

WHATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
725K Views = 24.82$ :v
 
WHATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

Oh that one is bad actually, it's quality but length of that video is 19s only, that's why, RPM 0.01$ :(, to make decent money, you need people watch atleast 30s of your content, some may skip the first 5s, so it worth to make length around 40-45s,

yeah bro so I guess you need to build some kind of trust score and youtube will push any good video after a while, thanks for info.
 
Hmmm there's an overall channel algorithm LOL, i edit a viral video using youtube and cut around 2-3 seconds => others viral videos views go up LOL, the one i edit also go up but very little.
1651992565113.png
 
I have a question, after i edit the video, can i revert it back to normal?
 
If you cut a video, you can revert it back to original
Yes i cut it using trim, how do i revert it? revert to original button is gray. Nvm found it, thank you !
 
Something tell me this is viral checking... ;) Pray for me :D

Your video was used as an ad in YouTube, I think...
LOL, someone uses it as Ads for real? Wow, two time seeing people pay money to advertise my video
 
Yep, viral checking passed and now i'm good XD, clearly engagement is the key plus excellent retention rate, 90% ( length 31s ). 9k views but 580 likes => 1 engagement per 15 views holy cow
